A minimum 192MB of memory is recommended to use the core LiveCD. 1.84 +64MB is needed for the "slitaz-loram" flavor and 16MB for the 1.85 +"slitaz-loram-cdrom" flavor. 1.86 +</p> 1.87 +<p> 1.88 +With the slitaz-loram flavor, the system is less responsive, but allows you to 1.89 +graphically install SliTaz on very old machines. Once installed, SliTaz works 1.90 +well with a minimum of 16MB memory, but forget about using Firefox to surf the 1.91 +web - you'll have to use the text based 'links' for example. 1.92 +</p> 1.93 +<p> 1.94 +SliTaz 3.0 provide all needed drivers and tools such has 915resolution to 1.95 +have support for wide range of netbooks (Eeepc, HP mini, etc). 1.96 +</p> 1.97 + 1.98 +<a name="livecd"></a> 1.99 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">LiveCD Flavors</font></h3> 1.100 +<p> 1.101 +SliTaz GNU/Linux is distributed as a bootable LiveCD allowing you to use 1.102 +it as a nomad system or graphically install to the hard drive and retain 1.103 +the use of your previous system including all settings, applications, 1.104 +documents, etc. 1.105 +</p> 1.106 +<p> 1.107 +The LiveCD can also be customised and easily rebuilt both graphically or from 1.108 +the command line. Install your own custom set of packages, or simply use one 1.109 +of the preset flavors on the mirror. Then simply generate your distribution 1.110 +with the "Tazlito" tool. 1.111 +</p> 1.112 + 1.113 +<a name="toolchain"></a> 1.114 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">Kernel and toolchain</font></h3> 1.115 +<p> 1.116 +SliTaz 3.0 comes with a new but very well tested Kernel and a complete new 1.117 +toolchain from witch the all system is build.

To upgrade the system you first 1.184 +need to boot the 'Stable' LiveCD, launch the installer, select upgrade and then 1.185 +specify the partition containing the system that you want to update. The 1.186 +installer will then clean out the system and reinstall all the packages not 1.187 +present on the CD from the mirror. When this has finished you can reboot 1.188 +with your new version of SliTaz. 1.189 +</p> 1.190 +<p> 1.191 +Note that the installer will keep a copy of the list of packages and a complete 1.192 +archive of the /etc directory (etc.tar.gz) in /var/lib/slitaz-install. 1.193 +</p> 1.194 +<p> 1.195 +To upgrade a 2.0 to 3.0 it is also possible to use the package manager "Tazpkg" 1.196 +via the 'set-release' function, but beware this is not yet proven and may 1.197 +require some manual intervention. If you choose this way you must first 1.198 +install 'tazpkg' from 3.0, because package format have change. 1.199 +</p> 1.200 + 1.201 +<a name="people"></a> 1.202 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">People of the Project</font></h3> 1.203 +<p> 1.204 +SliTaz is proud to be an international community project.
