I found a link to the sources of the distribution http://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz//sources/. But nowhere did I find a way to cross-compile the distribution, then pack it into iso9660 and boot. I want to make my own modification, why is there no such possibility?
Is it possible to cross-distribute your distribution?

offlineMemberHi Hawksed - Im just a beginner re slitaz..and am not sure what you mean by 'cross-compile'. But if you just mean modify Slitaz by adding more packages then make a new iso file - then Slitaz is made to do exactly that.
May I suggest you take a look at:
http://hg.slitaz.org/tazlito/raw-file/tip/doc/tazlito.en.html(Im still learning about this…and have yet to get it to work..mainly due to my inabilities. But it will give some idea of the versatility of Slitaz.)

I too have an interest in that though…be fun (and a challenge) to get Slitaz working on a G4 iBook that I have. May explore this using T2 or Finn linux systems which can run on a G4 PPC.

Perhaps this is just what I need. Now I'm going to check.>I too have an interest in that though…be fun (and a challenge) to get Slitaz working on a G4 iBook

I would like to run on android with support for an arm. If you port it will just start.Posted 7 years ago # -

Maybe try a search engine :-) https://www.google.ch/search?q=slitaz+custom+livecd&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=dRbcWMjZJIOm8wez667YDg
Here the full documentation: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:genlivecd
To create your own SliTaz ISO flavor in a few step:
$ su
# mkdir /home/slitaz/5.0
# cd /home/slitaz/5.0
# tazlito get-flavor coreThis will give all needed files in /home/slitaz/5.0. The list of packages to include in the distro, the additonnal files you want to include in the ISO, etc. Open a file manager to checj the files, the receipt holds the name of your custom distro. When ready, you can build the iso
# tazlito gen-distro
If you are search to cross compile SliTaz for ARM platform: here is the doc with all our tools. But this process is more complex and need more knowledge. That said SliTaz is already ported to ARM and a new ARM maintainer would be very welcome, since I dont have time to update it actually. Here is the doc for cross (part of cookutils) and some note about cross compiling:
http://arm.slitaz.org/
http://arm.slitaz.org/tools.cgi?doc&tool=cross
http://doc.slitaz.org/en:cookbook:crossPS: second option - I use a chroot to build ISO's so my main system is protected if I mess about, for that you need tazdev from our repo. Build a chroot and then use cookiso (more automated than tazlito)
# tazdev gen-chroot
# tazdev -c
# cookiso setup
# cookiso gen --flavors=coreAll used files are in the chroot --> /home/slitaz
