Generate your own LiveUSB media
To generate your own LiveUSB media, first you need to login as root with su and locate your usb storage device using the command:
# fdisk -l # normally /dev/sdb1
Then format and label your device (Warning: this will erase all data, make sure you specify the right device):
# tazusb format /dev/sdb1
And finally generate your LiveUSB media device:
# tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sdb1
And that's all you need to do, you can now boot SliTaz from usb media (providing your computer bios supports this method).
Maintaining system settings
When you finish your LiveUSB session, make sure you maintain your installed packages, system settings, etc, by backing up the entire current filesystem with one the following commands:
fast compression, average filesize:
# tazusb writefs gzip
slow compression, smaller filesize:
# tazusb writefs lzma
no compression, larger filesize:
# tazusb writefs none
Each of these writes everything to a 'rootfs.gz' archive to be loaded the next time you boot.
