the line just before the kernel panic said "out of memory"
This is message appears when you boot from the .iso file not with a full install, isn't it?
With only 256MB I'm quite sure you cannot run Slitaz (even SliTaz 4.0) from the .iso file. GRUB needs 54MB to load the .iso and this memory will NOT be freed after the boot; you can try a frugal install but with 256MB the best I got is to boot GTK only (rootfs4 + rootfs3 + rootfs2)... :(
About the loram ISO, I don't think it is possible to run it from its .iso file because after the boot, the system needs to access at the LiveCD but only GRUB knows the "CD" (loop), the kernel cannot access at it.
If I do a console install, does that mean no GUI desktop once installed?
No, this is just another way to do a full install.
I don't see a boot loader config in the doc you linked
Yes there is; see bootloader at the end of the SETTINGS section:
-
bootloader
Optional. Install a bootloader. Usually you should set it to auto unless you want to use an already installed bootloader on your system, install a bootloader by hand yourself or install a specific bootloader. In this case type tazinst help bootloader to list supported bootloaders.
$ tazinst help bootloader auto Automatic selection grub GRUB legacy bootloader syslinux Lightweight bootloader
If you want a dual boot with Windows (hmm, what Windows with 256MB?) you must define the WINBOOT variable too:
WINBOOT="auto"
But it seems to me that tazinst (as well as the installer in TazPanel) fails to create a dual boot.
