Unable to do a frugal install of SliTaz 4.0

Hi all,

I've done on my professional computer (win7) frugal installations of the stable SliTaz releases and most of the last rolling iso. I can boot all of them from Grub started from a USB stick excepted one : SliTaz 4 !

I tried with the 4-in-1 (I've of course combine the 4 rootfs#.gz into 1 rootfs.gz), 4.0-core, loram. Always the same message at boot: /home/tux/.session: .: line 3: can't open '/home/tux/.config/slitaz/applications.conf'

Is there someone who arrives to run SliTaz 4.0 in frugal mode ? What did I miss?

Not sure what causes this, maybe a fat32 issue,but I've seen it before.

Use boot option screen=text

logon tux

[c]$ mkdir -p .config/slitaz[/c]

[c]$ cp /etc/slitaz/applications.conf .config/slitaz[/c]

logon root

[c]# /etc/init.d/slim start[/c]

Verify you have applications.conf here or every new user will have the same problem:

/etc/skel/.config/slitaz/applications.conf

Hi mojo,

Thanks a lot.

I've already did it excepted I did'nt logon as root and tried to start with startx as I do with rolling. In this case SliTaz starts but the mouse does not work and I have to press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace] to go back to prompt.

I'll try your method tomorrow evening. I didn't take my PC with me tonight...
