-When you finish your LiveUSB sessionmake sure you maintain your installed packagessystem settingsetcby backing up the entire current filesystem ​with one the following commands:+Note that the /dev/sdxx part of the command above specifies the location to where you need to write the iso's files to; it is not the source media where the iso is on ! With the iso file as install source option, you should hence specify the exact location where the slitaz iso  source file is located. If it is located at /home/tux (while running slitaz from a non-live version)write "​tazusb gen-iso2usb /​home/​tux/​slitaz.iso /​dev/​sdxx"​. If the source file is found on an external hard diskmention the folder in which the media'​s files are outputted to - check this with PCManFM (in practice the folder can be something like /​media/​disk). So, the command you'd need to write with the latter would be something like "​tazusb gen-iso2usb /​media/​disk/​slitaz.iso /​dev/​sdxx"​
  
-    * fast compression,​ average filesize: <​code>​ # tazusb writefs gzip </​code>​ +And that's all you need to do, you can now boot SliTaz ​from usb media (providing your computer bios supports this method).
-    * slow compression,​ smaller filesize: <​code>​ # tazusb writefs lzma </​code>​ +
-    * no compression,​ larger filesize: <​code>​ # tazusb writefs none </​code>​ +
- +
-Each of these writes everything to a '//​rootfs.gz//'​ archive ​to be loaded the next time you boot. +
- +
-If anything should go wrong when writing your filesystem, you can simply rollback to your previous filesystem by typing '//​previous//'​ at the '//boot://' prompt. Older backups are named '//​rootfs.gz.unixtimestamp//'​ and can be safely deleted ​from the ///home// folder to save disk space using //tazusb clean//.+
