   I have tried almost all versions of slitaz-4.0 with no success. All attempts end at "Starting TazBox configuration ..." then the installation stops and I have a rectangular box on my monitor that says "Out Of Frequency".

   Specs are:

   * Processor Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 1GHz
   * Flash 256MB
   * RAM 256MB
   * Video Chip ATI Rage XL

   Any suggestions?

   You have to take 5.0 cooking or rc3 - it is 486 - 4.0 is 686 and the transmeta is 586

   And maybe lowram version, because 256 is on the limit

   Thanks for the recommendations kultex. Sorry it's taken a while to respond.

   I upgraded to 512 RAM. Tried slitaz-5.0-rc3 & slitaz-cooking and still reach "Out Of Frequency".

   Any other ideas?

   The problem is, that I never have seen "Out of Frequency"

   Can you describe a little bit more...

   when you say installation - is it Live boot or you have booted to openbox and the installation fails?

   * created bootable flash drive using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.3 selecting the slitaz iso
   * set the thin client to boot from usb
   * thin client recognizes thumb drive and starts installation
   * screen blanks then the "Out Of Frequency" message appears
   * Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets me back to the installation screen

   Thats not installation - thats booting the Live-CD. What you see is a message of your Monitor, that the resolution of SliTaz is out of the range of your Monitor.

   1) tell us the resolution of your Monitor - if you dont know, you will find it in the web

   2) try to install the ati driver

   boot with the bootoption "screen=text"

   login as tux with no password
   get root with "su" and password root

   then run tazx, selecet ati, get again user tux with "exit" and try startx

   so you have to get out /var/log/Xorg.0.log

   afer all this thisngs you did, you plug in a usb stick and mount it by hand:

   mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flash

   and then copy the log

   cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /media/flash

   and attach it in the forum

    sorry I forgot to say, that after installing the ati driver, you have to get user tux again, startx and then attach the log file - in this log file no ati or radeon modules are loaded......

    I hove no idea - normally it should run without any problems - did you try other linux - like antix or porteus

    normally that helps, if I have no more ideas with SliTaz - when I see how it works, it is more easy
