hey folks!

i thought i'd share a small success story about installing slitaz on a trekstor surftab wintron 3G tablet.
first i installed ubuntu on the tablet, as a dual-boot option alongside windows (sadly needed for certain closed source software).

Then i downloaded the current slitaz-rolling.iso and placed bzImage and rootfs1-4.gz in my /boot/ folder.
Added an entry ro grub.cfg and voila! slitaz booted upon selection in the grub menu.

I read some forum entry, i dont remember where, claming slitaz32 would not boot on uefi firmwares. turns out this was the case back in the day the entry was posted, some change between using kernel 3.2.71 and current 3.16.55 enabled booting via UEFI..

Hi K3nn3th,
I know, it's a long time ago, but nowadays I try to run SliTaz on my Odys Winpad V10, as I know it has a similar hardware like your Trekstor Wintron 10 tablet.
Do you still remmber, how you got the drivers detecting? Because on my Winpad the screen drivers will not be detected by the current Slitaz rolling.
It would be really kind, if you could remember your steps, get SliTaz running on your machine. Maybe you still use it?
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Kind regards, aniguenni
