rootfs.gz again..

Hi Im´new here and i´m not comfortable to komand prompt. BUT . i have tried several of linux distros for my EEEPC 4g and found slitaz3.0 via LiLi live usb creator.

Now i created a live stick on a cruzer U3 (that crap!)usb stick. I liked what i found in live session and wanted to install with built in Slitaz installer. when it have probed a short while It says "unable to find rootfz.gz"

I have formatted the ssd with g-parted (both standalone and  slitaz built in)

What is there to do? shall i download a new iso copy or shall i extract it separately and place it in where?

Re: rootfs.gz again..

Copy the slitaz iso onto the live USB stick.

How to loop mount slitaz iso to /media/cdrom with mountbox:

Menu/System Tools/Mount devices

Click Loop button which opens Loop manager

Click the blue folder button across from File

Point/Click browse to the slitaz iso file

Highlight the iso file click the OK button

Now your back to Loop manager

The full path to the iso appears between File and the blue folder button

Click +Enable button

The iso file is now listed as /dev/loop0 device

Close out Loop manager

Mountbox=>Mount selected device on: /media/cdrom

Highlight /dev/loop0 Type iso9660 which has Label Slitaz in upper unmounted device window

Click Mount button in lower left corner

/dev/loop0 moves to lower mounted device window showing it's mounted to /media/cdrom

Run slitaz-installer

Re: rootfs.gz again..

Hi and tanks! It solved my problem. At first it didnt work´but a real serious retry i got it done almost imediately.

Now there is a minor problem. If i try to log in with a user acount it reply after a  while its unable to login. it´s not wrong password.. what is to do with that? root logging correctly.
