You can start with one of the 3 following flavors:

• base needs 32MB of RAM and 5 floppies: fd001.img to fd005.img.
  base provides the minimum SliTaz distribution subset in text mode.
• justx needs 96MB of RAM and 11 floppies: fd001.img to fd105.img.
  justx provides the minimum SliTaz distribution subset with X11 support.
• core needs 160MB of RAM and 21 floppies: fd001.img to fd209.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 fd005.img.

The base flavor will then start and you will be prompted to insert extra floppies for justx and core flavors. 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.
