I'm going to try it; only two words: i'm installing with: # mount -o loop,ro slitaz.iso /media/cdrom # slitaz-installer
but I've noticed that slitaz-installer sets KERNEL=vmlinux-$(uname -r), while it should take the correct name from /media/cdrom/boot/<name-of-kernel-in-the-iso>, assuming that I've not booted from cdrom but i'm running my slitaz installation; so the new vmlinuz-2.6.37 becomes vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz (the kernel from which i'm installing), which will differ from /lib/modules/vmlinuz-2.6.37. However, after renaming the kernel and changing grub menu.lst,rebooted and the new blending booted perfectly, the only issues being screen res and b43 firmware wireless. So I have a generic question: it wouldn't be nice to have a direct link for additional known-requested packages near the iso download link, to make all important devices working properly and not requesting an uncomfortable cable connection? E.g. I KNOW that my laptop needs i915 modules and ath9k modules or b43 firmware, so before downloading the iso couldn't I click on a quick link to get this two or three most important packages? It is a proposal, i think that it could be compiled of list of known important-per-machine packages.
