eeried, you don't need to log out or reboot to enable changes. Just edit /etc/network.conf (with nano or leafpad) and then "/etc/init.d/network.sh restart". That should work.

Hope it helps!

Come on: then just make a small frugal hdd-install on some ext3-partition. Edit the rcS-file, as far as I understand it, and set the details right. I vaguely remember I had a similar issure one year before, but this machine I do not have here.
The procedure: boot with the CD, copy the content of the CD to the hard-drive directory, name it ,,slitaz". Then set up the right details while you are booted. Then use ,,tazusb writefs". After that you delete the rootfs.gz-file in ,,slitaz" and replace it with /rootfs.gz.
Add the right GRUB config expression into the menu.lst of /boot/grub:

root (hd0,1) - or what you have
kernel /slitaz/boot/bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw nomodeset
initrd /slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz
boot

If there is a problem when you use it look into /var/log/messages.

Editing the file is to no avail since with the Live-CD there's no point logging out or rebooting to enable changes.

It finds it and I can put in my key but it only sends, doesn't receive. Any hints happily accepted.

PS........... 4RC2 looks sophisticated and very professional

by chance i could easily go back to the previous interface, not a big fan of the changes which i understand have been on the way for a while.

Saw the web interface, nice for package installation, not so nice for wifi (compared to the interface that was available with 3.0). would prefer a button to run the previous interface rather than editing a file !

Wifi VERY unstable, constantly disconnecting, which makes it viruatlly unusable here.
I do have some unstability with 3.0 but not at this scale...

I found what is below, without being sure this is useful (When the network seems to be disconnect i have to disconnect then reconnect)

Parallel port: I am still looking on how to get a parrallel port scanner be recognised by Slitaz: still no /dev/parport -> how should that work?

Thanks

It looks like it's running at 800x600 though ...

Plop looks like a useful tool - for those interested in it there is a mode summary here:- http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/startmodes.html

Not sure if that will help our present situation. With a TazUSB-created USB stick we are still seeing the initial boot startup messages (like the Live CD), then those error messages detailed above.

The BIOS is finding the USB stick OK, the boot process is starting, then we get the error messages that are reporting missing items. Either the items are needed (and missing) or the TazUSB config script is asking for something that may not be appropriate to this rev. Beyond my present understanding, either way!

I've tried Unetbootin as well as using dd to create the USB stick, both with no success so far.

The good news is that we have found our USB CD drive and can carry on testing SliTaz with that.

I'll have a look at the fr_FR in a while. The 2011 cooking was far from perfect in the FR locale.

As much as I really appreciate SliTaz and its clever use of Openbox and bits of LXDE (a far cry from the whole LXDE) I'd like to grumble a bit ;-) about this hurdle for old computers. SliTaz is certainly great on faster computers than a PII with 256MB RAM but we need SliTaz to work out of the box on old computers. 256MB as two 128MB sticks on the two slots is quite an improvement on the original single 64MB stick and we have trouble here finding compatible 256MB sticks.
We have a few old computers that we have refurbished as sensibly as possible. They refuse to break down, and it seems a pity to dump them to the recycling bin just because they're quite out of fashion and obsolete.

Of course, I'm well aware nobody wants computers that are are unable to display a streaming webM video but we should be able to watch the video after downloading it.

I have a question: while booting, SliTaz gets an ethernet lease alright and the connection box says it is connected but ifconfig shows errors and Midori displays a connection error page.

At the moment, I have a simple DSL modem and no router.

I can't even connect to the modem.

The connection works fine on another computer running on Trisquel 5 (Gnome) and I can connect to the modem. I thought the modem was flaky, which may be possible but at the moment it's working fine with Triquel.

What can I do?

New package nvidia-173xx-173.14.31_2.6.37 works fine now in my laptop. Smplayer can play fullscreen without trouble. Thank you very much!

I have the same issue on my PIII 950Mhz 256MB RAM PC. Maybe it's related to 256MB RAM or less.
