Hi everyone, i love SliTaz, but i think we need more people to make it's better. Maybe showing SliTaz power, more people could get interest in this good distro.
So, what's the best thing you've done whit SliTaz?

Well, I used SliTaz as a daily driver on my desktop and laptop for some time.
And it also powered my NAS/torrent box/mpd server with http streaming and self-made web page for control.Posted 1 year ago # -
It works on my Ryzen PC.

Slitaz was my gateway to learning linux, haven't paused a single day!

Hi,
I wrote a book in A5 with font Computer Modern Sans Serif in German with SliTaz using gummi-0.6.1.
I used gummi with LaTeX from texlive2008-20080822.iso (2.4 GB). It is now many years ago.
tazpkg -gi get-texlive is still executable, but unfortunately get-texlive does not work anymore.
It would be nice, if it could be repaired, because texlive 2008 works well with SliTaz 4.0 / 5.0.Here is a working exsample of a LaTeX book buch-a5.tex in A5 with Computer Modern Sans Serif font:

\begin{minipage}{.3\linewidth}
$7^3 = 343$
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
$(a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2$ \\ $(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2$
\end{minipage}Hier finden Sie ein Beispiel für eine Formel mit großen Klammern.
\begin{eqnarray}
\left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^3 = \frac{a^3}{b^3} \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}\end{document}
--------------------------
The files from texlive 2008 really needed for this book could be packed in a tazpkg < 10 MB.

Inside we have
get-texlive-2008.tazpkg (provide get-texlive updated)
texlive-20080903.tazpkg (texlive minimal version)You need export in your PATH /usr/local/texlive/20080903/bin/i386-linux/
Not sure how it's work i try to use pdftex, but i have warn about
! Undefined control sequence.
Let's you check if work as expected :)Posted 1 year ago # -
Hi Stanislas,
get-texlive-2008.tazpkg from Your space cannot verify the certificate from Utah.
texlive-20080903.tazpkg from Your space does not work for me. gummi says the compiler is missing.Here is a link to my minimal version of texlive-2008 based on texlive2008-20080822.iso.
Downloadlink: https://www.file-upload.net/download-15266046/latex-2008b.tazpkg.html
Be carefull using file-upload.net. Use a system in RAM, because file-upload.net makes a lot of spam.

Hi kubepc,
for issue about certificate, rolling don't have
cacerts
by default.
In case workaround could be to use ftp:// also for get archiveI check archlinux package, they have texlive-basic and texlive-bin.
pdflatex provide by texlive-bin.Need to check for how to install pdflatex with install-tl

Hi Stanislas,
texlive-20080903.tazpkg from Your space of today works, but you will have to open a new X session. gummi and texlive compile simple TeX-files, but not my sample of a book needing more TeX-packages.
(My latex-2008b does not need the start of a new X session and it compiles my exsample of a book.)After installing get-texlive-2008.tazpkg from Your space of today and executing get-texlive it shows no errors, but the folder usr/local/texlive is empty and therefore gummi has no compiler.

Hi kubepc,
On my side i define path on terminal and run gummi after.
Infact to have /usr/local/texlive in path, logout/login is necessary but you can use :
source /etc/profile
to have right path.I retry test on rolling iso in vm :
su -
tazpkg -gi gummi
wget http://people.slitaz.org/~shann/texlive/get-texlive-2008.tazpkg
tazpkg -i get-texlive-2008.tazpkg
get-texlive
# validate to install packageIn user shell
source /etc/profile
gummicompiler see and work.
Now need to check what miss libs you need for your doc.
Posted 1 year ago # -
It's ok on my side.
Seem you need this libs
xcolor
andtitlesec
Could be installed with :su -c "tlmgr install xcolor"
su -c "tlmgr install titlesec"Posted 1 year ago # -
Hi Stanislas,
I would like to describe, how texlive-2008 is now working using SliTaz rolling core64:0. I installed gummi-0.6.1 in X Term Terminal as super user (su) by: tazpkg -gi gummi
1. I saved texlive-20080903.tazpkg from https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/texlive-2008/
2. I install texlive-20080903.tazpkg by double clicking and installing as root with root
3. I logged out and logged in again
4. I tested gummi and gummi when starting is now compiling the default.tex
5. I installed in X Term as super user the missing TeX-package with the TeXLiveManager
tlmgr install xcolor
tlmgr install titlesec
6. Now gummi and texlive are compiling my sample book.Posted 1 year ago #
