   Hi

   I use grub4dos on hdd with slitaz iso.
   (formatted fat32)
   (created boot folder on driver c and copied files there)
   (used bootlace for boot record)

   it's booting and working well. But doesnt save any changes. (creating folder or installing applications)

   # SliTAZ
   default 0
   timeout 0

   title slitaz
   rootnoverify(0,0)
   kernel /boot/bzImage slitaz home=hd0 autologin lang=en kmap=us
   initrd /boot/rootfs.gz

   * I tried tazusb writefs for changes and automaticly created rootfs.gz in root folder. I copied this file under driver c and restart the os. but doesnt work. giving FAILED errors.

   any suggestions?

   The partition you designate as home= on the kernel line of boot loader menu must be formated in a linux file system (ext3) for persistence to work.

   As i learned i cant save file for fat32.
   So in this case i just use another partition (ext3 formatted) for persistence to work

   you are missing "rw" in the parameters.

   kernel /boot/bzimage rw root=/dev/null home=4029-E1EB lang=en_US kmap=us

   i use fat32 and specify the UUID in "home=".

   Do you have a solution for Slim "Failed to execute login command" for regular user ?

   How come it doesnt work in my pc.
   Even i tried now "rw" parameter, also put UUID.

   I use slitaz 3.

   Keep giving error "Failed to execute login command".
