From Windows
A SliTaz Live USB installation or a Frugal Install can be performed using:
- either TazUSB for Windows,
- or the famous UNetbootin.
Using TazUSB
The binary file TazUSB.exe is a windows executable that installs an iso file on a USB pen. Here is a step-by-step procedure tested with Windows_XP and a 2GB Sony USB pen.
- Download the slitaz iso file you would like to install on your USB pen from: http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/
- download TazUSB executable for Windows: tazusb.exe (the sources are available here tazusb.nsi)
- plug your USB pen and format it in FAT32 (not sure if formatting is required),
- launch TazUSB application by double-clicking on TazUSB.exe file,
- choose the language,
- select the iso file you freshly downloaded,
- and that's it.
Using UNetbootin
To create a Live USB, select “USB Drive” under installation type.
You can also choose to do frugal install. To perform a Frugal Install, select “Hard Disk” under installation type.
