    maybe it's because slitaz is running in RAM when you run it live. could it be your computer just has 2GB ram? you might install it to HD., but I don't know, cause I use it also in RAM only.

    But I think you can mount your harddrive in the filemanager and just save the files you need to your harddisk?

    Hi,

    Nope 2 Gb of RAM memory is plenty enough to run SliTaz in memory as a Live CD, even with lots of additional software installed later.

    I am sorry, I cannot help anymore, I don't understand the rest of the post. :-\
    To be more precise:

    - why do you need folders more that 5 Gb in size ?

    - do you intend to make a new partition for SliTaz installation, from the free space of this 20 Gb existing partition ?

    - what is the filesystem format of this existing partition: NTFS ? FAT16/32 ? ext2/3 ? another one ? (FAT may be a limitation for total size of file/folder >2Gb, but not sure...)

    - what type of data is on this existing partition: operating system ? (which one), personal/user data ? Both ?

    Sincerely,

    - do you intend to make a new partition for SliTaz installation, from the free space of this 20 Gb existing partition ?

    mount point /media/disk size 20gb used 569.9mb unused 19.44 gb

    - what is the filesystem format of this existing partition: NTFS ? FAT16/32 ? ext2/3 ? another one ? (FAT may be a limitation for total size of file/folder >2Gb, but not sure...)

    - what type of data is on this existing partition: operating system ? (which one), personal/user data ? Both ?

    Hmmm,

    Sorry I cannot figure out why this limitation exists.
    Is there any error message at command line, if you try to copy some files for a total larger than 1.8 Gb in a folder ?

    This kind of command:
    cp [SourceFolderWithMoreThan1.8GbData/] [DestinationFolder/]

    Not sure of what I wonder to happen but let's try something...
