I have a few packages like Thunderbird and xset which constantly disappear after reboot so I have to reinstall them again. I have found a post on making xset settings permanent but don't really get it. Many thanks for any idea. This is my first post, thanks.

offlineCoder-hobbyistWhat about other packages you installed? Does them disappear too?
Seems like you have not "full hard disk installation". Or I not right?
Do you install SliTaz? Or do you run LiveCD?
If you install SliTaz in "frugal" or "LiveUSB" mode then you need to repack initrd -- file that contain whole SliTaz's filesystem. You can do it by 'tazusb writefs gzip' from terminal or from desktop-right-click menu.
Second method for LiveUSB is to put your packages to '/home/boot/packages'. Just install what you need, open '/var/cache/tazpkg/4.0/packages' folder and copy all packages to '/home/boot/packages'.

offlineMemberThanks, I had indeed tried to boot from usb once and prepared a stick for this. As I wasn t sure if that worked I finally installed from liveCD. Somehow the software had made it to the motherboard as it functioned without CD but it looked like it didn t really work the way it should, still offering me to install on hard disk, pretty weird. Any idea? I took a liveCD which was Xubuntu but after inserting I was asked for the BIOS password last night, surprisingly, for the first time ever since I deactivated this after purchase 5 years ago and can t remember it. As no chance seems there to get the machine running I'm now offline til my new computer is delivered.. I will stick to slitaz but may install an alternative as well. I will check then what you proposed, many thanks, again.
