I love Slitaz!

I really love slitaz, and I'm using the cooking version.

However, there is one big problem with it. It doesn't install easy especially for nooberts like me:

Whenever I boot from usb and use the built in slitaz installer, it fails and says rootfs. error. Basically you have to mount the usb drive or something? <-- This is a big hurdle for nooberts.

Is there a fix for this?

And secondly, I love slitaz. These forums have helped me solve so many issues. Thanks Mojo!

Re: I love Slitaz!

Thanks for sharing the LOVE

slitaz installer was scripted for running slitaz off live cd mounted on /media/cdrom

You loop mount slitaz.iso to /media/cdrom to create virtual cd

Place a copy of the slitaz.iso on the / of tazusb drive

Mount the tazusb drive to /tmp after booting into slitaz

#mount /dev/sdxx /tmp

Loop mount slitaz.iso to /media/cdrom

#mount -o loop /tmp/slitaz.iso /media/cdrom

slitaz installer should work now.
