Suggestion about creating LiveUSB

Hi all,

Why would there not on the Get SliTaz page a zip archive that would allow to windows users to create easily a LiveUSB in only 3 commands (windows cannot do better than SliTaz!)?

[*]unzip the archive on the stick

[*]with the terminal of windows, go to the \boot\syslinux repertory of the stick

[*]make the stick bootable with the syslinux command

Works as well as with FAT 16 or 32; no need to download utilities (windows can unzip, syslinux.exe is in the archive)

Limitations: need to be admin with windows XP (not with win7); no persistance (but possibility to save data on free space of the stick).

What about it?

This would avoid some of getting discouraged and SliTaz would be even more autonomous!

The ISO file will do it eventually:

OK Bellard,

I've already saw it in one of your previous posts. It'll be really cool!

Let's wait SliTaz 5.0.
