Make a persistent Slitaz Linux USB using a 128MB stick

Do you use LILI, UUI or tazusb.exe because it won't fit 128MB USB or it just won't boot.

Download rolling iso from https://www.slitaz.org/en/get/

Boot it up using VMware, it might not enter X because you need to login as root/root, type tazx, configure to use vmware display driver.

normal user is tux

format your USB using

tazusb format /dev/sda1

create image from current running live ISO

tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sda1


Now you can try to boot that USB using VMware, if VMware cannot boot it, in vmx file, change or add the following lines.

firmware = "efi"

efi.legacyBoot.enabled = "true"


When ever you make config changes, you need to rebuild rootfs.gz using

tazusb writefs [none|gzip|lzma]

use lzma if your have small USB but fast CPU.

Citrix Workspace lower game fps performance

 I was playing 80 hours Witcher 3 without performance issue >200 fps, all a sudden 1 day fps drops to 1-7 fps but CPU and GPU usage was never higher than 20%.


After a painful reinstall, restore, everything, it was "Citrix Workspace", uninstall it Witcher 3 run like wind.
