Hi all,
How do i make my own iso from installed system, is that even possible?
If so how do i do, and if i have added for example my own icons etc will that
also be transfered to Live-Iso?

Hi,
RTFM :-) Tazlito manual is installed on each SliTaz distro and is also online
http://hg.slitaz.org/tazlito/raw-file/tip/doc/tazlito.en.html
Look at writeiso command also in the tazlito-wiz GUI (Menu --> system tools --> Create LiveCD) your have a writeiso button
Hugs,

This doesn't seem to work as suggested. It may work when 'not installed' but when running in RAM.
I have 4.0 installed and when I try Menu> System> Tools> Create LiveCD> writeISO .....it goes thru a process but then I get to a message that tells me about having to have a 'liveCD' in the CDdrive, which is there, and I am invited to put one in.....and then to press enter to continue! When I press enter...everythig disappears.
@plumtreed
The Write ISO button made an iso here.
Try it from terminal.
Open terminal,su, password: root
If you have a slitaz cd put it drive. otherwise loop mount the slitaz iso to /media/cdrom
tazlito writeiso gzip
Thanks for your reply but exacty the same thing happens.
Slitaz 4.0 is installed and I have a working CD liveiso in the CD drive.
The terminal crash's ?
Maybe your system is running out of hard memory.
When invited to proceed by pressing enter the terminal crashes.
I am using only 461MIb on 2gb USB drive.........external to an eeePC701
I have used this process previously and successfully with version 3.0 but only as a live cd running in RAM
This is a full install or a frugal/live install of slitaz-4.0 on the flash drive?
How much ram does the computer have?
This is a full install on the flash drive and I have the original 512RAM
.........and the terminal doesn't 'crash' it reverts back to the root prompt #
I can create an iso with a live session from a liveCD and I have accomplished what I wanted to do, but, ... It doesn't seem possible to create an iso when installed to a 'drive', albeit a usb flashdrive.
Yeah there's all kinds of problems with it dude. It'd be cool if it actually worked.
When I use tazlito writeiso etc. it starts writing, (at least it says it is) it gets up to about 24M then the entire background vanishes, and it reboots to a login. After logging in it's a corrupt system where some of the apps work and some don't, but most importantly, there's no .iso file! lol
So it's got bugs in it and you're not the only one who has problems with it. It would be cool if it worked like they say it should though.
The one problem I had when running tazlito writeiso lzma
on a full install is tazlito is unable to auto mount the livecd to copy over the bootloader files and kernel.
Which returns this message:
When SliTaz is running in RAM the kernel and bootloader files are kept
on the cdrom. Please insert a LiveCD or loop mount the slitaz.iso to
/media/cdrom to let Tazlito copy the files.
So I did this:
Find the drive.name: cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
mount drive.name /media/cdrom
Reran tazlito writeiso lzma
and it made the iso.
If the user has no cdrom drive in their computer: "user can also loop mount the slitaz.iso to /media/cdrom".
The reason for tazlito mount failure is when you run the Slitaz livecd symlinks /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are made to the scsi device name of your cdrom drive by /etc/init.d/rcS
Line 133=> http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-boot-scripts/file/8c7926208f7c/etc/init.d/rcS#l133
These links are not on the livecd so they are not written to disk on a full install.
Tazlito uses symlink /dev/cdrom to mount the cdrom drive to /media/cdrom so it fails.

.......almost missed this!
Thanks Mojo, will give it a try next time.
What can I say.......works perfectly....thanks for the detailed explantion which clarified the problem and showed where things were going wrong......appreciate your efforts!
