So I am currently downloading the .iso file of all packages for Slitaz 4.0. Although the downloads page says the file is only 2 gigabytes, I have found while downloading it that it is actually weighs over 6 gigs. I currently have slax running in live on a 16 gig usb drive. My next largest flash drive is only 5 gigabytes. My question is whether I can simply copy the .iso file to a folder on my 16 gb live usb and use it to install packages from. Or would i need to "burn" it to a dedicated usb (at least 6 gb)? Any suggestions would be great.
How can I use "packages-4.0.iso"?
