   Update> thank you mojo, now tazndis works with gui and loads drivers. unfortunately, i didn't have much luck in putting wlan0 to work...with ipw2200 the network card is recognized but doesn't come up automatically and anyway when woken up it doesn't find any network. similar thing with inprocomm network card, it doesn't work in any case. it was worth the trial anyway!

   I'm a newbie on Slitaz, but I think this tip could help you (it helped me):

   3 & 5 - open X terminal and try #alsactl init . The sound should work now, even the volume keys.

   The ipw2200 linux driver requires firmware which is not on the slitaz live cd.
   wget http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg
# tazpkg install ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg
# modprobe -r ipw2200 ; modprobe ipw2200

   inprocomm has no linux driver, if ndiswrapper with neti2220.inf winxp driver doesn't work with it your out of luck :^(

   I've already tried that, it didn't work. Maybe the hardware switch is not working.

   Also, I've abandoned the inprocom and tried the same thing with BCM4306 REV 03, which uses firmware b43 (discovered in one of your answers in this forum). Downloaded the firmware, installed, modprobe and it finds networks; i select mine, insert password, it says "connected" but looks like it doesn't get ip address; i think i'll open a specific thread for this.

   I arrive after the battle; not much more to add to what others have said

   On Acer TravelMate 632XV, message when booting from a live or a frugal install:
.../
Detecting PCI devices Kernel modules...
! Missing module : agpgart_ali
> Module in use : snd_ali5451
* Builtin module : 8139too
* Builtin module : ohci_hcd
* Builtin module : pata_ali
! Missing module : yenta_cardbus
* Builtin module : ohci_hcd
> Module in use : nouveau
Detecting USB devices Kernel modules...
Triggering udev events: --action=add
/...
   but all seem working fine. Messages never appear when booting from full install.

   Always unable to compile the kernel:
...
CC init/calibrate.o
LD init/built-in.o
HOSTCC usr/gen_init_cpio
/usr/src/linux-3.2.53/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open 'initrd.cpio'
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.lzma] Error 1
make: *** [usr] Error 2
   after a few seconds.

   Same problem that meat in RC1: full install on SD card doesn't want to boot (see http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/slitaz-50rc1/page/4?bb_attachments=29821&bbat=1476 ). Same that necrophcodr reported in http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/slitaz-50-rc2/page/2#post-30281 .
   As Live works fine with the SD card, I've done the following test:
   - boot from frugal and lsmod then
   - boot from LiveSD and lsmod
   - compare the 2 lists => there is a loaded module more (ch7006) when booting from LiveSD.
   A search on internet didn't give me any relationship between ch7006 and SD cards; just out of curiosity, I would have tried to recompile the kernel with ch7006 but ...
   @necrophcodr
   does a frugal install or a Live work from your SD card too?

   Does anyone have an alternative mirror for rc2?

   Hello.
   Where is stored autostart script in RC2?
   I used to use it in slitas 4 "desktop context menu>Openbox>autostart script"
   But now it opens an empty file
   Or there is another easy way how to run programms and commands on startup automatically?

    5.0 uses lxsession to autostart.
    A .desktop file to execute the program/command is put in ~/.config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart
    The autostart immediately appears in Applications/Preferences/Desktop Session Settings where you can disable/enable autostart with checkbox.
    Example:
    I want alsaplayer to autostart when I login to tux account.
    tux@slitaz:~$ mkdir .config/autostart
tux@slitaz:~$ cp /usr/share/applications/alsaplayer.desktop .config/autostart
    Logout/in to tux and alsaplayer autostarts.
    Open an existing .desktop file with text editor to customize it to your needs if no .desktop file is available.

    Hi all!

    I have a suggestion to Slitaz team: add a function to make Slitaz 5.0 recognize keyboard shortcut keys automatically, such as:
    - the sound control shortcut keys (volume up, mute, play, stop...);
    - the internet navigation keys (refresh, back, home...).

    It would increase the users experience. I use them a lot, and I think many others too.

    It's just a suggestion to the next RC or stable version, not a problem to be solved on Slitaz.

    See you later!

    PS: sorry for any English mistakes.

    When booted rootfs.gz made with tazlito writeiso lzma I get kernel panic. Do you need any more details for investigation?

    xbindkeys? But I dont know if it has all the needed shortcuts in default config.
