SLAX - Beautiful Live CD and Live USB

SLAX is simple Live CD / Live USB distribution. It allows easily to web interface for creating tailored made build.

In additions to the modules available on the official website, it is extremely easy to create modules. To illustrate how easy it is, the following is a steps by steps:

 1. Download a vanilla SLAX ISO
 2. Boot-up the image with a spare machine or Virtual Machine
 3. After image boots up, login as root
 4. Create a directory
    $ mkdir /tmp/rootcopy
 5. Put some files under this directory
 6. Create the module file
    $ cd /tmp
    $ dir2lsm rootcopy mymodule.lzm
 7. Put this module file under /slax/modules
