SliTaz on LiveCD or USB (solved)

Computer Help and Discussions The Lounge

Although this is a SliTaz thread, any info on linux issues I think is relevant, and the screen alignment issue is definitely the result of refresh rate.

XP displays properly at 60hz, and if I change that to 70hz, it still displays clearly with no glitches/flickering, but it jumps across to the side.

And if you want to have a run at Ubuntu and save changes onto a USB, then you can set it to be "persistent" by installing it with "Universal USB Installer". Whether you can do it via a "superuser" account as you can in SliTaz, I don't know. Re-installing is probably quicker than searching for, and then applying a different method, if there is one.

Being a linux novice I didn't realise that Ubuntu isn't persistent by default. You have to set it up.

I lost a lovely set up yesterday when I closed down, so I'm installing it again when I log off here.

Is there an easier way to install this on a CD??

I use Universal USB Installer to embed my Linuxes on my USB flashdrives but it requires me maybe 700 MB to actually put this SliTaz on the USB.

Ishi, did you ever get it sorted out to your satisfaction? Asking because I just used Dennis's procedure to put Slitaz with the new apps onto the original USB, and it occupies only about 116 mb.

Thought I'd put this link in the thread as it may help folk who are unsure about how to put operating systems onto a USB, either Linux or Windows.

Now it's been made real easy

Thank you muchly, Hazel. I just tried it, stopped short of an installation...no need, and anyway I'm out of usb sticks. :P Wow. It will either install an iso you already have "on file" or download it. Has links to a big list of available distros.

So did you dive into Ubuntu on USB?

I made myself a 5gb partition for it on my 2nd internal hard drive ... and it didn't work out very well, so I'm back with the USB version.

But that's another story. :)

burn the iso file on a cdrom and then, put the boot settings like this:

1.cd-rom

2.hdd hard disk

3.other thing

and... the other things

You are new to the forum, (and I'm afraid it shows).

You have just replied a 9 years old post, the version of SliTaz being discussed here (v3.0) is well out of date. 

SliTaz is now at version 5.0.
