Gee, I forgot the exact formula for doing it. If
you use xterm, then su, then tazusb, tazusb does all the work. And, there is a
manuel page for using tazusb somewhere on the tazli web site. The real fun is
figuring out how to keep programs in a regular file system on the USB key and
boot up using grub, and I haven't done that yet.

I finally
managed to get the usb version of slitaz to work by going to the command
line version of the installer. I also had some major problems with my
computer bios until I found the right settings for booting. Even with that,
installing the file system version of slitaz-cooking on another 8 gigabyte
usb stick using the graphic installer gets to a grub boot error after stage
1.5.
I found the list of installer programs on your package icon, and
I used it to get flash and realplayer. Going to any web site that supports
flash crashes firefox. Not complaining, merely reporting. If I start firefox
in an su xterm window, xterm reports that firefox has segfaulted at the
flash web page. I got the same segfault on a Hewlett-Packard presario with
1.6 mhz celeron M and a desktop that uses an intel motherboard with dual
atom 1.6 64-bit cpus. In other words, the segfault occurs on 32-bit and
64-bit cpus.
Real player using the slitaz download script does indeed
install, plays sound flawlessly, but refuses to display video. On the other
slackware linux system (RIPLinuX file system on a 4 gb usb stick) that I
use, real player can also be unwilling to show video, but does eventually do
so, if you "zoom" to full screen. I'm impressed that it runs on slitaz at
all. The other linux system I use has the pango library, but realplay
insists I am missing a pango shared file, until I do a suspicious symlink on
a different pango library file. Possibly the download script for slitaz is
using the "wrong" pango library file also.
I was having an
installation-script orgy using my newly working usb slitaz, until one of the
scripts apparently tainted the ethernet connection of my dsl to ethernet
modem and stopped communications. Merely connecting to my fussy modem under
any linux is a problem, and slitaz connects easily,
I know this is
beta software, and I am really impressed by its potential and the work
already done. I hope to work with upcoming
versions.
