SliTaz doesn't install (partition already mounted?!)

Hey there, Iàm trying to install Slitaz Rolling 5, however, when I complete the setup of passwords, partitions etc, the install starts but then stops saying that the target partition is already mounted.

I tried to unmount it via cmd line but it didn't help. I really like how SliTaz runs on this old computer, but it's really difficult to get it to install once and for all. Any help?

Re: SliTaz doesn't install (partition already mounted?!)

I am having this problem too.  I think its a problem with the ISO, as I have Slitaz already installed and working on real hardware already, but can't even install current rolling in an VM due to that partition already mounted error.  I think this is 100% repeatable I think the installer is currently broken...

You might be able to update SliTaz after installing it to your hard drive. I updated my installation of SliTaz once after reinstalling SliTaz, when my installation medium wasn't up to date anymore. It took a while, but it was good I think.

It brought me an error when I put the ISO onto an USB stick to test it, but when I pressed enter, it brought me to a second menu, and it booted when I chose "SliTaz core" there so you might be able to install it from there.
