 +<note tip>The subdirectory install can be easily tested with a [[wp>Raspberry_Pi]] running [[wp>Raspbian]] with the [[http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-arm/raw-file/tip/rpi/tazbian|tazbian]] script. This script creates a raspbian package from the latest SliTaz tarballs found on the [[http://mirror.slitaz.org/arm/rpi/|mirror]] . The installation of this package <code>$ sudo dpkg -i slitaz-<VERSION>-1_armhf.deb</code> will install SliTaz in /var/os/slitaz and setup a multiboot. It does not remove rasbian or alter partitions.</note>
