 +===== 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>
