    1.36 +<h3>Tazusb - Live USB Tool</h3>
    1.37 +<p>
    1.38 +Tazusb is a tool that can create bootable usb media with a few simple commands.
    1.39 +It can also compress and backup the entire current filesystem to the media, 
    1.40 +thus preserving all modifications for future use. Type <code>tazusb usage</code>
    1.41 +for a full list of commands or read 
    1.42 +<a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/manuals/tazusb.en.html">TazUSB manual</a>.
    1.43 +</p>
    1.44 +<h4>Generate your own LiveUSB media</h4>
    1.45 +<p>
    1.46 +To generate your own LiveUSB media, first you need to login as root with
    1.47 +<code>su</code> and locate your usb storage device using the command:
    1.48 +</p>
    1.49 +<pre># fdisk -l     # normally /dev/sda1
    1.50 +</pre>
    1.51 +<p>
    1.52 +Then format and label your device 
    1.53 +(Warning: this will erase all data, make sure you specify the right device):
    1.54 +</p>
    1.55 +<pre># tazusb format /dev/sda1 
    1.56 +</pre>
    1.57 +<p>
    1.58 +And finally generate LiveUSB media device:
    1.59 +</p>
    1.60 +<pre># tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sda1
    1.61 +</pre>
    1.62 +<p>
    1.63 +And that's all you need to do, providing your computer bios supports it, you 
    1.64 +can now boot Slitaz from usb media.
    1.65 +</p>
    1.66 +<h4>Maintaining system settings</h4>
    1.67 +<p>When you finish your LiveUSB session, make sure you maintain your installed 
    1.68 +packages, system settings etc by backing up the entire current filesystem with:
    1.69 +</p>
    1.70 +<pre># tazusb writefs gzip
    1.71 +</pre>
    1.72 +<p>
    1.73 +This effectively compresses and backs up everything to the rootfs.gz to be 
    1.74 +loaded the next time you boot.
    1.75 +</p>
    1.76 +<h4>Tazusb Manual</h4>
    1.77 +<p>
    1.78 +The official Tazusb manual can be found in SliTaz 
    1.79 +<a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/manuals/tazusb.en.html">Web site documenation</a>, 
    1.80 +it contains a lot more useful information. The manual is also installed on the
    1.81 +core LiveCD and avalaible trow the documentation menu.
