You can start with one of the 2 following flavors:

• base needs 28MB of RAM and 4 floppies: fd001.img to fd004.img.
  base provides the minimum SliTaz distribution subset in text mode.
• core needs 128MB of RAM and 18 floppies: fd001.img to fd113.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 fd004.img.

The base flavor will then start and you will be prompted to insert extra floppies for the core flavor. You can bypass this by using Q and Enter.

If you have an ext3 partition on your hard disk, the bootstrap can create the installation script slitaz/install.sh. You will be able to install SliTaz on your hard disk without extra media.
