   I am on a virtual box Slitaz 3.0 and configure the system with the packages I want. Then I select the create live cd option, with gzip and it creates an iso file. Tried it many times and the results are consistent - the iso boots into a command line login and I can log into a shell. Don't get any GUI - login or desktop.

   Help!

   Maybe try using http://pizza.slitaz.org to create the base isos?

   Did you used the tazlito?

   if not try to issue "tazlito writeiso gzip" command in a terminal,
   it'll create a iso of current system with home folder.

   OK, re-installed 3.0 download (and burned to CD) to hard drive and tried the above command as well as the GUI Live CD Installer. They both ask for a cd in the drive - because apparently the thing is running like a live CD in RAM. So, putting the CD in cooks the ISO correctly and it loads with GUI and all. THANKS! guys.

   Now I see something odd... the ISO boots (net booting) fine on one laptop (Compaq) and the LAN port gets renamed from eth0 to eth1 on an Acer laptop. Jiggling the settings to eth1 fixes the issue and can get back on the net. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

   Just found a related message (reference: http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/975/resolved-pcmcia-ethernet-adapter-not-detected-/p1):
   ===
   * Your problems of udev changing eth0 -> eth1 is due to the fact that you did the install putting your hard disk in another pc.

   * Udev remembers the mac address of the network card he sees and try to reassign the same name to the same mac address. So he thinks that eth0 should be the network card you had in the other pc and refuses to assign eth0 to other cards.

   * You should be able to assign eth0 to your card editing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and changing the NAME= value and reboot.
   ===
   But what do we change NAME value to?

   As user root:
   * Edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file and remove the address attribute. This is ATTR{address}=="your mac address"
   * Ensure /home/slitaz directory is deleted like so: rm -rf /home/slitaz
   * Then create the iso with a slitaz-3.0 CD in the drive, like so: tazlito writeiso gzip

   That's it!
