The tux was eliminated and then commented on the lines of the boot file. Still, he appears on next boot, but no longer accepts any password, redirecting input again. Ideally the script to test the existence of new user name and replace the tux for him. Thanks

Hey, there, Christophe! I installed the latest slitaz on my Cedarview and got it working, no problem. I then downloaded the slitaz version of 915resolution and wrote a script to change the vesa resolution from 1066x768 to 1066x768 pretending to be 1366x768, and it works, especially after using lxappearance to change font boldness. So, all is beautiful, as it should be, under the vesa graphics driver. Oh, slight detail: You have to run 915resolution.sh after starting up, then exit and log in to a 16:9 vesa session. Now, if there were some obvious way to make 915resolution.sh run before the initial slim login, I guess I have to poke around in the /home and /root directories to find where that is....
Know what works even better on a Cedarview chipset? The MeeGo 'adaptation-pc' kernel and its modules. Interesting thing about the MeeGo kernel: It also runs on other Intel chipset computers (not AMD, it halts halfway up). So, if you don't own a Cedarview, you can test the kernel on your Sandybridge or whatever. You will find out that (a) the 'adaptation-pc' kernel doesn't play nice with /dev/root. Even MeeGo developers know that /dev/root is missing. And (b) so far, I haven't gotten it to work with slitaz.
So, if you test it on your sandybridge, and you get it to work, then it will most likely work on a Cedarview as well. Let me tell you in advance that the intel_drv.so will recognize the 'adaptation-pc' kernel as an intel framebuffer and procede to load the sandybridge intel driver stuff. On a Cedarview, if you get it to work with slitaz, you can get the xf86_fbdev graphics driver, and fbdev_drv.so will recognize the psbfb framebuffer as /dev/fb0, and you will get a very nice framebuffer 16:9 with a real, honest count of horizontal and vertical pixels, not the pretend version on the vesa_drv.so.

Postscript: I thought you might find it interesting to see slitaz in action on a Cedarview with vesa doing 16:9 instead of 4:3. Herewith a .png file.

OK, the .png file was not accepted. So, I am working from RIPLinuX to do this tricky stuff, and I really am using an 'adaptation-pc' kernel with the fbdev_drv.so that RIP has no problem with (mostly). And, what do you know, RIP has mtpaint and liberation fonts also. At any rate, I used mtpaint to give you a piece of the screen image, one showing clearly that the 16:9 aspect ratio is in effect, and that screen images somehow get a full 1366x768 pixels from vesa running in 1024x768 mode.

Where the original script I can put my name for it to be the standard input?

One more thing about the latest slitaz running on the Cedarview using 915resolution: If you install google-chrome, then xine, xine-plugin, which also brings in firefox and theora, then the PEACEKEEPER BENCHMARK running on slitaz gives a score of 879, which is absolutely the highest score yet recorded on Cedarview. AND, it shows the bouncing glass ball with the balls inside sequence, an almost unheard=of sight on Cedarview outside of MeeGo, which gives a peacekeeper score in the mid 700s.

I'm having trouble running my Virtualbox after its installation by the installation panel. Here attached the problems encountered.
Thanks for your attention.

My Dear,
Do not know if I'm posting in the right place. Sorry for the mistakes, but use Google translator to communicate in this forum, and it does not always hit what I mean.
I have two problems to solve. My name on the initial boot instead of the tux, and install the virtualbox.
Thanks for your attention

I would add that to solve these problems I will have my SliTaz as perfect and distribution. Lightweight, full for me, and divine.

After some updates Virtualbox was working perfectly. Problem solved. It remains only to put my name on the initial boot. Nobody in the world will have a complete system, with music, TV, multimedia operations, internet, office, networking, printing, etc ... with less than 1GB, high processing speed and 10 seconds to turn on and off.
Congratulations, thank
Arthur

I am still working on getting the 'adaptation-pc' kernel to co-exist with slitaz. It looks to me as if, when the 'adaptation-pc' kernel puts in its /dev/fb0 with the fancy stuff intended for fbdev_drv.so, it interferes with the gizmo in the slitaz startup scripts that makes the series of fake /dev/fb1 /dev/fb2, etc. nodes. And, it is really suspicious of any kernel that adds a /dev/dri node to the /dev/directory, although some fictitious "kernel module" could be assumed to have done this.
Why would inserting my own /dev/fb0 cause slitaz to crash?
Is there a way around this?

Update your ppp package to fix the connection issue. It's a known issue and updating the package should fix it.

hello everyone! 
Nice to meet them. My first post here 1st to congratulate the team that keeps the SliTaz, 2nd earnestly ask for your help. Had it installed on my machine, however, recently installed an ATI HD5550, which can not in any way, install the driver. Could someone help me with this problem? Already grateful for the attention.

let me remind the team that I'm ready to donate as soon I can process an european

Grub4Dos with 2 linux partitions?
First thank you for the nice installation improvement: it's perfect with a windows partition!
CD & USB installations are perfects too (unetbootin=> no way)! I'm testing everything on many different PCS...
I tried a lot of combinations to adapt the menu to launch an another Linux distribution (wattOS in sda5 for example): what the right trick?
Thanks a lot in advance!
