Warning: /dev/cdrom: Mount failed Error 3 Invalid source
This is what I get when I try to install SliTaz on my hard drive. I think I'm doing the other stuff right like adding a password and selecting the drive (there are 3 to select), but it won't install.

During startup, /dev/cdrom is automatically added to /etc/fstab by the init script /etc/init.d/rcS.
Some applications (like PCManFM) use udev for device detection, so the fstab entry produces error messages.
Maybe your fstab entry is buggy? I suggest deleting the entry and trying over again.

Open the file manager, click on the CDreader to mount the CD and look in the address bar where it is mounted ; on my PC, CDrom are mounted in /media and never in /media/cdrom.
Then, open TazPanel, click on Panel (the name of the first tab) and look in the statistics which disk correspond to the CDreader ; on my computer it's... hdc !
So, as you, I can't install SliTaz from TazPanel with the LiveCD ; I used an iso image.
Edit : and as you, I had an Error 3

The CDreader appears in the left part of the file manager (you must insert a CDrom inside before)
In TazPanel, just click on the name of the tab (Panel) not on one of the three options (Terminal/Processes/Create Report)

Sorry for not know what I'm doing. I understand clicking the Panel now.
Just to be sure, mounting this disk is just clicking on it to the left in the file manager right?
And like you, it says my disk is "hdc" so now what?
And it says the file or iso is located "/media/SliTaz core-4in1"

Open terminal ,su,password: root
chmod 666 /dev/hdc
chmod 666 /dev/cdrom
Retry installation.
If that doesn't work:
[1]Find out the cdreader drive name:
fgrep -s "drive name" /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | cut -f 3
[2]As root make install SOURCE_ROOT= /media/source
mkdir /media/source
[3]Mount Slitaz 4.0 live cd in cdreader to /media/source
mount -t iso9660 /dev/result from [1] /media/source
This command:
ls -la /media/source
Should return:
