Kweb2mod GUI utility enables webmounting of .lzm modules in Slackware 12.0/Current based LiveCD.
Kweb2mod is a gui utility designed to 'webmount' .lzm modules while running a Slackware 12.0/Current based LiveCD. The concept behind the software was inspired by an idea originally posted in the Slax6 todo list by Tomas Matejicek from Slax.org. This led to the creation of the linux-live-scripts available from , as well as the development of the 'Slackware-LiveCD-Wheel'.
Kweb2mod provides users with a selection of modules to choose from, which should be regarded as a starting point. If you require a specific module that isn't listed, it's worth checking the 'Slackbrowser' for the complete Slackware-current tree converted to .lzm modules.
Some of the standout features of Kweb2mod include: the ability to mount modules via httpfs; dependency checking for modules that need to be mounted; space and bandwidth saving by fetching only modules that are not already installed locally; and the ability to unmount modules in LiveCD mode. Additionally, there is integration in KDE system menu, and users are able to adjust the software to use a custom mirror by editing /etc/web2mod/web2modrc.
The latest release of Kweb2mod contains several scripts designed to help users learn more about how httpfs works. If you're in need of a gui utility to webmount .lzm modules while running a Slackware 12.0/Current based LiveCD, Kweb2mod is definitely worth checking out.
