Built on 10 May 2026, needs up to 240Mb of RAM

This floppy set will boot a SliTaz development loram version. You can write floppies with SliTaz bootfloppybox, Windows rawrite or simply dd:

# dd if=fd001.img of=/dev/fd0

If you have a CD-ROM, a USB port and a USB key or a network card, but you can't boot these devices directly, then try floppy-grub4dos first. This 1.44Mb floppy provides tiny programs to boot these devices without BIOS support and some other tools.

This floppy set uses the BIOS instead of the linux driver. You can boot SliTaz using unsupported floppy drives such as some PCMCIA devices.

You can start with one of the 4 following flavors:

base needs 2MB of RAM and 11 floppies: fd001.img to fd011.img.
base provides the minimum SliTaz distribution subset in text mode.
justx needs 68MB of RAM and 21 floppies: fd001.img to fd109.img.
justx provides the minimum SliTaz distribution subset with X11 support.
gtkonly needs 113MB of RAM and 30 floppies: fd001.img to fd208.img.
gtkonly provides the minimum SliTaz distribution subset with GTK+ support.
core needs 240MB of RAM and 45 floppies: fd001.img to fd314.img.
core provides the default SliTaz distribution.

Start your computer with fd001.img. It will show the kernel version string and the kernel cmdline line. You can edit the cmdline. Most users can just press Enter.

The floppy is then loaded into memory (one dot each 64KB) and you will be prompted to insert the next floppy, fd002.img. And so on up to last floppy.

You will be prompted to insert extra floppies for the next flavors. You can bypass this by using B to boot without loading extra floppies.

Each floppy set detects disk swaps and can be used without a keyboard.

Good luck.

ISO image floppy set

The floppy image set above includes an embedded installer and can install SliTaz on your hard disk.

Anyhow you may want these ISO images to install SliTaz

You can restore the ISO image on your hard disk using:

# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=fdiso01.img
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=fdiso02.img
# ...
# cat fdiso*.img | cpio -i
