SLITAZ Boot floppies 4.0 load only Base system

Hi Friends,

i try to boot SLITAZ 4 from the boot floppys as "justx" version, but the boot proeces

donst ask me to load extra disks.

The system is booting after loading disk fd006, ask me for keyboard settings and prompt the login.

I found out that i an login with root and now???

I try help but no help found.

How can i install now SLITAZ from Internet or USB (i try the Floppy boot disk, but my network card is not deteted and USB1/2 stop without error at loading the bootsector from USB)?

Best regards Sepp

About floppies:

1- There were is bug in http://floppy.slitaz.org/index.html it(s fixed now. Thanks for the report.

   Anyway http://floppy.slitaz.org/index-4.0.html was ok. Please retry with http://floppy.slitaz.org/index-4.0.html

2- justx needs at least 96MB of RAM. Otherwise it will not ask for extra floppies and will boot base.

3- You floppy drive may be not supported by slitaz (base is load by the bios only).

   Try 'wc -c < /dev/fd0' to confirm.

Thanks Bellard,

ok, thats the problem.

The system have only 64MB RAM and Floppy is connected via PCMCIA but work.

@Kultex yes, Bavarian ;-)

i think, not enough RAM to boot the full ISO from USB.
