   Hello everybody,

   I have downloaded the slitaz-next-180716.iso and tried to boot it, unsuccessfully.
   I tried to boot the USB from the BIOS and, when that didn't work, I tried from grub menu with:
   >c
   >ls (to see the USB)
   >set --root=(fd0)
   >chainloader +1
   and always get the same error: invalid signature.

   Is there some other way to boot the image?

   Hi sofia-m

   Try to use the tip (green box) in http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:frugal#iso-image-install

   With GRUB4DOS replace (hd1) with (hd32)

   Hello Ceel,

   I'tried that but didn't work.
   I was able to install Next on the HD booting from SliTaz rolling live CD, copying the Next .iso to /home/tux and then making the installer use that image.
   Booted fine into openbox, then pretty much froze, LOL.

   Hello Kultex,

   are there any indications as to when a workable beta version will be available for testing?

   Hello sofia-m

   Maybe I didn't understand correctly your first post. I thought you wanted to boot Next from the .iso file.

   I agree with kultex. Next is not fully useable but you should be able to install it and boot it.
   I didn't meet any troubles to install the 170903 ISO (it's the case with the 180716 ISO you used :/ ).
   Problems will come when you'll update it. Better you block some packages (see http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/my-struggles-with-next-/page/2#post-46807 and http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/blender-on-slitaz-next/page/2#post-46973 ): simply add
   libfm-gtk
libfm-extra
libfm
xorg-server
pcmanfm
   in /var/lib/tazpkg/blocked-packages.list before.

   On my computer, I had to add nomodeset in the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst too.

   Hi Ceel,

   You understood perfectly, I wanted to boot from the .iso in the first place.
   When I couldn't, since trying Next installed was my real purpose and patience is not my strong suit, I found a way LOL.
   It installed just fine, and booted into openbox (I assume) fine, then frozen.
   I haven't really pocked about yet.
   Now I'll check your suggestions and give it a try again.
