At https://github.com/Tomas-M/linux-live/b ... mium/build, you can see how the chromium slack bundle is made. Similarly you can make your own bundle.

Hum! 
So what he wrote was that former Slackware modules will not be compatible with debian system. Not more.

@fulalas:
As beny says wired internet worked out of the box.
@beny:
You need to save changes or find a way to bundle the downloaded packages. There is no standard procedure for making modules, though as proposed jssouza there is an example for chromium.
04-chromium-build script:
The essential commands in this script seems to be:
Wifi.
Tomas does not seem interested to provide the wifi drivers. So he leaves that to the user of the wifi thread.
wicd is now functional
Grub entry for persistence.
To save changes grub2 entry example:
Where:
slax.flags=perch
perch meaning permanent changes.

You can insert or remove bundles on the fly:
http://www.slax.org/en/internals.php
there is another possibility to add new files and directories to Slax on the fly without installing any packages. Thanks to the fact Slax is running with AUFS as root, we can take some other squashfs compressed filesystem, loop-mount it over a directory which resides outside of the aufs tree (for example over /run/initramfs/memory/bundles/name.sb/
If someone understands this one, the explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks.

with apt you can change the windows manager i like xfce4 so i have done it, you don't need a boot entry logout from fluxbox and startxfce4,i have done this because in fluxbox file manager do not exist,my arch boot time is a lot too fast ,but i think is a good base to start a devel system,btw debian for me is an alien system,i have to learn it,maybe, apt-get seem outdated

francois, what he means is any squashfs module, say a porteus .xzm can be loaded to the live system (aufs). Basically mentioning the mount commands that are used to add a squashfs branch to the aufs system, which is done by the activate script.francois wrote: ↑30 Nov 2017, 03:10You can insert or remove bundles on the fly:

Try the following: (assuming you are on the x86_64 slax)
Download a porteus xzm, say http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/Porteus-v3 ... 6_64-1.xzm from the porteus server. Save it to an external filesystem (USB or HDD). It should not be on the live system.
Next, loop mount the xzm:
Code: Select all
mkdir /run/initramfs/memory/bundles/palemoon.xzm
mount -o loop /mnt/..path..to..palemoon-27.6.0-x86_64-1.xzm /run/initramfs/memory/bundles/palemoon.xzmCode: Select all
mount -t aufs -o remount,add:1:/run/initramfs/memory/bundles/palemoon.xzm aufs /You can also check that palemoon has been actually activated by issuing:
Code: Select all

@beny:
It is delight to have you on the forum. I thought that we have lost you. Please intervene more often. You are enlightning.
I also have discorvered the simplicity and modularity of xfce4. You can work with xfce4-panel xfce4 terminal and thunar only under slax. These add enough functionality. I like the copy/paste functionality of xfce4-terminal of xterm for example. The next time I see Italy, I will have to meet you.
@jssouza:
I am very happy that you are actively involved with porteus. I think that we merited you. I appreciate the patience, the care and simplicity with which you intervene. Your clarifications are welcome.

Using alternatively with my porteus40 and nemesis-artix plank DE, slax is doing a better job on the performance side. There seems to be something to be understood and learned here.

tried the new beta but wireless on my intel centrino n6300 didn't work out of the box 
Performancewise i can't see a big difference to porteus and apt is not the replacement of my choice instead of working with modules.
I stick with Porteus.

I try it and it look nice but my WiFi didn't work and I try to make it work and could not make it work.
I will stick with Porteus too.
