I thought i would post this considering live cds are a very powerful tool. this one in particular i use is slax, its based of slackware. since slackware is not a heavy system like knoppix and fedora the size is only 180MB. (234 mb for gcc + libs) unlike other live cd's its customization is very easy and you dont have to remaster the whole system to get it to the way you want it ( but you still can if you want to ) slax contains a directory in its iso\cd called modules. this directory contains modules you create or download. modules can be created in acouple of ways the most appealing is that of grabbing a slackware 10.0 or current package and converting it to a module by doing a tgz2img tgzfile imgoutput. you can then either load the module on the fly using moduse imgfile or you can insert the module into the modules directory on the iso( using winiso or other software) and reburn it to a cd( this way it loads everytime you run the cd ). slax like damnsmalllinux, feather linux and adios provides you with the ability to save your config. which you can decide what gets saved and to what location floppy/another hdd/ usb device/. with the insertion of modules and saving config. creating your own personal system to how you want it without that extra crap becomes very easy. i personally find slax the best live cd ive used due to its flexability. a slax hacker version is currently in the process of being created but with the flexability slax has its easy to create your own system to your needs.

Feel free to comment \ try slax and if you think that you have found a better live cd please feel free to post i would love to try it out.

sorry, but this is a really old news!
i am using slax @ university

i am aware of how long slax has been out. but its be rarely mentioned on this forum and i think thats a little disappointing since it is a really great live cd to use. the reason i posted here is because i believe people dont know about slax. it wasnt even mentioned in the archives when they did a list of good live cds.

As For Your reply.
i think instead of just going its old news and saying that you use it, you could have replyed with how you felt about using the system and if you perfer any other live cds over slax. these sorts of replys will get you member status

Yep...nice tip niteworm thanks illl wanna check it out :-)

BN SAYS:
NO THANKS!
You're at 20% now! Careful!

Thanks for showing some class in your reply, Niteworm.

I'll try this. As you know, I'm high on Auditor right now. http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/in...14&#entry107014

COz, drop the siggy. It's annoying. I've warned you before.

Much Appreciated BN,
I expected to try out auditor within the last 2 weeks but as of 2 weeks ago, my adsl modem decided to take a crap on my desk, so ive been 56king the last few weeks. i didnt really have the patience to download auditor on 56k lol, ive now got adsl back so ill try it out and tell you how my auditor experience went . (note) it may take me awhile to get it but im looking forward to trying it out (/note)

Hay I'm a Wkoppix man, I use it alot at work. So far I have found it to be a better fit to my needs, over some of the other's.

Oh and I realy like GenToo, I find it much better then others and once you get through the inital install it works well.

The url is hxxp://www.gentoo.org/ if you want to give it a try.

Niteworm,
I'd appreciate if you'd go over my tut and give me some honest feedback. I've had basically none so far.

I added some Kismet info to the tut and will post it soon. Again, the tut is more noob-oriented, but I'd appreciate some skilled folks reviewing it too.
