This forum is now a read-only archive

The SliTaz community has moved to Maille, a forum made for SliTaz.

We looked hard for a replacement for this aging forum, including a move from bbPress to FluxBB last June. But spam bots now get through sign-up even with mail confirmation, and these forum engines are barely maintained anymore. So we wrote a forum in the SliTaz spirit: small, fast, no JavaScript, works on old machines and in text browsers. Everything here stays readable.

RaspPi USB key boot compatibility

A wishlist of things for USB key boot.

I'm using USB keys to switch OS on the Rapsberry Pi.

In RAM system

Slitaz has the possibility of booting entirely in RAM. This would be very useful for a USB key boot since I want to be able to unplug it while the RaspPi is running.

However, I don't really know how Slitaz or other distribution does it (and don't know if the boot blob makes this more difficult or not). But the first (FAT32) partition doesn't need to be mounted on boot so I'm hopeful that this would be possible.

Installation

It'd be nice if we can pick the third partition during installation. This might just involve replacing all occurance of [c]/dev/mmcblk0p3[/c] with another device ([c]/dev/sda5[/c] in my case).
