I used wired ethernet. Does your eeepc have ethernet?
no ,
screen=text is a good thing , i had control . But impossible to download anything whether whith a tazpkg or a tazx Xorg configure. >
Quit...
root@slitaz:~# startx
root..xsession: .:line 3: can't open'/root/.config.slitaz/applications.conf
root@slitaz:~# slim
A screen with "Failed to execute login command"
.. But after doing sames command (tazx,startx,slim) randomly , i manage to login !
then I quickly check this
root@slitaz:~# lsmod -l

@moulefrite What is this tazhw output ??? Last cooking unmodified ??? These modules are all preinstalled and should be loaded!!! At least it's the case on my machine with same modules. If you load a module manually or search for it:
# modprobe -l | grep ath5k
# modprobe -v ath5k
"I've always said that a basic xvesa flavor could be the the most compatible way for the first step"
Yes for sure but Xvesa is no longer in Xorg source and not maintained. I'm actually testing new ISO build with different setting and build option for Xorg as soone I get result I publish a new ISO for all people who get X drivers problem (too many that said, sorry for that).
On the TinyX server side, we may be able to use Xfbdev, wich is a TinyX server using the Linux frambuffer and always mainatined. The only show stoper actually is the fact users must know the correct VGA and use vga= to enable Kernel framebuffer.
@bb I guess Wicd dont work since they is a bug in Python package wich miss SSL support and I'm bit stuck on that one since Openssl is well installed when buiding the packages, we also can't use Hg to clone https repos :-(

bof
this time I didn't even succeed to login .. but I do # modprobe -l | grep ath5k and
# modprobe -l | grep atl1e
But cannot tazpgg or tazx reconfigure anyway
Pansko, you should develop some tracker, auto-executed at boot with grub config= (with cooking version) which will make a hardware report and the different issues and recorded automatically in a file on hd and that one can send to you. I think that could be far more usefull than let noobies trying to interpret why their screen is black.
Atchoum!
@moulefrite:
I don't understand. How could you execute commands without logging in? single user mode?
@pansko: I see, probably a python ssl lib missing or something. I'll take a look. Will try manual wireless config a some point, it is just so tedious and no fun.
@all the one that got blank screen and Xorg problem. This last cooking is the first slitaz that have minimal DRI support and might be wrong choice. I did that to satisfy Xorg dependencies (by default it dont build without libdri) but was prepared to get bad feedback, so I did a light version of Xorg by disabling all DRI and GL support. And here is the ISO without any bloted stuff:
http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/undigest/slitaz-xorg-light.iso
I booted succefully to X the ISO on a Toshiba with intel 945GM graphic card and on a HP mini with intel 945GME card.
PS: wifi b43 driver used on the HP dont work since it need non free firmware. I will checj that and finaly may provide a package since ther is already non free code in the main Kernel (linux-firmware package).

pankso,
Excellent!!
My asus eeepc 901 boots without problem (800x600)
The problem: wireless ralink rt2860sta no connection
I can see in booting the module rt2860sta is charged
What happens?
My wireless connection uses wep encryption
With slitaz 3, in wireless configuration I must choose ra0 and now with this cooking iso, the wireless is wlan0.
No wireless connections find!!
Help?
Hum.. It as not be auto detected. What about a:
# modprobe -v rt2860sta
When one load a module on any Linux system you can see if the Kernel have detected it after modules is load by using the command 'dmesg'. Since dmesg output can be quiet long one can just display the 10 last lines with tail:
# dmesg | tail
About name, it's because things have been standardized by udev and the kernel guys and all wifi interfaces should be wlan*

@jtouso
Ralink chipsets require firmware .bin files installed to /lib/firmware before you load the driver module.
Download version 26 firmware here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2

Hi,
just to let you know that latest "slitaz-xorg-light.iso" runs well on my laptop (lenovo T61P).
The iso boots nice as LiveCD, then I installed nvidia driver using:
#su
#tazx
=> selected nv driver
=> log off
=> log in
=> that's it.
I have 3 comments:
a) if you type "tazx" as a non-root user, the system returns to prompt. It should send a "warning" saying something like "you must be root to launch tazx".
b) When checking time with "tazpanel-settings", the time is correct. But at the right bottom of desktop, the time is +2 hours, the same if you type "date" in xterm.
c) Last but not least, a huge THANK YOU for your incredible work. :-)

Thanks
All done (lib/firmware and rt2860.bin) but impossible to connect!
It recognize my wireless connection, I put the wep password but...no connection
Hi,
@totoetsasoeur: Fixed tazx http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/rev/41d4c6ddf3c8 - Thanks for the report!
For the time, itŝ probably a wrong the time zone, Claudinai submited a patch 2 days ago so we will have a box to configure it, also in TazPanel you can change it.
@jtouso Can you try a manual network configuration by edition /etc/network.conf and then:
# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart
@all that have notebook with non standard resolution. The package 915resolution is installed on the ISO and you should be able to get the correct screen size with the screen= option. Can some one try on a EeePC 901:
slitaz screen=1024x800
It's the correct resolution on 901 no ?
Offline
no no , it's 1024x600 ..
bad news, nothing change for me . For information, I use a live usb : bzImage with rootfs.gz , so I just
copy-paste the files into boot folder.
On Acer Aspire ZG5 don't start Slitaz 3 and alsow don't start the new Slitaz Cooking!

Finally got around to trying the new cooking version. It seems very nice. Initial networking setup defaults to wlan0 instead of eth0. That was a little confusing as there is no wireless on my desktop machine, but after selecting eth0, the network configured itself nicely. I remove the top panel bar and put everything in the bottom panel bar to gain extra screen space. Pretty nice! How do I get the nice red spider icon to replace the blue diamond icon for the menu item in the bottom panel bar?
Offline
To replace the blue diamond icon with the red slitaz spider icon right click on the blue diamond icon and in the icon location dialogue box select the location for the icon as /usr/share/pixmaps/slitaz-menu.png. Click close to close the dialogue box, and the blue diamond icon will be replaced by the red spider icon. Pretty easy once you know the location of the icon file.

perheaps i shall add a rootdelay option in menu.lst
Is there anybody who can try to make a R packages ? (R is a language in statistics programming)
@moulefrite
Your requesting a tazpkg of this program:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.13.0.tar.gz
Offline
@ Mojo ,, Yeeeessss 
@ Pakso , finally u last cooking works .. (?) but cannot manage to reconfigure Xorg with tazx
to install my eee chipset .. black screen
Hi,
Progress, maybe you can try to install xorg-xf86-driver-install via tazpkg in text mode. And do you boot with a vga= option ? On my intel card machine if I do so I also got black screen.
R... I just downloaded source and did a ./configure && make. It need at least gfortran and readline-dev. I dont have time right now, sorry.
Offline
yes !! Intel works !!
display extlinux.msg
label slitaz
kernel /boot/bzImage
append initrd=/boot/rootfs.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=normal
include common.cfg
3 bugs so far ;
+ tazweb does put a downloading picture popup just on the arrows of the navigator -> so have to wait before changing page
+ changing keyboqrds doesn t take effects , even by restarting X
+ no usb mount in pcmanfm
HTTPS does not work for me... I had to install glib-networking manually. The boot was also not in dual with windows. I had to edit the boot files manually.
