   I put Slitaz on USB-stick. I want to connect to the internet via 3g modem Huawei E1550.
   I read an article http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:dialup. But in this article describes setting up 3g modem is used to access the internet. But I have not yet set up a modem and Internet access I have.
   I can download the required packages through the windows.
   But what packages are needed? How do I get 3g modem?

   I use 3G myself and I made it a little easier by using Sakis3G. It requires a little work to make it work properly.

   First download the following package based on which version of SliTaz you have:
   For Stable (SliTaz 3):
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/bash-4.0.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/linux-dialup-2.6.30.6.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/usbutils-0.84.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/tar-1.20.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/bzip2-1.0.4.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/nscd-2.10.1.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/gmp-4.2.2.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/make-3.81.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/coreutils-conditions-7.6.tazpkg
   http://www.trixarian.za.net/downloads/sakis3g-stable.tazpkg

   For the Latest SliTaz Cooking:
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/bash-4.2.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/linux-dialup-2.6.37.tazpkg
   http://trixarian.za.net/downloads/nscd-2.11.2.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/grep-2.7.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/gmp-5.0.1.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/make-3.82.tazpkg
   http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/coreutils-conditions-8.10.tazpkg
   http://trixarian.za.net/downloads/sakis3g-cooking.tazpkg

   Download them and then just boot up SliTaz and copy them to your home folder.

   Now open a terminal (xterm - it has an icon that's a box, with >_ in it) and do the following:
   1. Type su and press enter/return
   2. Type your root password (default password is root)
   3. Type tazpkg install bash-4.0.tazpkg (or tazpkg install bash-4.2.tazpkg for cooking) and install the program. You can use tab to help select the full package name.
   4. Do the same for ALL the above packages you downloaded preferably in the order I have above and only installing sakis3g last.
   5. Plug in your 3G Modem and go to "Red Spider Button"---> Internet ---> Sakis3G and pick Connect on the menu. Select all the defaults and first options if asked a question. If everything goes well, you should be online in about 1-2 minutes. If not, try different combinations of answers to the questions Sakis3G asks you.

   I'm working on a newer version of this package. It will have a better conf file and have less package requirements. Currently it's requirements is only bash and linux-dialup for cooking, so watch this space ;)

   Thank you.
   Now download the packages and try to configure your modem.

   I read his text with an interpreter and saw that the translation is very bad. :)
   I'm surprised you could understand my question.

   Yesterday downloaded packages to setup 3g modem.
   But before installing decided to test whether the changes are saved on the usb-flash drive? Using the boot parameters:
   slitaz home=usb
   are not saved!
   Use the command:
   # tazusb writefs gzip
   does not work!

   To create a usb-stick I've used Universal-USB-Creator. USB flash drive formatted as fat32. Decided that this was a problem. So today is formatted as ext3, and created a flash means slitaz:
   # tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sdb1

   But after that the stick is not visible under the windows. Okay, decided to test retention. Load parameter:
   slitaz home=usb
   There is a user name - tux, I type the password - tux, but again there is a user name! The system is loaded only as root.

   How do to change the saved user tux? Can I make the flash drive when it read under windows?

   For whomever was looking for the nscd package earlier: It's now included with my sakis3g cooking package. You just need linux-dialup and bash to use it now. Everything else is included!

   Hello, thanks for your guide to installing sakis3g. I tried your instructions, even downloading and installing the packages according to the sequence you specified. However I get error messages when installing the gmp, make and sakis3g packages I think it was. Seems like some of these packages try to wget more packages from the slitaz mirror? but as I'm not connected to the internet, I'm can't do that.

   Have you come up with a newer version of this package yet? - which is easier to install?

   Which version of SliTaz are you using?

   Also note my domain has changed. You can find the sakis3g package at http://www.trixarian.net/SliTaz

   You only need the usbutils, linux-dialup and bash packages for SliTaz 3 while you only linux-dialup and bash to use it with SliTaz Cooking. Everything else should be included with my sakis3g package.

   Hi!
   I completed the first steps installing each package.
   But I cannot do this:

   "Red Spider Button"---> Internet ---> Sakis3G and pick Connect on the menu.

   I tried with "run" too and nothing happened.

   I tried in terminal and I get this error:

   tux@slitaz:~$ sakis3g
   /tmp/sakis3gz.4865.sakis3g: line 59: syntax error: Bad substitution

   Thanks!

    That error tells me you clearly didn't install the bash package. That probably means you didn't install linux-dialup either :/

    Hi.
    I followed the steps.
    Could you confirm me which are the links?
    So I'll try to download again.
    Slitaz 3.0.
    Thanks!

    You should have typed Yes and not y when installing bash, because the proper checks for y and n only got added after SliTaz 3. Also as noted on my site, you only need to install linux-dialup, tar, bz2, bash and usbutils for Sakis3g to work - the rest is include with the package.

    Hi!
    Thanks for your response!
    You're ok! And now I'm here posting with Slitaz and 3G modem.
    Is there any way of make this connection "automatic"?
    I want to avoid who's gonna use the system to enter by console every parameter connection everytime he uses internet (apn, user, pass).
    I'm using sakis3g via Xterm, is there a graphic alternative? That would simplify what I asked before.
    Thanks again!
