sampaiosp, the GrUB4dOS tutorial at http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/grub4dos#TOC-References has links to documentation, development and bulletin board.
mojo (et al), does 4rc2 also include ati drivers? and a cheatcode/boot-parameter for fail-safe fallback to Xvesa?
(anybody tried netsurf at www.netsurf-browser.org ?)

@sampaiosp
If you have grub installed:
At the grub menu hit the c key.
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
hit enter
Should output the slitaz root partition.
hit Esc
Highlight the slitaz menu entry hit e
Add root from above and convert for root=/dev/sdaX or root=/dev/hdaX on the kernel line
hit enter,b to boot
These edits are temporary,write them down.
After you boot into slitaz edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make it permanent.

Maybe xorg-xf86-video-ati with depends will be added to a future release iso. I'm testing 4.0-RC2 on two computers with amd/ati graphics. A radeon r5450 on one and a biostar MB with an A780L3G chipset with integrated radeon HD3000 graphics on the other. No additional boot codes necessary,the radeon frame buffer transitions smoothly to the desktop.The 19" flatpanels boot to 1280x1024 with the vesa driver,installing xorg-xf86-video-ati and friends maxs out the resolution at 1440x900. What I'm missing is direct rendering to hardware on either ati or nvidia with any version of slitaz.
Netsurf was on some pre SliTaz 3.0 cooking iso's.

I tried the loram version, and that booted straight to a working desktop. Very impressive.
But the vanilla version ought to work, considering it's the first version offered on the front page. I did a 'fdisk -l' on the images, with some revealing points.
[c]tux@slitaz:~$ fdisk -l slitaz-4.0-RC2.iso

I checked the MD5 sums, no corruptions. Looks like a broken partition table is to blame.
@rexroom:
isohydrid has been run on loram and not on vanilla.
It's a tool to be able to see a cdrom image as an hard disk image.
It as nothing to do with your problem.
A new rolling (post RC2) as been built with misc fixes :
Can you test
http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/slitaz-core-4in1.iso and
http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/slitaz-core-4in1.loram.iso ?
Thanks.

,,(anybody tried netsurf at http://www.netsurf-browser.org ?)"
No. Looks interesting, but I will not compile it. Do you have arguments for it? What does it have that we do not have with tazweb or Midori?

@Bellard:
In that case it's probably best if you bring that fact about medias up front: With memory sticks becoming more cheaper and more versatile than your common CD burn, people will probably try with a smarter media. Not that I don't understand the need for CD burns: I have one laptop that doesn't run USB boots.
btw: Writing this on the new (plain) rolling release that I dd'd on a stick. From what I can gather quickly, it works like a charm. If only I had time for an indepth run... 
I just tested the RC2 of today. It was not possible to boot it from a frugal hdd-installation. From CD it worked. But it was not possible to get a working Xscreen, not even in case I booted ,,slitaz nomodeset". It was shown that the module nouveau was loaded, but no usable Xconfiguration was detected.
The error message complained that the Graphic driver Nvidia Geforce 7100 claimed that device but without unloading the module nouveau it could not work. So it seems not to have yet reached the goal. In case I did not do stupid detail mistakes, of course.

@Somewhat Reticent
you can try it - its available - http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/netsurf-2.6.tazpkg
we had it for some time in testing isos, but to much problems

@mojo
Thanks for the help
But before reading your answer had already managed to solve
Still good to know we can count on your support
And it was really what I did ...
I edited the "menu.lst" before loading the SliTaz because my HD had 3 partitions ...
2 and 1 ext4 NTFs
Like this:
# / Boot / grub / menu.lst: GRUB boot loader configuration.
default 0
timeout 8
splashimage = / boot / grub / splash.xpm.gz
title SliTaz GNU / Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz)
root (hd0, 2)
kernel / boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root = / dev/sda3 lang = en
# For booting Windows:
title Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
rootnoverify (hd0, 0)
chainloader +1

Humm. I tried the HD installation process from TazPanel, but it complains about missing mkfs-tools and does nothing.
Define settings for Prox Tazpkg
I have internet access for 2 servers prox
Each one has different restrictions;
Ex: webprox@dominio.br: 80
webprox2@dominio.br: 3128
I wonder, how can I set a prox for the system and one for Midori?
In Tazpanel-Packages can not get the mirror list or update without these adjustments.
I wait for help.

I installed netsurf on Gibors TinyX-RC2-version with ease. Tell me: what is the benefit of this browser? I could see one - and it is not possible to store bookmarks. Such a browser does not have any value - at least for me.
It is quick, yes, but tazweb is as quick. So what? Did I miss something?

Hi, I tried the latest rolling 4in1 iso and the nouveau driver no longer loads but I got a blank screen. So I killed Xorg from looking up the 'top' process number and run tazx and installed the nv driver and run /etc/init.d/slim start and got a full desktop. Then I run the tazhw box and noticed no nv driver loaded so I'm maybe running vesa? I checked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf and it shows: Driver "nv". So for some reason the nv driver isn't loading?
As a side note I installed the nvidia driver from tazhw box and edited: Driver "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf after killing Xorg again, restarted and now I've nvidia module loaded and Direct Rendering: Yes

Hi Christophe,
I run tazhw detect-pci after the blank screen to check for nv driver, but it wasn't there so I tried to force it using tazx. For some reason nv driver not loading on my box?

The trash does not appear. And the files are deleted directly. The folder /home/user/.local/Trash not exist.
It would be nice to have trash.
I wonder why when I start the wifi network, the cable network goes down?
Tanks!

@michaelbischof - Thanks for pointing me to tazweb (I'm new here). I met netsurf while trying out a newer version of GPartEdLive (what is it about newer versions that turns off my old [ati radeon xpress 200] display?) and found it useful for pages that just insist on a cookie or two (session, or the few I lock away). Tazweb is very nice! And slitaz does so much so efficiently! (maybe bookmarks should be kept in a text tree/table, not just by some browser tool?)

Computer is new Samsung 700Z5B. I'd very much like to make Slitaz my primary OS. RC-2 installed on disk straightaway for this niave user, with exception of wireless.
Wireless is Intel Centrino N 6230 rev 34. Neither RC-1 nor RC-2 have worked with this hardware. The requred modules (iwl... group) all seem to be there and loaded by modprobe, but the hardware is still not found. I have tried to work through the intel site info, including getting and copying iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode into the /lib/firmware directory. but that has not helped. I may have missed how to force the firmware to load.
Everything worked with Mint 12 as installed.
My old Netgear WG111v2 currently works as wlan0. That is my current connection.
Suggestions?

Slita-4.0-RC2 USB install
The OS is setup on usb exactly the way I wish with the latest changes applied. Appears more stable than Slitaz-3!
I could not edit speed dial in Midori Private browsing except through a circuitous route .I had to first launch Midori Browser twice. The second copy displays one speed dial panel that then can be edited successfully. Another blank speed dial appears for further additions. Subsequent launh of Midori Privat browsing nicely displays everything as as it should.
BTW I tried pankso's suggestion to edit /etc/rc5.conf on the HD installed Slitaz-3 to enable FAST_BOOT_X =yes. All I got for my pains was a granular grey page !
This is one of the most fun OSes I have tinkered with.
Thank you.

I installed slitaz 4.0 RC2 in virtualbox, with no problem but when reboot:
After select Slitaz in GRUB,
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x25ce50]
ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 1
ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 12
ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 7
Processing /etc/init.d.....but I didn't see nothin' strange with the system.
When I tried to install cairo-dev, I get:
WARNING Dependency loop between cairo-dev and glib-dev.
but the system installed the package normally.
Everything works fine.
Thank you "Spider Team".

Hey.
The bottom bar where applications disappeared.
I read that you had to put at the top bar, a separator but in doing so restart and did not reappear (do I have to manually set the bar now?)
On the other hand, if I click the right mouse button and choose "run application" top bar disappears (though it reappears restart).

I have an HP Vectra VL420 DT with a Pentium 4 CPU (1.6 GHz), 512MB of PC100 RAM, and an NVidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB video card. SliTaz 4.0 RC gets to the desktop with a black screen. The running ISO, the 4in1 version, boots to X with everything working (sound, ethernet, etc). Any feedback you'd like regarding a system like mine, just ask. Nice job on 4.0 so far, and looking forward to the final or next incremental release.
I have 4.0RC2 live on a USB drive and while it works it doesn't load entirely into RAM......if u unplug the USB it will fail.....with a liveCD it continues to function completely in RAM.
Wireless details need to be entered manually on each boot up and can't be saved using 'writeif' most other things appear to be saved.......BTW, 4.0RC1 did load wireless details automatically on my eeePC701SDX, RTL8187sle.
Slitaz Panel doesn't do 'Live' CD/USBs .......process collapses part way thru.

Despite being absolutely useless for bug tracking, I just want to say that my HD install of 4 (cooking upgraded) on my PIII 375mb RAM - ATI radeon R100 is working like a charm, speed and elegance included.
Thanks to all dev and community for making this happen.
Offline
Can not install/upgrade 4.0RC2 using LiveCD due tazpanel unable to mount cdrom and/or locate main partition to use.
Tazpanel will attempt to install 4.0RC2 only if web cooking is selected, but will fail at grub.
Hardware used PII 350Mhz 384MB ram.

Tibi
