it's as easy as copying the contents of the .ISO to the root of the main partition on the usb disk. then to make slitaz bootable, you have to manually install and configure a bootmanager.

here is my detailed tutorial.

@tikbalang, Thanks for the link to your thread. I've already considered the likes of grub4dos and unetbootin. I was hoping for a solution much like Slax has where you just download a USB-ready image and then install directly to USB stick.

http://www.slax.org/documentation.php

In-particular:

Slax distribution - Slax for USB...

http://www.slax.org/documentation_install_slax.php

This seems to do a syslinux install to USB via a .bat file in Windows.

But Slax it seems is now (as of my post date) in a stop-development state for an indefinite amount of time. (Not the first time this has happened with Slax, let's hope it comes back to active some day).

Man, I get errors when trying to post yet the posts appear after logging in again.

Sorry for the multiples. Sysadmin please delete the dupes.

I'm WinXP SP3+ latest JRE, Flash, and Firefox.

@Drone, If are looking to create a live-usb, it's pretty straightforward. There is a tazusb.exe for windows that you can simply point to an iso and it will create a live-usb for you. I'm not sure if it'll preserve the FAT format -- actually I don't remember.

I haven't used windows for a long time and now I can't seem to find tazusb.exe on the Slitaz website. I found a copy on ophcrack's website (check the installation instructions for windows, I think its the second bullet):

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ophcrack/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#New_instructions_.28LiveCD_version_2.3.0_and_newer.29

I haven't verified this copy so I cannot give any guarantees that its free of malware/spyware/viruses/wmds/etc. so please use with care :).

@Drone , everyone gets the error box on occasion
It's human nature to assume an error in response to an action means the action failed and you should repeat the action.
In this case the assumption is wrong.
