Tazinst Error

Tried to install Slitaz on hard drive but could not open tazinst.

The error message is:

TazPanel - Installer

Tazinst Error

tazinst, the lightweight SliTaz HDD installer is missing. Any installation can not be done without tazinst.

Check tazinst' permissions, or reinstall the slitaz-tools package:

# tazpkg get-install slitaz-tools --forced

Even after installing slitaz-tools i can not open tazinst.

I use slitaz-4.0 burned to a cd

Thanks in advance for any help

Re: Tazinst Error

Ok, it's fine for tazinst.

What is your locale setting?

and what is the output of:

[c]# grep[/c]

Re: Tazinst Error

I can't duplicate any of these problems booting into Slitaz-4.0 livecd.

Verify your SliTaz 4.0 burned cd:

Check media

59 files OK, 0 broken, 0 not checked.

@weldir

Open terminal,su,password: root

tazinst new install.config

leafpad install.config

Make your install configurations.

Save,quit

tazinst install install.config

@domcox

If user enters [c]tazinst new[/c] with no <file> name terminal outputs touch/Error 2 Can't write setup file.

Maybe it would be better if [c]tazinst new[/c] writes tazinst.conf in cwd?

Otherwise it should echo message to user "Please provide <file> name for install configuration" instead of error messages.

Re: Tazinst Error

I have the same locale/keyboard as this person (pt_BR/br-abnt2) and I'm having the exact same problem with the latest stable DVD (the packages one).

What can I do? The old ncurses installer worked in the past.

Re: Tazinst Error

Hi CamiloMM,

You have two choices:

1.) This bug has been fixed.

    Update your system with the latest tazpanel and slitaz-tools packages.

2.) Use tazinst in cli mode:

    run: [c]# tazinst new install.conf[/c]

    edit install.conf to suit your needs, this file is self-documented.

    run: [c]# tazinst install install.conf[/c]

    this command will install SliTaz on your system.
