    1.44 +<h3>Tazlito - SliTaz Live Tool</h3>
    1.45 +<p>
    1.46 +Tazlito is a tool to help generate and configure SliTaz LiveCD ISO images.
    1.47 +You can create a custom distro in two commands from a list of packages and a
    1.48 +flavor file, extract an existing ISO image to hack it, create new initramfs 
    1.49 +and/or a new ISO. Most commands must be run by root, except the stats and the
    1.50 +configuration file manipulation. Like other SliTaz tiny utils, you can simply
    1.51 +type <code>tazlito usage</code> in a terminal to get a list of all 
    1.52 +commands with a short description in English.
    1.53 +</p>
    1.54 +
    1.55 +<a name="get-flavor"></a>
    1.56 +<h3>Get a flavor</h3>
    1.57 +<p>
    1.58 +SliTaz LiveCD can easily be rebuilt using Tazlito flavor support. A special 
    1.59 +LiveCD flavor can be built from the LiveCD/RAM itself or from an installed
    1.60 +system. If you want to rebuild SliTaz from the LiveCD you need at least 256 Mb
    1.61 +of RAM and we recommend that you store the file on persistent media (USB key, HD,
    1.62 +etc). To start you need to get a flavor file from a SliTaz mirror, open a Xterm,
    1.63 +become root administrator and get the default core system:
    1.64 +</p>
    1.65 +<pre>
    1.66 + # tazlito get-flavor core
    1.67 +</pre>
    1.68 +
    1.69 +<a name="gen-distro"></a>
    1.70 +<h3>Generate your own distro</h3>
    1.71 +<p>
    1.72 +The command <code>get-flavor</code> will download the core flavor, giving you a description
    1.73 +and a list of packages in the current directory with some additional files in 
    1.74 +/home/slitaz/distro/addfiles (JWM menu, wallpapers, hacker files). From now on 
    1.75 +you can add or remove packages in the list (<code>distro-packages.list</code>), 
    1.76 +modify configuration files (<code>tazlito.conf</code>) and optionally modify 
    1.77 +additional files. Then simply generate a LiveCD ISO image:
    1.78 +</p>
    1.79 +<pre>
    1.80 + # tazlito gen-distro
    1.81 +</pre>
    1.82 +<p>
    1.83 +The LiveCD ISO image, root filesystem (rootfs) and the content of the CD 
    1.84 +(rootcd) are in /home/slitaz/distro.  All repacked or downloaded packages are
    1.85 +stored by default in /home/slitaz/packages. If you want to chroot in the
    1.86 +rootfs to preconfigure the system, add more files in the rootcd directory or 
    1.87 +add users, you just have to rebuild initramfs and the ISO image to generate 
    1.88 +your new LiveCD:
    1.89 +</p>
    1.90 +<pre>
    1.91 + # tazlito gen-initiso
    1.92 +</pre>
    1.93 +
    1.94 +<h4>Burn ISO and gen a flavor file</h4>
    1.95 +<p>
    1.96 +Tazlito can also burn the LiveCD and/or create a flavor file to keep your 
    1.97 +modifications:
    1.98 +</p>
    1.99 +<pre>
   1.100 + # tazlito burn-iso
   1.101 + # tazlito gen-flavor
   1.102 +</pre>
