   I tried logging in from my LiveCD as "tux" and got this message:

   "Quit...
   /usr/bin/startx: exec: line 11: /home/tux/ .xsession: not found"

   What does this mean and how do I fix whatever problem it is so I can log in as "tux"?

   The error is after logging in at console and running startx ?
   tux@slitaz:~$ startx
   Verify the slitaz iso with md5sum ,if OK the cdr burn is likely defective.
   login at console as root, password:root
   #/etc/init.d/slim start
   If xorg starts you will see the slim login screen
   try login as tux.

   thanx. i checked md5 with Furius ISO Mount and it was the same. i used a used rewritable CD. could that be the problem? should i have used a brand new CD? i'll try your advice and see what happens. thanx again. (ps. am i using the appropriate tags for this post?)

   Check the md5sum of the burned slitaz LiveCD matches the md5sum of the slitaz iso.
   Same procedure on all linux distros.
   Find the optical drive,install isoinfo,
   Optical drive as reported by wodim=>dd the exact image size as reported by isoinfo=>md5sum
   How to md5sum burned disk on SliTaz
   #tazpkg get-install cdrkit-isoinfo
   Determine optical drive device name
   #wodim -checkdrive
   My drive returns:
   Detected CD-R drive: /dev/sr0
   Insert cd/dvd disk to get md5sum in detected cd-r drive
   #isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0
   This is the isoinfo output to use:
   Logical block size is: 2048
   Volume size is: 357796
   The iso image size burned on the cdr in my drive is 699MB, more data = greater Volume count
   #dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=357796 conv=notrunc,noerror | md5sum
   The generated md5sum must match the md5sum of the iso.
   dd has no progress bar, slitaz livecd is small,it doesn't take long.
   For checking full cdr/dvd pipe pv between dd and md5sum to show a progress bar,transfer rate,etc.
   IMO cdrw are less reliable than cdr,burn optical media as slow as possible.

   Furius ISO mount checksums the image file(ISO,IMG,BIN,MDF,NRG),not the burned disk(CDR,CDRW,DVDR).
