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 drive. Here is a step-by-step procedure tested with Windows_XP and a 2GB Sony USB drive.
- Download the slitaz iso file you would like to install on your USB drive from: http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/
- download TazUSB executable for Windows: tazusb.exe (the sources are available here tazusb.nsi)
- plug in your USB drive and format it in FAT32 (formatting might not be required),
- launch TazUSB application by double-clicking on TazUSB.exe executable file,
- choose the language,
- select the destination USB drive (double-check that the letter refers to the correct drive),
- select the Slitaz 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.
