@Madbox: Screenshots look really good. So, I downloaded madbox.iso. Unfortunately, kernel hangs while booting. Don't know why. Please check and let me know. I will try again. Latest Slitaz cooking CD boots correctly.

Hi jozee,

Thanks for feedback .. Do you have enough ram ? because It works fine for me ( 512Mo ) .. but I take a look.

Yeah I have 2GB RAM

.. yes , it's enough ;)

I think I found the problem ( when uncompress rootfs in memory -> lzma ). I always made my 'custom' remaster in chroot ( ubuntu ). I have to compress rootfs with lzma from slitaz , not with ubuntu.
It's work fine wtih virtualbox (why ?) but not working on my netbook ( kernel hangs while booting ). This is not append if I compress rootfs with gzip but rootfs = 120 Mo ( 80 Mo with lzma ) ..

So I have to upload new iso .. Thanks to point this bug :)

Ok .. I compress rootfs with lzma (slitaz) but same problem .. work fine with virtualbox and hangs while booting with "real" hardware :(
So it's not related with lzma. I boot the same rootfs with kernel 2.6.29.3 and no more problem !
Another problem with kernel 2.6.30 , I can't load ext4 module .. ( unknown symbol ? )

Apparently there is an Ubuntu-based version ( http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/3384/madbox-liveusb-toram/ )...

Is the Slitaz version faster in terms of booting up/general speed?
Otherwise, I love this. I tried it out on Virtualbox, and the look and feel of it is uniform and pleasing. I can't wait for you to get it working on real hardware (I am willing to test for you if you want), and once I figure out how to run a Slitaz hard disk install off of RAM, I think I'll make this my "quick boot" distro.

Edit: I just took a look at your site http://www.ad-comp.be , and I'm wondering - Is Slitaz going to be your new base system?

Hello spork,

Yes , I made an 'madbox' ubuntu-based , too .. :)

Never test ubuntu-based vs slitaz-based on same hardware , so I can't tell you more .. All I know is than ubuntu need more ram ;)

For madbox slitaz-based , it works fine with kernel 2.6.29 , so while I found what's wrong with 2.6.30 , I can upload a "mixed" release if you want.

Is Slitaz going to be my new base system? no .. I love slitaz but ubuntu remain my base system

Yes, I'd like to see a 2.6.29 iso, if it works out of the VM. 2.6.29 should be new enough anyway...
