I can not install Slitaz, and can not boot from iso

Few month ago, it was simple to boot from ISO, any flavour, and simple to install, (by Slitaz Panel). And I was very happy

now:

Slitaz Panel have not menu "installation";

Slitaz Installer "can not find rootfs.gz", but I created rootfs.gz!

how to install?

And:

how to boot from iso?

http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:frugal say : (about menu.lst)

title SliTaz cooking

  map (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-cooking.iso (hd1)

  map --hook

  kernel (hd1)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal

  initrd (hd1)/boot/rootfs.gz

it works only if:

map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 (hd0,0)/boot/slitaz-cooking.iso (hd1)

and only if "cooking" ISO

another iso I can not boot. Neither "rolling", nor "justx", no "stable", no "core"...   I was trying different ways, but not success. Grub can not "chainload", or kernel panic, or something similar

PLEASE

return installer to Slitaz Panel

return possibility to boot from ISO, by Grub4Dos

Re: I can not install Slitaz, and can not boot from iso

Hi Graybird:

Thanks for the report.

This should be a cooking problem only as long as slitaz-tools is not changed in the 4.0 repository.

The installer files were removed from slitaz-tools package into 2 new packages tazinst and tazinst-gui

Someone forgot to add these new tazpkgs to the flavors package.list so they were not included on the isos.

[c]# tazpkg -gi tazinst[/c]

[c]# tazpkg -gi tazinst-gui[/c]

Web browser: http://tazpanel:82/installer.cgi

Installer was removed from menu in tazpanel
