I have installed legacy grub on USB and managed to boot slitaz by pointing kernel and initrd to appropriate files just the way cd does.
I want to select US keyboard , english language at startup , also 1024x768x16 resolution .
What should be kernel parameters

that worked fine.
After I install other apps I use like vim , flash , opera ,mplayer etc.
How can I have them on successive reboots . I do no want to install on hard disk . Currently I have installed grub on my USB stick and extracted iso on it , then added kernel initrd options like CD does?

you can use tazusb tools to save your work and installed apps. Read the manual here :

You may also create a new live-cd or just the rootfs.gz by using
# tazlito writeiso gzip [or lzma]

as user root/sudo

You should umount HD partitions beforehand, or they'll be packed, too.

Be advised, that tazlito doesn't pack /run/udev (yet ?!), which may lead to uncritical udev error messages.
