Re: urgent slitaz persistent on usb

This works for me:

A message posted by GottaGoFast in

http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/install-slitaz-to-usb-stick-make-it-act-as-harddrive:

Final working order:

Install slitaz-4.0.iso to CD

Boot from CD

Insert USB

Format USB to ext3 in gparted

Open SliTaz Panel

Install -> Install Slitaz

Follow instructions w/ web "stable" and pointing to sdc1 (USB) [because I have two HDDs. Check USB location with gparted]

After install is finished, open PCMan

Select the CD-ROM

Tool -> Open Current Folder as Root

Browse to /boot/grub/ to get splash.xpm.gz

Copy splash.xpm.gz

Select USB (TOSHIBA etc etc for the one I used)

Browse to /boot/grub/

Paste splash.xpm.gz

Open menu.lst

Edit menu.lst entry to:

root (hd0,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sdc1 rootdelay=8 lang=en_us kmap=us vga=788 quiet

Save menu.lst

Turn off computer

Eject CD but leave in USB

Boot

Voilà! Slitaz 4.0 running on USB with persistence

Re: urgent slitaz persistent on usb

@ evat, What you describe is a full install on a USB stick. This works and of course you have persistence.

@ ch4ndr4,

If you want to have persistence with a Live USB, your stick must be formated ext2/3. How did you do your live and which version of SliTaz do you use?

Re: urgent slitaz persistent on usb

Bonjour EVAT,

Ta solution d'installation sur cle usb marche-t-elle si celle-ci est formatée en FAT32 ?

merci de ta réponse.

Salutations.

Re: urgent slitaz persistent on usb

Bonjour robert.jclaude,

Oui, la méthode d'evat fonctionne même si la clé est formatée FAT.

Attention à l'appellation de ta clé : selon que ton disque dur est reconnu en tant que hda1 ou sda1 par l'installateur, ta clé sera identifiée respectivement sda1 ou sdb1. Et si tu as partitionné ta clé tu pourras avoir une partition spécifique pour ton /home.
