   I think that Slitaz and Linux will go forward if a kind of "Hardware-ID" could be set
   for each problem.

   Imagine a system where the user connect to slitaz website which will send-return a scan diagnostic of hardware, then a kind of customed kernel/firmware Slitaz will be proposed to direct frugal/install on a plugged usb. Reboot and the user will have a form with checkbox to mention what works or not and a bug-report will auto-test in parallel to see

   Then Slitaz team will have automatic real huge database to track hardware bugs. At the end, Slitaz team will be able to know what works perferctly with specific computer eee's and/or wireless card's, sound ...

   I think that forums are not sufficiently formal to know if there's a real bug or not and there's so much redundancy

   Hello domcox + michaelbischof,

   Sorry to answer so late.

   I didn't forget to hook Enable Windows Dual-Boot.
   I've meat first the "problem" when I installed the rolling release (same computer, same partition /dev/hda5). Thats why I've checked TGT_WINBOOT in /var/lib/tazinst.conf before to click on [Proceed to Slitaz installation].
   I don't say it's a bug; I suppose if it was one, there were other posts reporting it.
   I've just thought to beginners. I guess if it happened 3 years ago, when I started with Linux and SliTaz, I'd have been in a "ceel panic" at boot thinking I've lost Windows and all my data...
   Lubuntu 10.04 with Grub and dual boot was installed on hda5 before I definitively choose SliTaz. Do you think it is possible there is a relation ?

   Hi, Slitaz 4.0 is great, I'd like to thank the team and all contributors. I stared using Slitaz 3.0 few months ago on an old PC, worked great, I just did fresh install of 4.0 on a separate partition and works great.
   I have a couple of issues on a newer netbook Acer Aspire 1810z:

   - Wireless Intel Intel Wireless-N 1000 "iwlagn" on this netbook doesn't work with Slitaz 3 or 4, it loads the drivers, I installed the firmware from the TazPanel Packages.

   - Second issued is the Synoptics touchpad acting weired, instead of moving the cursor on desktop it changes to desktop 2 and 1 that's all it does.

   Any suggestion is appreciated

   Thanks

   Congratulations, guys!

   //Just bought an Archos 101 G9 Turbo tablet (dualcore OMAP4460@1.5GHz, 1 Gig of ram and 16 gigs of flash drive, 1280x800 display), looking forward to porting SliTaz to it.

   I use Slitaz as a portable on usb stick. With all applications I need for day to day use it's 150-200MB.
   I find it a perfect system loaded totally to ram.

   So far everything works great on HP 6510b, except audio cds.
   It's ok when playing flash content or .wav files, but cd doesn't even start when I click "play CD" in AlsaPlayer.
   Do I need to install any additional packages, or it should work out of the box?

   Anyway, congratulations to the team!
   As I see it, nowadays, when most popular systems have a few gigs and occupy more and more cpu resources, you have chosen the right way to build something fresh and recognizable among the others.
   You have now strong base to expanded with new apps and functionalities. Continue good job, and good luck!

   @karthanon try [torrent] http://tinyurl.com/7tdkxyk slitaz-4.0-RC1.iso recent cooking iso.
   It's the only version 4 that boots on my old thing (v.3.0-xorg and xvesa boot ok) without turning off my display.

   Hello and my congratulations for Slitaz 4; it is excellent!
   On purpose I use Slitaz since the version 2 in all my Pc's; from a Pentium 100; an AMD K6; an Athlon & a Pentium Dual Core; as they will see I am a fan of Slitaz!!!

   A single thing:
   The link to download "packages-4.0.iso" it doesn't work...

   Greetings!

   PD:What is there about a flavor of Slitaz 4 / 64 bits ?

   Probably because the file for that link doesn't exist yet - not that you could use the packages iso like you think you can ;)

    I'd like to add my personal THANK YOU to each and every contributor to Slitaz. I have been using V3.0 since it was released and have found it to be the best distribution I have ever used (until V4.0). I'm now using V4.0 to go from boot to browser in 35-45 seconds (running "live" on wired systems) and I haven't encountered one problem. Slitaz V4.0 was worth waiting for!

    Hi!

    @ceel
    In fact, Tazinst doesn't detect 'c' type Win95 FAT32 partitions.
    Fixed: http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/rev/f1ba248d0b54

    Thank you for the bug report,
    dom

    1. Create Directory on Partition named 0A (In my case ,7)
    2. Download ISO
    3. extract files into directory
    4. Copy this to Grub4DOS file named menu.lst

    title SLITAZ (0A)
    find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /0A/0A
    root (hd0,7)
    kernel /0A/boot/bzImage
    kernel /0A/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=hd0,7
    initrd /0A/boot/rootfs4.gz /0A/boot/rootfs3.gz /0A/boot/rootfs2.gz /0A/boot/rootfs1.gz

    Outstanding!

    @tengzelius

    Is your post a response to my earlier question about installing the boot loader to a partition boot sector instead of the MBR?

    If so, how would I install the boot loader. I am not knowledgable about grub4dos.
