   Hi,
   I booted Slitaz 5 from a LiveCD with nomodeset, no problem. Now I want to install it to the harddrive, no frugal install, but it stops with an error message:

   Error - Check your settings

   Nothing else.
   What can I do to find the reason?

   Error - Check your settings

   You enter a wrong information in TazPanel; paste a screenshot of the page.

   I do not know. Finalyl it worked but could not boot. Grub stage2 was corrupted. So I repaired this with an intact file stage2 from Slitaz 4 and now it is ok. Pleae delete this whole thread as there is nothing to learn left! ;-)

   Hi Ceel, I have tried Slitaz 5.0 Rolling release with a USB Stick. Too much satisfied about this OS speed and performance but I am not so technical. My problem is that I have no proper knowledge about Disk Partitioning and Disk Management. And this is the main problem, that is why I am feared to install this great OS on my pc's Hard Disk for my lack of disk partition knowledge. I am just a general user of a computer and the Internet things. So my question is that, is there any way to Automatic Disk Partition Feature/Automatic Installation Procedure when I want to install Slitaz 5.0 Rolling release to my computer Hard Disk?

   Hi Gopal2018,

   Sorry, but the SliTaz's installer cannot partition automatically your hard disk :(

   The first thing to do before partitioning: save all your data!.
   Then defragment your hard disk; it's not essential but it's better. I suppose you have Windows already installed. You should find in Programs > Accessories (or something like that, sory I can't have Windows in english) a defragmentation tool; launch it. This operation can take a long time depending of the size and the occupied space of your disk, the speed of your processor and quantity of RAM.

   It is always better to resize the disk from the installed OS; what is your Windows version?
   And by the way, how many RAM has your computer?

    Yes you are right. Over the years, users have to get stupid (frankly NOT my mention but an irony). Smart users are no longer in a trend.

    Many features are removed from browsers. From the operating system interfaces many features are removed too (hello, G.N.O.M.E.!)

    Making users dumb and making the operating system for dumb users. It's in the trend. Viva!

    But we are going the other way.
    Dumb users simply will not be able to understand SliTaz and will not use it :-D

    ==> So they're know the basics incl. disk partitioning.

    Or another choice to be happy using "another OS".

    Hmm... its not about dumbness anymore ... using ZX Spectrum or similar as a kid was a different era;)

    A 8-year old learning Python on a shiny new notebook, cannot call dumb, so I installed Ubuntu to simplify the learning... Installed an IDE called Thonny which is easy for a kid to use...
    The kid downloaded and installed the same under Windows saying "come on it is so uncool, if I tell at school I use 'Yubantoo', I will loose my reputation... besides there is no Roblox, or whatever ... under 'Yubantoo' and Minecraft sucks"

    Aleksej can explain the similarity of the above 'Y' spellingg to an uncool Russian word

    :-)

    Yes, "U" pronounced as "Yu". But I not found something "uncool" in this pronunciation. The matter of taste.

    And thank you, I recall my ZX Spectrum compatible box, and Z80 Assembler. That was really cool!
    Ubuntu is about something other...

    @ Gopal2018,

    But I cannot go through Package Manager after Autenticate.

    do you use the packages manager through TazPanel or from the terminal?

    With TazPanel you have to login as root, not with your user name.

    From the terminal, after login as root, type tazpkg recharge; same answer?
    If it works then type tazpkg up to update your fresh intallation and then try type tazpkg -gi firefox.
