 ===== Automated Graphical Approach using UNetbootin =====
 A SliTaz Frugal Install or a Live USB installation can be performed using [[http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/|UNetbootin]].
+<note warning>
+**Unetbootin will not work with the main 4.0 release slitaz-4.0.iso or slitaz-rolling.iso** which are core 4-in-1 iso's with multi-rootfs.gz without manually editing the boot menu or combining the multi-rootfs.gz into one.
+Please use [[http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/4.0/flavors/slitaz-4.0-core.iso|slitaz-4.0-core.iso]] or another single rootfs.gz flavor found [[http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/4.0/flavors/|here]]. </note>
