Remastering

  • MySLAX Creator : Windows Utility (http://myslax.bonsonno.org/)
  • Scripts to remaster make_iso.bat (for windows) and make_iso.sh (for Linux) are in the root directory of CD.
  • SLAX CD is modular, that means you don't need to remaster the whole system, you can just add software you need to existing iso. Very nice feature imho.
