   Possible.

   You need to prepare your rootfs.gz with tazlito:

   1. su
   2. mount -o loop /path/to/slitaz.iso /media/cdrom
   3. tazlito writefs gzip
   4. copy rootfs.gz from / to /boot on your usb stick

   Voila! (not sure if this is correct spelling ;0)

   By the way: you can put all files you need for daily activities to /home directory and keep them within th rootfs.gz file permanently. I find it very useful.

   Thanx for the input, just to clearify i want to use a fat32 formated drive
   and im trying to get around the error executing command at login.

   Iknow i should use linux formated usb, however due to at it works good
   as slitaz downloaded iso made to work with Universal USB Installer
   it boot up great and works without the error, i should be able to
   do a command tazusb writefs gz and copy it over to the usb, right?

   So what i really want is adding software i want, removing some other software
   then tazusb the filesystem and get it to work as original slitaz live iso

   any ideas?
