2016-03-31 – With their last release being 2014-05-19, I’m flagging this as abandoned.
- The previous release (4.0) was 2012-04-10
-
2015-05-15 – No instructions to getting this on a USB stick. When I do get one to boot, it cannot get past the USB bootloader.
2015-05-14 – 4.0 ∞
- Trying UNetbootin/Windows
- Going to unmount the disk before rebooting
- Going to remove/reinsert the USB stick during reboot. I may have had some detection issues in the past.
-
Booted into “Default”
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,66)
-
Rebooted. Selected “Web Boot”, which immediately gave
Cannot load a ramdisk with an old kernel image.
- … then it went back into the bootloader after a delay, and without warning.
-
Rebooted. Selected “SliTaz gtkonlyLive”
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I am unwilling to troubleshoot. FAIL.
2015-05-14 – 4.0 ∞
- There is no hint whatsoever on how to get the ISO onto a USB stick. What is with all these distributions omitting this knowledge?
- this reviewer says he got it to a USB stick with Unetbootin.
- Booted into a Lubuntu 14.04 amd64 liveUSB to try Unetbootin.
- Unetbooten does nothing when I run it.
- Booted into a Lubuntu 14.04 32bit liveUSB to try Unetbootin.
-
Unetbooten works, but asks for p7zip-full.
\sudo \apt-get install p7zip-full
- I used Unetbootin for SliTaz.
- The USB stick doesn’t boot.
- Booted back into Lubuntu
- Nuked the USB stick, and made one vfat partition.
- I let Unetbootin download SliTaz (it downloaded the 4.0 stable)
- It was a damned slow DL
- The install was slow too!
- It was not bootable.
- I reproduced the entire process with another USB stick
- I used
sdxinstead ofsdx1 -
It was not bootable.
I’m giving up.
Date unknown ∞
btrfs ∞
check to see if it’s in the default install yet
tazpkg get-install linux-btrfs
tazpkg get-install brtfs-progs
Modify /etc/rcS.conf
i.e: LOAD_MODULES=”virtio_blk virtio_neti brfs”
ecryptfs ∞
not found
https://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=ecryptfs
todo – check out eCryptfs on Slax[doesn’t exist] and consider using tazpkg for converting other distributions’ packages.
-
(source) Tazpkg supports new features including the conversion of deb/rpm/arch/slackware/ipk packages to Slitaz native format

There’s no checksum provided for these downloads. =(
Booted into “Default”
- can only get to 1400x1040x24
- has a nice LiveUSB creation tool
-
Uses Openbox, but there’s no alt-click-drag, and popup focus is off by default
FAIL
