SliTaz SliTaz Forum archive

This forum is now a read-only archive

The SliTaz community has moved to Maille, a forum made for SliTaz.

We looked hard for a replacement for this aging forum, including a move from bbPress to FluxBB last June. But spam bots now get through sign-up even with mail confirmation, and these forum engines are barely maintained anymore. So we wrote a forum in the SliTaz spirit: small, fast, no JavaScript, works on old machines and in text browsers. Everything here stays readable.

Frugal install to Microsoft Windows partition

Install Grub4dos.

This article will assume that your C: drive is (hd0,0). You need at least 160MB to run Slitaz cooking (128MB for Slitaz 1.0).

Tested with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.

For Windows XP, 2000 or NT, copy http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/grldr into C:\ and append to C:\boot.ini:

C:\grldr="Grub4DOS"

Traditional frugal install

Copy http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/cooking/bzImage and http://mirror.slitaz.org/boot/cooking/rootfs.gz (both <30MB) into C:\boot and append to C:\menu.lst (create it) the following text:

title SliTaz cooking

  kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal

  initrd (hd0,0)/boot/rootfs.gz

Works fine with Windows XP on FAT32 and on NTFS.
