This is lines of /home/boot/grub/menu.lst in my old machine (ordinary GRUB installed): Rootfs.gz (from '/') -> rootfs.gz -> previous.gz -> rootfs.gz.1279365956 (this number is date-time) If file '/home/boot/bzImage' exists, then echo "Moving." and move files in /home/boot like this: Mv /home/boot/rootfs.gz /home/boot/previous.gz Mv /home/boot/previous.gz /home/boot/rootfs.gz.$(date +%s) # Move the old filesystem with the unix timestamp for reference # If the bootable medium is where it should be, copy acrossĮcho "Moving rootfs.gz to media. There is the lines (509-522) of /usr/bin/tazusb: Cooking is not alpha, it's not stable, some like beta :) Unfortunately, my weak & cost net connection don't let me experiment with cooking one. Slitaz look nice and have packages I like but cannot save setup make Slitaz useless to me. I spend many many hour on this and reading Slitaz web and forum but cannot make work. All previous settings do not show up but "/home" is mounted and 'rootfs.gz" is there.same file I save. So I "mv /rootfs.gz /home" and prove file exist in "/home" using "ls -al". Then I use "tazusb writefs gzip" to create "rootfs.gz" which is found in "/", not "/home" as some forum writing say even though I mount "/dev/sde2" as "/home" and "mount" say I do that.
#Slitaz usb overdrive install
I make changes to environment, install new packages, remove other packages. Strange? What is "tux" password? When I make USB from "pendrivelinux" USB tool all boot "ok" and "tux" login work "ok". I boot from USB made from "tazusb gen-liveusb" command, all boot "ok" but autologin "tux" not work so I login as "root". I use "tazusb gen-liveusb" to create bootable Slitaz on USB.
#Slitaz usb overdrive download
Initrd=/boot/rootfs4.gz,/boot/rootfs3.gz,/boot/rootfs2.gz,/boot/rootfs1.I use "slitaz-cooking.iso 20100314" from download on Slitaz site. Tazusb gen-liveusb adds UUID to extlinux.cfg for blkid Applications/System Tools/Create a LiveUSB which is gui frontend for tazusb gen-liveusb and tazusb gen-iso2usb USB flash drive partitioned/formated to ext3 with Applications/System Tools/Gparted Partition Editorģ. None of the configs in my ~/ would be available,and if I tazusb writefs gzip the new rootfs will be written to the sata drive and not the tazusb drive.ġ. But if I run my tazUSB in another computer with sata drives or add a sata drive to this computer it will mount the wrong partition as /home and not work correctly. I have no sata drives connected to the computer,only a dvd writer so my USB flash is /dev/sda and home=usb could work in this configuration. You should be able to identify the flash drive by it's smaller size,number of partitions,filesystem,etc. I prefer to use UUID instead of /dev/sdXX as it locks /home to the unique UUID number of the flash drive.
If a sata drive is connected, it will always be recognized before the usb drive and grabs sda. Home=usb is the same as home=sda1 which is why it only works if there are no hard drive's connected to the computer your running the tazusb on. If anyone could give me a hand in trying to figure this out, it would be very much appreciated! I am using the latest ver 4 RC2 cooked. I don't need the USB to boot with the persistent option every time, as once it's set up, I likely won't need to make a lot of changes going forward. I'd rather set things up once and then have the settings saved.
#Slitaz usb overdrive drivers
The main reason I need to make the changes persistent is that I have a Lenovo T61 I'd like to run this with, but need to set up things like the appropriate Nvidia drivers (as per the fantastic writeup on here). (next time I boot, it's reverted to the as d/l version)
Neither seems to capture/save the OS with the changes. When finished, I've tried "tazusb writefs" and "tazusb writefs gzip". When booting using the gui menu, I append the first option with "home=usb". I've been reading about ways to make Slitaz on the USB persistent, but nothing has worked for me. Slitaz seems like a good starting point, but this time around, I'd like to be able to run it/keep it on a USB rather than using harddrive space. While Mint has worked well for me, it is large for the limited time I spend in my linux partition. Hello everyone, I'm new to Slitaz, but not linux in general (been using Mint off and on for a number of years).
