| pankso@7 | 33 <h3>Tazusb - Live USB Tool</h3> |
| pankso@7 | 34 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 35 Tazusb is a tool that can create bootable usb media with a few simple commands. |
| pankso@7 | 36 It can also compress and backup the entire current filesystem to the media, |
| pankso@7 | 37 thus preserving all modifications for future use. Type <code>tazusb usage</code> |
| pankso@7 | 38 for a full list of commands or read |
| pankso@7 | 39 <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/manuals/tazusb.en.html">TazUSB manual</a>. |
| pankso@7 | 40 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 41 <h4>Generate your own LiveUSB media</h4> |
| pankso@7 | 42 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 43 To generate your own LiveUSB media, first you need to login as root with |
| pankso@7 | 44 <code>su</code> and locate your usb storage device using the command: |
| pankso@7 | 45 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 46 <pre># fdisk -l # normally /dev/sda1 |
| pankso@7 | 47 </pre> |
| pankso@7 | 48 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 49 Then format and label your device |
| pankso@7 | 50 (Warning: this will erase all data, make sure you specify the right device): |
| pankso@7 | 51 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 52 <pre># tazusb format /dev/sda1 |
| pankso@7 | 53 </pre> |
| pankso@7 | 54 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 55 And finally generate LiveUSB media device: |
| pankso@7 | 56 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 57 <pre># tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sda1 |
| pankso@7 | 58 </pre> |
| pankso@7 | 59 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 60 And that's all you need to do, providing your computer bios supports it, you |
| pankso@7 | 61 can now boot Slitaz from usb media. |
| pankso@7 | 62 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 63 <h4>Maintaining system settings</h4> |
| pankso@7 | 64 <p>When you finish your LiveUSB session, make sure you maintain your installed |
| pankso@7 | 65 packages, system settings etc by backing up the entire current filesystem with: |
| pankso@7 | 66 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 67 <pre># tazusb writefs gzip |
| pankso@7 | 68 </pre> |
| pankso@7 | 69 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 70 This effectively compresses and backs up everything to the rootfs.gz to be |
| pankso@7 | 71 loaded the next time you boot. |
| pankso@7 | 72 </p> |
| pankso@7 | 73 <h4>Tazusb Manual</h4> |
| pankso@7 | 74 <p> |
| pankso@7 | 75 The official Tazusb manual can be found in SliTaz |
| pankso@7 | 76 <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/manuals/tazusb.en.html">Web site documenation</a>, |
| pankso@7 | 77 it contains a lot more useful information. The manual is also installed on the |
| pankso@7 | 78 core LiveCD and avalaible trow the documentation menu. |
