   I have been trying to install the current rolling iso to an SD card attached to a SD card reader thru USB.
   I installed tazinst 3.94 and tazinst-gui 3.94.
   I partitioned a 2GB SD card using only 2 partitions to ext3 and linux swap in gparted.
   When I make my selections in the installer, I leave everything default except I select my ISO as sourse and destination as sdc1.
   I also try to select "install bootloader". I get an error everytime I try to install the bootloader.
   "Install a bootloader.* Error: No disk selected, cannot install any bootloader. "
   How do I select the disk? I have sdc1 selected to install slitaz to.

   And the output of:
   # ls /sys/block

   Thank you for your help.

   root@slitaz:/home/tux# ls /sys/block
   loop0 loop2 loop4 loop6 ram0 ram10 ram12 ram14 ram2 ram4 ram6 ram8 sda sdc
   loop1 loop3 loop5 loop7 ram1 ram11 ram13 ram15 ram3 ram5 ram7 ram9 sdb

   There are 2 things I've noticed.

   1. In the above command "sdc" only appeared after I plugged in my SD card and tried the installer again. I issued ls /sys/block before I plugged in my SD card and "sdc" was not shown.

   2. In the above post where I issued the command "tazinst list", I noticed that dev/sdc1 shows 2 different UUIDs in the line after *usb:
