 The SliTaz LiveCD accepts various boot options at the prompt. There are two types of options: options handled by SliTaz software and those generally handled by the Linux kernel.

 === Slitaz Parameters ===
   * **home=usb**
-    * Specifies a /home directory to use within the Live environment. This will include your bookmarks, downloads and desktop customisations. To store your data permanently, you need USB media with a partition formatted in ext3; see the [[en:handbook:liveusb|Live USB]] page for more information. In most cases **home=usb** can be used for //sdb1//, or **home=**//devname// where the equivilent /dev node can be specified. Note that you can also specify the device using the partition UUID or label by using ** home=* **. Example:

+  * **Prepare USB media**
+    * All USB media can formatted in the native Linux ext3 filesystem. Ext3 is a journalised, stable filesystem, it allows you to keep permissions on all files and is much more secure than the default Windows FAT32 filesystem. To format USB media you have a few options: the command line with mkfs.ext3, the tazusb utility or graphically with Gparted. To get a full list of available partitions including the USB drive you can use the command fdisk -l and then format. Example:

 ===== The Desktop =====

 The desktop is powered by //Openbox//. You can start applications from the menu at the lower-left of the screen. Applications are classified by category and are available in English. Menu, theme and wallpaper can all easily be changed to your needs/preferences, and personal settings and data can be stored on various USB media (Flash key, SD card, etc).
