Re: next : installation impossible..

hi aledie;

thank you for the reply

>-10 partitions!? Cool!

i have no choice :

three for windows 7 (the boot one, the C and the D)

one logicial, then three for taz5: /, home and swap

then now next and slitaz5 again. beautiful

>-By the way NEXT means comes next, I guess Aleksej is one guy working on it(his private side project) and it is work in progress, means Alfa, not even beta..

i know:

i'm just here to test and to scream when there are problems, explain what i did, 'm doing and did when it's working again.

>"SliTaz Next ISO at the very early stage..."

enough far to be the only one slitaz to support resolution of a netbook which older slitaz releases doesnt support.

that's sad,but i didnt decided it.

>- if there is no Thunderbird or VLC you can always download a .Deb or .rpm ... and convert it tazpkg convert ... Or help Aleksej to compile, so we all be happy and switch to next...

gonna see for tazpkg convert this night. Finishing late work meanwhile.

the problem of slitaz is that it's going to be known for most and most users, and they dont have enough devs and time on it..... almost like mandriva.

Re: next : installation impossible..

You may try Porteus 4.0 rc4 (2-3x larger than slitaz but fast at boot to ram too, has all the newest software from slack repos you wish for, choice of lxqt, xfce, mate, lxde... Is). Worked on my pcs without a glitch even WiFi and graphics. Austrumi is another one nice and polished portable live distro. Dpup or LxPup gives you all the Debian or Ubuntu base, while small and portable. Antix and MX-17 as well if you don't need portable, want midweight and simple. I only picked slitaz as for it's size, speed and intent to use on a USB. You seem to make a full install on a HD, what is the point? You can have VLC and Thunderbird with Linux Mint, I run it as my main os on a 8 year old notebook, with LXDE, without compositing fast enough and recognizes every hardware. By the way, I have 11 years old Dell 700m running Antix, Pentium M, faster than windows 10 on new HP. Anyway,...

Re: next : installation impossible..

maybe cause win10 is heavy?
