79 SliTaz GNU/Linux supports all machines based on the i486 or x86 Intel compatible
|
pankso@53
|
80 processors. A minimum 192MB of memory is recommended to use the core LiveCD.
|
pankso@53
|
81 64MB is needed for the "slitaz-loram" flavor and 16MB for the
|
pankso@53
|
82 "slitaz-loram-cdrom" flavor.
|
pankso@53
|
83 </p>
|
pankso@53
|
84 <p>
|
pankso@53
|
85 With the slitaz-loram flavor, the system is less responsive, but allows you to
|
pankso@53
|
86 graphically install SliTaz on very old machines. Once installed, SliTaz works
|
pankso@53
|
87 well with a minimum of 16MB memory, but forget about using Firefox to surf the
|
pankso@53
|
88 web - you'll have to use the text based 'links' for example.

pankso@53

|
pankso@53
|
97 <p>
|
pankso@53
|
98 SliTaz GNU/Linux is distributed as a bootable LiveCD allowing you to use
|
paul@58
|
99 it as a nomal system or graphically install to the hard drive and retain
|
pankso@53
|
100 the use of your previous system including all settings, applications,
|
pankso@53
|
101 documents, etc.
|
pankso@53
|
102 </p>
|
pankso@53
|
103 <p>
|
pankso@53
|
104 The LiveCD can also be customised and easily rebuilt both graphically or from
|
pankso@53
|
105 the command line. Install your own custom set of packages, or simply use one
|
pankso@53
|
106 of the preset flavors on the mirror. Then simply generate your distribution
|
pankso@53
|
107 with the "Tazlito" tool.

pankso@53
|
113 SliTaz 3.0 comes with a new but very well tested Kernel and a complete new
|
paul@58
|
114 toolchain from which the whole system is built. The Linux kernel version is 2.6.30.6
|
paul@58
|
115 which is split into separate packages for additional drivers or features. This time
|
paul@58
|
116 we have also built-in some more drivers to have a faster kernel boot.
|
pankso@53
|
117 </p>
|
pankso@53
|
118 <p>
|
paul@58

119 The new toolchain comprises of: Binutils 2.19.1, GCC 4.4.1, Glibc 2.10.1

128 SliTaz now uses the Xorg X window system (although we will always try to

129 provide a Xvesa flavor). With the tazx utility you can reconfigure Xorg and
|
paul@61
|
130 select the correct driver for your card. The xorg server comes with the vesa
|
paul@61
|
131 driver by default which powers most cards; although you may still need to
|
paul@61
|
132 manually configure your xorg.conf to some degree if you install some of the
|
paul@61
|
133 other drivers.

139 The installation is fully automated and can be done graphically or in text

140 mode. In this version the installer will let you use a separate partition for
|
paul@58
|
141 /home, configure the root password and chose the default user login. The installer also
|
paul@58
|
142 now supports installation from a LiveUSB session.

152 SliTaz 3.0 has 2291 packages in the database. A wide variety of packages

pankso@53
|
153 have been commited and many force went to professionnal grade software such

157 On the update side, mainly all the packages have been updated, including

paul@58
|
158 the kernel, the toolchain, Xorg (7.4), GTK and QT. Package formats have
|
paul@58
|
159 also changed and we now use lzma for better compression. Packages are also
|
erjo@60
|
160 checked by Tazwok to ensure the FHS is followed and packages are built

paul@58

161 automatically by the SliTaz Build Bot: <a href="http://bb.slitaz.org/">bb.slitaz.org</a>

187 The SliTaz GNU/linux installer offers an update function allowing you to
|
pankso@53
|
188 upgrade from a '2.0' to '3.0' version. To upgrade the system you first
|
pankso@53
|
189 need to boot the 'Stable' LiveCD, launch the installer, select upgrade and then
|
pankso@53
|
190 specify the partition containing the system that you want to update. The
|
pankso@53
|
191 installer will then clean out the system and reinstall all the packages not
|
pankso@53
|
192 present on the CD from the mirror. When this has finished you can reboot
|
pankso@53
|
193 with your new version of SliTaz.
|
pankso@53
|
194 </p>
|
pankso@53
|
195 <p>
|
pankso@53
|
196 Note that the installer will keep a copy of the list of packages and a complete
|
pankso@53
|
197 archive of the /etc directory (etc.tar.gz) in /var/lib/slitaz-install.
|
pankso@53

198 </p>
|
pankso@53
|
199 <p>
|
pankso@53
|
200 To upgrade a 2.0 to 3.0 it is also possible to use the package manager "Tazpkg"
|
pankso@53
|
201 via the 'set-release' function, but beware this is not yet proven and may
|
paul@58
|
202 require some manual intervention. If you choose this method you must first
|
paul@58
|
203 install 'tazpkg' from 3.0, because the package format has changed.
