These guys don't hang about: DistroWatch Barely three days after version 5.1.5, the SLAX project has announced the availability of SLAX 5.1.6: "A new version of SLAX is available. The main added feature is NTFS write support. The default behaviour didn't change, SLAX still mounts NTFS volumes read-only. But you can mount it manually with read-write support by using the command 'ntfsmount'. It allows you to safely edit all existing files on NTFS partitions. You can also create or delete files, this will either succeed or it will be refused. Please note that refusal to do an operation does not mean the volume will be corrupted. Actually it means just the opposite: it's a guarantee that your data is safe." See the latest SLAX changelog for further details. Download: slax-5.1.6.iso (192MB, MD5).
Well neither actually, B SLAX uses special modules to install programs and utilities. Although it's based on Slackware, it's actually pretty unique. If you want to install SLAX on a pendrive you should download 'My Slax Creator'. Theres a link for it in 'Linux on a USB Pendrive' in my signature.
I thought i'd chime in and let everybody know, that the My SLAX Creator has the ability to create it's own modules using the My SLAX Modulator. Just download whatever package you want in .tgz format, and it can convert it to .mo format for use in SLAX
