About:
Slax is a modern, small, and fast Linux operating system with a modular approach and outstanding design. Despite its small size, which is below 200 megabytes, Slax provides a wide collection of pre-installed software for daily use, including a well organized graphical user interface and useful recovery tools for system administrators. The modular approach gives you the ability to include any other software in Slax easily, by downloading a module with the software, without having to install or configure it.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
This release adds KOffice 1.2.1, adds the ability to pass some kernel parameters during boot (hold down Shift), and allows changing of the keyboard layout in KDE (multi-language keyboard).

[»] This replaces knoppix for me
by Count Brass - Sep 4th 2005 19:37:21

This looks fantastic, and have placed this on my regularly spywared, virus infected computer illiterate in-laws network as a Windows replacement.

However, I would like to mod the iso in such a way as to make requisite changes to X, and set an autoboot to X.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the hard work Tomas, I am your newest fan.
