| - | As well as most i486 or x86 architectures, SliTaz also supports arm v6 and work is on the stove for armv6hf (hard float) and armv7. A minimum of ??? is required to use the LiveCD and our Russians dolls system will automatically boot one of 4 systems, (currently core, gtk only, X windows and text) depending on the amount of memory available. The kernel supports a wide variety of wireless network, ???, ??? and sound drivers. | + | As well as most i486 or x86 architectures, SliTaz also supports arm v6 and work is on the stove for armv6hf (hard float) and armv7.

| + | ==== Kernel & Toolchain ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The kernel currently stands at 3.2.53 and uses Binutils 2.23.1, GCC 4.6.3, Glibc 2.14.1. Cookutils now boasts two new tools: 'cross' which gives you the ability to cross compile i?86, arm and x86_64 packages and 'cooklinux' which generates custom kernels from scratch. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== LiveCD core flavors ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | SliTaz GNU/Linux is distributed as a bootable LiveCD allowing you to graphically install to the hard drive and retain the use of your previous system including all settings, applications, documents, etc. The core LiveCD contains 4 different operating systems and will automatically select the one that your hardware will support. You can also select images from the menu and hit [TAB] to edit any options. The menu also provides a command line, help options, languages and the ability to webboot. The ISO image uses a 'hybrid' system which can also be directly copied (dd) onto a USB stick without formatting. SliTaz also provides the tools to remaster your LiveCD both graphically and from a command line. The SliTaz community provides many custom and preset flavors which can be downloaded from our mirrors. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Installation ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Installation can be fully automated with the Tazinst tool found in the SliTaz panel, this allows you to install SliTaz from a Live-CD, a LiveUSB key, a downloaded ISO image, or directly from the web. Frugal tools have been added to 5.0 to assist in a minimal HDD install and Tazinst also supports command line installation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Raspberry Pi ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The SliTaz port to the ARM processing architecture consists of a text mode base system and a lightweight desktop powered by JWM and the Fox toolkit. Both can be installed to a SD card by using the instructions found in the download directory. SliTaz RPi comes with its own tools including 'spk' - a tiny package manager, 'slitaz-config' - a system configuration menu and the 'tazberry' tool for RPi specific configurations. Boot scripts have been optimized for SliTaz and you will be prompted for a root password, keymap and default user on first power on. SliTaz RPi can also keep up to date with system and kernel updates and has its own [[http://arm.slitaz.org/codex/pibook.html|Pi Book]] | ||
