Main feature of Slax is it's modularity to make your own customized distro to suit your own needs.


MySlax is a windows program to fully customize, add modules, change boot parameters.


MySlax Modulator allows you to make modules from slackware packages. If they require dependecies then it'll bomb out and the resulting .mo file will be only 4KB and thus you'll have to do it compile it under linux.

Official Slax modules
Max modules on a slax is 255. The more modules added the slower load time you'll experience. So ry to combine some of them if possible.
