SliTaz Pizza and me

I cooked my first pizza on http://pizza.slitaz.me/ yesterday and have a few questions about it.
1. The help page says about installation
  
  Pizza can be installed and setup in a few commands. The package provides .../... So let's go through the installation: # tazpkg -gi slitaz-pizza
  Does this package really exist? I didn't find it on the mirror.
  
  Or from Hg: # hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-pizza
  --> sh: hg: not found
  Is there another way to use pizza than through http://pizza.slitaz.me/?
2. After choosing for example Core - Default SliTaz desktop, the next step displays the default packages (215) for the ISO. But it is built, I can see that 238 packages have been installed.
  What are these 23 suplementary packages? Are related to my hardware?
  And how do I understand in the flavor status
  Packages : 215 in list - 0 installed
3. This is not a question but just a note. When using slitaz-pizza from ie8 (sorry, my boss is attached to Windows) at rootfs step, the (None) doesn't appear in the different fields and you have to double-click to insert wallpaper, files...
  Here is my question concerning this step. I didn't understand the utility of the Rootfs tarball field (I'm still a beginner with linux). Does it means that I can upload a rootfs.gz that would contain for example just a /etc directory with customized .conf files that would overwrite default .conf?
4. What's the effect of Fast boot?
5. Will it be possible, later, to upload its own kernel?
6. Is it possible to upload a previously built ISO and to modify it: add or remove packages?
Sorry, you shouldn't let me play with tools that I don't know ;-)
But I promise that when I will control it, I'll write the SliTaz Pizza manual.

Key Master
1. slitaz-pizza installation
  
  Package slitaz-pizza does not exist
  
  You need to install mercurial first.
  
  # tazpkg -gi mercurial
2. Flavor status
  
  Supplementary package are related to dependencies
  
  0 installed. It is just a bug in the report status
3. Yes that's right.
4. Not. But it's a good idea.
5. No.

Thanks for these informations, erjo.

I guess answers 4 & 5 are my questions 5 & 6.
For fast boot, I remebered that I've already read something about it but I didn't remember where. I found it : http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:boottime

Now I have answers to all my questions. It only remains to me to test everything.

I'm doing tests for the manual but it seems Pizza does not work like I would... or like it should?

Step 2: Packages
I tried to suppress locale packages, syslinux, syslinux-extra, gpxe... and many others. Yes, packages disappear from the list but after built are in the ISO.
How does the [Remove package(s)] function work?

Step 3: - Desktop Wallpaper
Made several tries here too and never found my wallpaper in ISOs (yes it was in jpeg format).
Why?

Hello,

I continue to test Pizza.
I tested to load a rootfs tarball but unfortunately I don't find my files in the ISO after it's built. It seems that only downloading .README/.desktop/.html/.png/.jpg files works at step 3.
What do I miss ?

Hi all,

As promissed (so long ago) here is the first part (ISO builder - the second part, .flavor builder, should come in a few weeks) of the SliTaz Pizza Manual.
Very selfishly, I've written it in french but the english version will follow soon.
Waiting for it, french readers can already tell if they saw errors, and give more precise information concerning the low RAM support in the ISO image conversion section...
Thanks.

I hope my html code is not too bad :-/. By the way, is there a specific reason to not use the doku wiki format to write manuals?
