Create a LiveCD

I just wanted to report my pleasure at having discovered and used the Create a LIveCD menu item under System Tools to create a new livecd based on my preferences on my upgraded version of slitaz cooking.  I used the first writeiso tab with no compression and not saving the sound or video configurations to create a new slitaz cooking livecd that boots perfectly on a newer faster machine (pentium iv 1.5 ghz 256 mb ram) that runs much faster than the older machine (pentium iii 600 mhz 512 mb ram).  I am using the newer machine with my new slitaz cooking livecd to post this message.  What a nifty system.  In many ways it seems to put what I have permanently on this machine, debian 6.0 and netbsd 5.1, to shame.  I am very pleased and quite enthusiastic about slitaz.

Re: Create a LiveCD

Hi Merlin,

That's great to hear. It was TazLito that really got me to stick with SliTaz, as I used to for a tiny university project when I was blown away how simple it was compared to Slax and whatever else -- after all else that's great with SliTaz of course! I think it particularly useful to have flavours that are tiny but also those with all the drivers etc. that will boot a lot easier of other systems, something I was playing around with.

Glad to hear of your success, long may it continue!

Re: Create a LiveCD

Thank you, same to you.  Yes, slitaz has always been a very nice relatively simple and small system.  I have used it off and on since version one.  With the last slitaz stable 3.0 I had a bad problem with the video drivers, and I used the xvesa version just a little.  More recently, the slitaz cooking version seems greatly improved, and my enthusiasm for slitaz is renewed.  If this trend continues, I expect slitaz will get better and better.  Best regards.

seawolf,

re:  http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/cannot-login-to-desktop#post-513

tremendous help from Trixar_za in resolving the cannot-login-to-desktop problem

the issue relates to creating a new livecd; as mojo stated, cannot use tazlito writefs expects and internal cdrom and will not work w/ an external cdrom

#1 do you know of a work-around?  #2 when tazlito writes a new iso, does it capture all users (changes/preferences/etc), or just root?

thanks
