You can use any SliTaz flavor (except lorams).</note> |
| + | <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> | ||

| + | |||
| + | Use [[http://mirror.slitaz.org/pkgs/?package=posixovl|posixovl]] ! | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Root filesystem files installation ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You need to mount the target subdirectory (say /slitaz) with posixovl **before** installing the files. | ||
| + | # mkdir /mnt/slitaz | ||
| + | # mount.posixovl /mnt/slitaz | ||
| + | # unlzma -c /media/cdrom/boot/rootfs.gz | ( cd /mnt/slitaz ; cpio -idmu ) | ||
| + | <note tip> | ||
| + | Windows users can extract the archive http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/4.0/slitaz-4.0.zip and look at the file \slitaz\boot\install.txt | ||
| + | </note> | ||
| + | ==== Boot setup ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Like a loop install, you need a preinit iso file with a matching version. | ||
| + | The partition (say /dev/hda1) and the path into the partition are defined by the mount, subroot and **posixovl** arguments: | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | title SliTaz cooking | ||
| + | map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-preinit.iso (hd1) | ||
| + | map --hook | ||
| + | kernel (hd1)/boot/bzImage mount=/dev/hda1 subroot=slitaz posixovl | ||
| + | initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz | ||
| + | </file> | ||
