Founded by Christian Lincoln, it is one of the smallest portable Linux distributions available and can be stored and run directly from a USB key or other removable media. This Tiny Linux distribution is a very fast running free operating system that can be run entirely from system memory. the syslinux tool for the SliTaz version you install: syslinux-4.05.zip for SliTaz 4.0 syslinux-3.82.zip for SliTaz 3.0 syslinux-3.73.

Tazusb gen-liveusb adds UUID to extlinux.cfg for blkid Applications/System Tools/Create a LiveUSB which is gui frontend for tazusb gen-liveusb and tazusb gen-iso2usb USB flash drive partitioned/formated to ext3 with Applications/System Tools/Gparted Partition Editorģ. None of the configs in my ~/ would be available,and if I tazusb writefs gzip the new rootfs will be written to the sata drive and not the tazusb drive.ġ. But if I run my tazUSB in another computer with sata drives or add a sata drive to this computer it will mount the wrong partition as /home and not work correctly. I have no sata drives connected to the computer,only a dvd writer so my USB flash is /dev/sda and home=usb could work in this configuration. You should be able to identify the flash drive by it's smaller size,number of partitions,filesystem,etc. I prefer to use UUID instead of /dev/sdXX as it locks /home to the unique UUID number of the flash drive. If a sata drive is connected, it will always be recognized before the usb drive and grabs sda. Home=usb is the same as home=sda1 which is why it only works if there are no hard drive's connected to the computer your running the tazusb on. If anyone could give me a hand in trying to figure this out, it would be very much appreciated! I am using the latest ver 4 RC2 cooked. I don't need the USB to boot with the persistent option every time, as once it's set up, I likely won't need to make a lot of changes going forward. I'd rather set things up once and then have the settings saved.

The main reason I need to make the changes persistent is that I have a Lenovo T61 I'd like to run this with, but need to set up things like the appropriate Nvidia drivers (as per the fantastic writeup on here). (next time I boot, it's reverted to the as d/l version) Neither seems to capture/save the OS with the changes.

When finished, I've tried 'tazusb writefs' and 'tazusb writefs gzip'. In this video ill show you how to prepare a bootable USB to run/install slitaz Linux on your computer.Sorry for voice stuttering (noob in recording stuffs. When booting using the gui menu, I append the first option with 'home=usb'. However, there are many other ways to install SliTaz The following configurations are using the SliTaz 4.0 boot loader grub4dos-linux. I've been reading about ways to make Slitaz on the USB persistent, but nothing has worked for me. The slitaz-installer installs SliTaz in a partition or a hard drive as most Linux distributions do. Slitaz seems like a good starting point, but this time around, I'd like to be able to run it/keep it on a USB rather than using harddrive space. While Mint has worked well for me, it is large for the limited time I spend in my linux partition. Hello everyone, I'm new to Slitaz, but not linux in general (been using Mint off and on for a number of years).
