The Slax Tools project offers user-friendly graphical applications to create personalized versions of the Slax live distribution, streamlining the customization process.
If you're interested in creating your personal version of Slax, you'll be pleased to know that the Slax Tools project can help with that. With specially designed graphical applications, the program simplifies the process of generating a customized live distribution Slax. One of the most useful tools is the Slax Konfigurator, which is available on QT. This application guides users through different stages of creating a customized ISO image of Slax, including the management of modules, documents, and bootloader configuration. The good news is that the modified ISO can be installed on either a USB pen drive or a CD.
To use Slax Konfigurator, you'll require a few software components, including QT, kdesu, sudo, cdrecord or wodim. The other tool that Slax offers is the Slax Module Kreator, which helps convert different binary packages such as RPM (Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva), DEB (Debian, Ubuntu), TAR.GZ (Arch Linux), and TGZ (Slackware, KateOS) into Slax modules. To use the Slax Module Kreator, you'll need to have the KDE 3.5, mksquashfs, rpm2cpio (RPM only), dpkg (DEB only), and tar (TAR.GZ and TGZ only).
The latest release of Slax Tools comes with a few new features. For instance, the Slax Konfigurator has undergone an upgrade in custom files management. This latest update allows users to use rootcopy to place personal documents and files anywhere in the Slax file system. The update has also split some of the lengthy procedures into more manageable units. Additionally, the Slax Module Kreator comes with a few new features. The updated version has an added option to extract modules as well as the capability to convert the format of modules. Last but not least, the software is now compatible with GCC 4.3, which makes the program more efficient. If you're looking to customize your own version of Slax, these tools can help make the process a lot easier.
