SLAX 6.0.9

Slax is a Linux Live CD operating system based on Slackware. It does not need to be installed on a computer system's hard drive; it boots and runs from either a CD or USB drive. There is also an option to run Slax from RAM. SLAX was developed by Tomáš Matějíček in Czech republic using the Linux Live scripts.

Features :

One of the primary features of Slax is easy customization. Additional software, such as Slackware packages, can be added to the basic CD to customize the distribution. The Slax homepage offers a software repository for downloading user created packages (modules) and uploading new ones. ^[1]

Slax modules are rather simple for the average user to create, customize, and install. Slax lzm modules can be created with the help of the debian package tools (dpkg) module available on the Slax website module page, which enables one to be able to convert deb (Debian) packages into Slax modules using the deb2lzm command, the syntax being deb2lzm source_filename.deb [output_file.lzm]. Additionally one can create Slax modules from folders containing the full path of the folders and files intended to be installed using dir2lzm, the syntax being dir2lzm source_directory output_file.lzm. An example of a folder made to place a file entitled 1.txt in a folder located at /root/Desktop/1/ would contain the following file and folders:

/root/
/root/Desktop/
/root/Desktop/1/
/root/Desktop/1/1.txt

Slax stores all its modules in compressed read-only files (SquashFS file system images using the LZMA compression patches). The various modules are stacked together to build the complete Slax root file system. A supplemental writable layer (a TmpFS file system) is put on the top of the stack to implement the write functionality.

The stackable file system of choice changed between Slax 5 (UnionFS) and 6 (AuFS), as did the module file name extension (changed from .mo to .lzm). A Live USB of SLAX can be created manually or with UNetbootin ^[2].
