   Slitaz was designed to be full install. If you want a full persistence without full install, Try TazPuppy a Slitaz-Puppy hybrid.

   @ fehlauer,

   I guess you are using a LiveUSB, aren't you?

   In this case you must active the persistence on your USB stick but this one must be formated EXT2 or EXT3.
   If not (probably the case if you created your Live from a third party tool), you can easily create a new one:

   • boot your SliTaz Live
   • download the latest Rolling core
   • open the file manager and change its preferences: click on Edit > Preferences > Volume Management and unhook Mount removable media automatically when they are inserted, click on the [Close] button
   • insert a USB stick
   • change to the directory where you saved the ISO and press [F4] to open a terminal, become root:
     - type su and press [Enter], you'll be prompt to enter a password
     -type root and press [Enter]
     note that no one character will be display during you'll be entering the passord
   • type tazusb format
     TazUSB will ask you for the device to format:
     Format a device
================================================================================
Please specify the target USB device to format. You can type 'list' to get a
list of devices, type 'exit' or give an empty value to exit.
Device to use:
   • type list to identify your stick, it should return something like this

     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     /dev/sdb1    15,1,12     482,15,32         8064    3917471    3909408 1908M  6 FAT16
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Device to use:

   • enter the device to use, according your stick is /dev/sdb1 as in the example above type /dev/sdb1
   • Please specify a filesystem type ext2, ext3, ext4 or fat32 (ext3):
     press [Enter] to format the stick ext3, or you can use ext2 as you want, this won't make any differences
   • When the formating is completed, type tazusb gen-iso2usb slitaz-rolling-core.iso /dev/sdb1

   The new LiveUSB should have persistence.
