Flavors

A flavor is the recipe of a SliTaz live ISO: a list of packages, plus a few files laid over the system. The seven official ISOs (base, core, core-retro and firefox) are flavors, and anyone can make one to taste: a kiosk, a rescue key, a classroom desktop, a tiny server. The ready-made ISOs are on the download page.

Build your own ISO with metier

metier, our ISO builder, made all the official ISOs. It runs natively on SliTaz, takes the packages from the mirror, adds their dependencies by itself and builds an ISO that boots on BIOS and UEFI (x86_64) or BIOS (i486). Flavors live in the flavors repository. 

$ spk-add metier
$ metier flavors                      # list the flavors
$ metier check core-x86_64            # what goes in, what is missing
$ metier build core-x86_64            # build the ISO
$ metier emu core-x86_64              # try it in QEMU

To make your own, copy a flavor directory, edit its packages.list (one package per line, dependencies come by themselves) and add your files in addfiles/. Proud of it? Share it on the forum.

Older releases

SliTaz 4.0 (April 2012) was the last stable release. It is no longer maintained and its packages are frozen: use it for history or for very old hardware only.
