Hello,
Congratulations for SliTaz.
May be I missed something by reading this:
"SliTaz 5.0 RC-2 / The RC2 supports a new installation method.
SliTaz can be installed into a single directory without partitioning any hard disk".
Is this documented somewhere ?
Thanks.

Ok, Yves04 this is what I have in the file /etc/fstab after I installed version 5.0rc2 to my only partition on /dev/sda:
# /etc/fstab: Information about static filesystems.
#
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=0620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660 user,ro,noauto 0 0
#/dev/sda3 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
#/dev/hdb1 /mnt/data btrfs defaults 0 2
#datasvr:/nfs/home /home nfs tcp,nolock 0 0
Never seen this file before but I imagine that it should be entries by default for devises like /etc/sda1, /dev/sda2 and the swap. Probably commented with the # sign at the beginning of the lines
and and when you do the installation they are uncommented or the installation added when the system boot for the first time from disk. ( Or something like that. Know Linux but not that much)). But if we don't have the documentation about how to created a swap partition we are a little bit lost. Most Linux distros created a swap partition by default for you or ask you about it. I will install again and create 2 partition; /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 with extension 2. The reason why ext2 is because when I used ext4 I always got an error message at boot time; "can recognize. .... something about ext4. The display ran too fast and I can hold it to see it. But it didn't look confident. Maybe there is something with that too.
Don't feel bad about your English, Mine is not that good either. My first "interpretation" about your solution was to run from the ROOT PROMPT #; mkswap /dev/sda1 and then swapon. The system when "kaput". Don't worry, I'm becoming an expert installing Slitaz 5.0-rc2 many times.

Hi compostela
Just to see, this morning I'v installed Slitaz-5.0-RC2 again on my hard disk like this :
boot from the CD live
menu --> Slitaz installer
Select source :
live CD
Select destination : in my case
install Slitaz to /dev/sda5
formatting ext3
Options : in my case
separate for /home /dev/sda6
formatting ext3
No change for Hostname Root passwd, User
Bootloader : in my case (I have already a bootloader)
install a boot loader empty
enable dualboot empty
The installation is very quick, even on an old PC. After reboot on this new Slitaz, if I type leafpad /etc/fstab I get :
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=0620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660 user,ro,noauto 0 0
UUID=dfb44d43-9e80-4ee1-95e7-c2889fa1709f /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
Don't forget formatting.
So far all is ok, the others issues will come later.
NB with gparted it's easy to do nothing else that seeing the partitions without formatting them.
I hope you'll soon get a new Slitaz 5.0-RC2 on your disk.
Bye

Ok, at www.slitaz.org/en under NEWS there is a download option for slitaz 5.0-rc2.iso. I just discover that the file is a Dos/Window executable. If I want to download the latest version for linux to install it on the hard disk which file do I have to download and where it is? I would appreciate your help. Thanks

5.0-rc2:
http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/5.0/
latest:
http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/

@compostela
That file IS the correct file. You can easily download it, and use that. However, if you want to install the system, you will have to follow the instructions for doing so.
Typically, this is done by burning the ISO to a CDROM, or writing it to a USB with something like http://www.isotousb.com/

Thanks necrophcord. I was using that file and the 5.0 rc1 and because I was having problem with the partitions, I thought that that could be the case.
Offline
well, finally I made it. Actually my fault. I'm not very familiar with gparted. Everything working fine and I have the swap space.
The only thing that remaing unsolve is the letter ñ in spanish keyboard. Even "tazx keyboard", doesn't fixed it. The problem is with the xterm and vi. The funny thing is that it fix the problem when running slitaz from the live CD rc1 On version rc-1 a menu comes out and download you a driver but that option is not in 5.0.rc2. Is it a way to download the ATI driver at this stage?
I suppose I have to download many things. Right now I don't have sound. I can't hear youtube. I download the Flash plugin but still no hearing anything. What else do I need to download?
Love Slitaz. It's a great Linux distro. After trying a lot of them this time I think I will stay here, Its the only system I have installed in the disk right now. I'll be continue using Slitaz 5.0 rc-2 after summer vacation.
Congratulations!

@compostela @Genesis
For sound issue, try "# alsactl init" on a terminal. It should activate sound control.
Have a nice day!
Offline
Thanks Sidini. I got sound now.

Folks, I'm usually using a much heavier version of Linux, based on Debian. Downloaded SlitAz last weekend and worked with it a bit during the week. It's like going from steel-toe work boots to sneakers insofar as the feel is concerned. I suspect I'll be using this one a lot more in days to come.

You are welcome! Enjoy Slitaz!

5.0-rc2 displays a ? instead of non-ascii characters with locale set to posix on full or frugal install.
Set the locale to valid country_region:
[c]tazlocale[/c]
or
[c]tazbox locale[/c]
or
Applications/Preferences/System language
Logout/in or reboot

On virtualbox, 'HD install' from cd/iso initially failed. vbox gave iso device /dev/sr1 but installer wanted /dev/sr0.
Fix was to do:
su
mv /dev/sr1 /dev/sr1_
cp -s /dev/sr1 /dev/sr0
Then it worked.
Perhaps installer should poll through srN's?
Note: in retrospect, maybe I should have done:
tazpkg upgrade
before the HD install but didn't, thinking, 'why? it's just gonn use what's on the iso...' so if this issue has been resolved, disregard.
---
After install, couldn't get audio working, but didn't try all that hard. Note: haven't yet tried Guest Additions.
Will try above suggestion of "# alsactl init" next weekend, but I did open the alsactl mixer...shouldn't that do the same?
Anyone know the trick?

Thanks Mojo. Applications/Preferences/System Language solved it in rc2.

Thanks, Sidini! Now sound is working here.

Hi, just installed it in a virtualbox and installed guest additions. You can download it here (import the ova)

@Genesis: You're welcome guy!
@ultrarad: I don't know why the "# alsactl init" trick works, because other user teached it to me (I don't remember his nick). All I do is to teach that trick to anyone that needs it.

I have installed Slitaz5 RC2 on my old PC over an ext2 partition.
All went ok, but at every reboot my filesystem is checked due not properly umounted at last poweroff.
Any suggestion why ?

See this commit: http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-boot-scripts/rev/3c9cfc3876d4
I had to switch it back after an update because it started dirty shutdown again.
http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-boot-scripts/rev/7d4703882980
When I switched it back it stopped.
The problem is caused by pcmanfm managing the desktop.
Applications/Preferences/Desktop Session Settings
Uncheck PcmanFM Desktop Manager
Reboot 2 times
Clean shutdowns but automount of flash drives won't work and no other drives installed in computer are visible in pcmanfm.

>I had to switch it back after an update because it started dirty shutdown again.
Maybe force-sync all caches before unmount?
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && umount?
Offline
I have removed PCManFM from Desktop Session Settings, rebooted several times, but I still get root fs checked every time, while second hdd is passing this OK...
Checking filesystem: /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
/dev/sda1: 77598/2444624 files (6.9% non-contiguous), 1295898/9770662 blocks
Checking filesystem: /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: clean, 4088/4890624 files, 3132980/19537678 blocks
Any suggestion would be appreciated. I'm tired to run e2fsck.

First: I love this distro!
After a wasted day of trying to properly get the competition to working (tiny core linux), it feels so effortless, neat and aestheticly on the pleasing side from the very start.
SlicKa! SweaTa! SliTaz!
small issues I had with going wireless:
1. my WPA-Password contains a "$"-sign. Using double quotes in the network.sh cuts the PW from that point. Manually edited => single quotes work
2.The eapol_version setting for wpa_supplicant had to be set to 1 via manipulating the wpa_empty for wifi to work. Maybe there could be an option in the settings GUI for old routers?
Thanks for this great OS
