 +===== SliTaz ISO image boot tricks =====
 +
 +The cdrom image has a hybrid format from version 5.0.
 +
 +  * It boots from a cdrom drive according to the el-torito specification as usual (BIOS or UEFI).
 +  * It boots from a memory card / USB key using the syslinux hybrid format (BIOS) or using a FAT partition mapped in the ISO image (UEFI).
 +  * It launches a USB boot key creation utility from Windows (32 bits).
 +  * It can boot from DOS (real mode or virtual 8086 with EMM386) directly:
 +
 +<code>C:\> ren slitaz.iso slitaz.exe
 +C:\> slitaz.exe</code>
 +<note tip>
 +The files bzImage, memtest and ipxe can boot with DOS too:
 +<code>C:\> ren bzimage bzimage.exe
 +C:\> bzimage.exe root=/dev/hda3 autologin</code><code>C:\> ren memtest memtest.exe
 +C:\> memtest.exe</code><code>
 +C:\> ren ipxe ipxe.exe
 +C:\> ipxe.exe http://myserver.org/boot.php</code></note>
 +
 +  * It is easily customizable with the iso2exe (compatible with taziso or tazpanel/boot/ISO mine) tool:
 +
 +<code>iso2exe -a "lang=fr_FR kmap=fr-latin1 tz=Europe/Paris" -i myconfig.gz slitaz.iso
 +iso2exe -l slitaz.iso
 +iso2exe -r slitaz.iso custom.append custom.initrd
 +taziso slitaz.iso getcustomconf
 +taziso slitaz.iso isomd5</code>
 +<note tip>You can tune the boot process with your own /init script:
 +<code>#!/bin/sh
 +
 +sed -i 's,^RUN_DAEMONS=",RUN_DAEMONS="dropbear ,' /etc/rcS.conf
 +cat >> /etc/init.d/local.sh <<EOM
 +/my/special/inits.sh
 +EOM
 +exec /init "$@"
 +</code>
 +Update the kernel command line:
 +<code>iso2exe -a "rdinit=/myinit lang=fr_FR kmap=fr-latin1 tz=Europe/Paris" -i myconfig slitaz.iso -f</code></note>
