I will LOVE Slitaz after I get a few problems worked out.

1.) Even though I installed Slitaz onto a USB using the innstructions here (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-slitaz-to-usb-from-windows/), it did not save the data onto the flash drive. Instead, it saves the data (by data, I mean /home) to a "tux" folder on one of my hard drives. I was aiming to make Slitaz a truly portable OS that I could use on any computer, so this is a big problem. I tried adding the Slitaz home=usb line in syslinux.cfg, as well as manually typing it in, neither way worked.

2.) Mountbox does not see one of my harddrives. It is a 1.5TB Seagate drive- specifically the ST31500541AS. It seems to see all of the other drives (all of my other drives are some sort of Western Digital model) just fine. Even Gparted will not see this drive for some reason. Gparted sees it when I run it in partedmagic instead of Slitaz, so this problem really stumps me.

3.) I haven't figured out how to use the package manager yet. What I have been doing is installing packages using the tazpkg get-install command. For example, tazpkg get-install mplayer, which works fine, asks if I want to install dependences and I say yes until I have all dependencies, then I type "mplayer" in the console to start mplayer and it says not found. I've also tried this with Skype.

When installing I used the latest cooking iso as of tonight. Sorry if any of these questions are basic, I didn't find much relevant information on the Slitaz site or wiki, so if there is someplace I should be finding this information before posting here I apologize.

Hi Ericj,
Related to you 3 questions, I think you should consider reading the following documentation pages:

1.) http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/livecd.html

2.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GParted

3.) http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/packages.html

If it does not help, please provide more detailed informations about every specific problem (Why not copy and paste the commands you run as well as the return messages you got?). You can use html balises like < pre > and < /pre > (without the spaces) to get something like:


~$ tazpkg info tazpkg

Tazpkg information
================================================================================
Package    : tazpkg
Version    : 3.2.1
Category   : base-system
Short desc : SliTaz packages manager.
Maintainer : pankso@slitaz.org
Depends    : busybox
Web site   : http://www.slitaz.org/
================================================================================
~$

It improves readability, does not it? The copy-paste method avoids many typo error. ;)

Also, but it is only my point of view, openning a new discussion for every specific issue you may be faced to, would be far easier to consult, manage, solve and use for futur reference. It maximizies chance of getting relevant answer.

Hope it helps.

I think to get mplayer to run in terminal it is gmplayer. I know it is in Puppy Linux. I installed it in Slitaz but am not using slitaz at the moment.
