Hi all

I decompress rootfs.gz, I have modified some files and
then compressed rootf.gz with:
find. -print | cpio-o-H newc | lzma e-si-so> .. / rootfs.gz


I added and rebuilt the iso LiveCD with the new
rootf.gz, but when I try the new LiveCD with virtual
machine, an error, which says that not exists ttyx, 1.2, 3, ...

Thanks

I experienced several problems getting enna up and running:
I started with a fresh install of slitaz with only the addition of xorg-server, xorg-xf86-video-ati, and xorg-libXv
The installation seemed to go smoothly:

Apparently the default theme was not installed. enna launches but without any backgrounds or images at all.
====================
Summary: (see http://packages.geexbox.org/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages)
libvalhalla needs added dependencies ffmpeg (for libavformat.so.52) and libexif
libplayer needs added dependency mplayer
eet needs added dependency gnutls
enna needs efreet and lirc
emotion does not need enlightenment
enna asks for the wrong versions of libefreet-ver-svn and libecore-ver-svn. slitaz has 05 and enna wants 03. Symlinks seem to work.enna's default theme needs to be properly installed

My problem is this. I'm sick and tired of entering the language, keymap and screen options over and over again. Is there some way I can change my settings so that I go directly to the login screen, with the language=en, keymap=us, screen=1024x768x24 options being loaded automatically?

I've been searching for days on the Net, but haven't been able to find a solution. Have tried changing the isolinux.cfg file and the menu.lst file -- but haven't been able to automate this. It's beginning to affect my sanity! One of those irritating things which should be so easy to do, but I just can't figure it out. :-)

Seriously though, think it would be very helpful to have a clearly laid-out guide to automating this -- there must be many people who're sick of this. Slitaz loads up so fast -- it's a shame to have to slow down the bootup process, entering the same options every time.

Network is wifi, can surf and update packages without errors.
1) Started tazlitobox as su.
2) Under "Flavors" tab: clicked "Get Flavor". No errors appear in the terminal window.
3) Under "System" tab: clicked "Gen distro". gen-liveflavor reports "Unable to find ipw-2200-firmware-3.0-9.0.1 in the repository." and tries to download from mirrors. It then reports 404 and one 550 errors, followed by:

As I started this thread in the "old" forum but didn't receive a reply, I thought I'd try again when things were a little more active :)

I'm working on a project which uses SliTaz as a base. I've successfully compiled some software on it but wish to ensure the programs match the underlying operating system as much as possible & run on as wide a range of PCs as possible. I'm not too proficient with the ins and outs of software compilation so would really appreciate some advice.

Primarily, I'd like to ask what optimisations, flags etc. SliTaz is built with? Are the defaults and -O2 okay?
Secondly, anything I should watch out for like specific What about and CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS?
Lastly, are there any tips & tricks you could offer me? I'm kinda new at this game :)

Thanks lots for any advice :)]]> http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/481/slitazxorg-snow Wed, 27 Jan 2010 03:11:14 +0100 Payoon 481@/index.php?p=/discussions I have installed Sltay-xorg to use a better screen resolution. However after I updateted, I found that my keyboard was changed. The boot log says to fr-ch latin. I tried to change it back to de-latin with keyboard mapping, but it didnt work. The keyboard stays in the wrong locale.
To help find the error I have to say, that in the past I have tried to install nvidia driver with cooking 3.0 and the same happened. After installing nvidia driver ,which didnt work, mz kezboard was changed and i couldnt change it back.
Please help me to change back to de-keyboard.

2. cooking version can be built at the time when user downloads, so that it will contain the latest package

I was wondering if there were any statistics available for any user-centric aspect of Slitaz? I was hoping for say, Jan '09, Jun '09, Jan '10 to show growth of the project. I was thinking in any of the following areas:

- downloads from the website
- downloads from Distrowatch
- newly-registered forum users
- forum messages posted

Does anybody have these statistics or know where I can find them fairly easily?

I'm back on slitaz, and now from a Samsung N140 netbook.

I'll use this thread to give feed back about how it works and to ask help when needed.

-the speakers work out of the box

-Xvesa cannot display over 800x600

-the ethernet works out of the box.

-for the wireless, I had to install the windows xp driver using tazndisbox, it works quite well, BUT after install, at some point, with apparently no reason, I cannot connect to the internet, that's weird.

I mean : the wireless worked properly during a few boots, but now, the iwconfig seems right :
tux@slitaz:~$ iwconfig

dummy0 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

- if I do the compression using slitaz (lzma 4.57), the iso is good for both virtualbox, and the physical machine!
