Boot
Floppy image set
This floppy set will boot a Slitaz stable version. You can write floppies with SliTaz bootfloppybox, Windows rawrite or simply dd:
# dd if=fd001.img of=/dev/fd0
If you have a CD-ROM, an USB port and an USB key or a network card, but you can't boot these devices directly, then try floppy-grub4dos first. This 1.44Mb floppy provides tiny programs to boot these devices without BIOS support and some other tools.
You can start with one of the 3 following flavors :
-
base needs 32Mb of RAM and 5 floppies: fd001.img to fd005.img.
base provides the minimum slitaz distribution subset in text mode. -
justx needs 96M of RAM and 11 floppies: fd001.img to fd105.img.
justx provides the minimum slitaz distribution subset with X11 support. -
core needs 160M of RAM and 22 floppies: fd001.img to fd210.img.
core provides the default slitaz distribution.
The floppy is then loaded into memory (one dot each 64k) and you will be prompted to insert the next floppy, fd002.img. And so on up to fd005.img.
The base flavor will then start and you will be prompted to insert extra floppies for justx and core flavors. You can bypass this by using Q and Enter.
Each floppy set detects disk swaps and can be used without a keyboard.
Good luck.
