Where are all the pre-built Slax modules?

[Cory Stephen Gledhill]

I used Slax years ago and I downloaded many modules which were installed at boot time. A google search for "slax modules" shows ...

https://www.slax.org/index.php/modules.php

...but it redirects to the Slax homepage. Are the pre-built modules still available somewhere?

Thanks,

Cory

Have you read the documentation at slax.org?  Pre-built modules are no longer needed because you can now easily install packages through the Debian or Slackware package manager.  At least for Debian, (maybe Slackware?) this is a huge plus because dependencies are automatically satisfied.  If you prefer having separate bundles for various applications, you can create standalone ones using the unofficial apt2sb script here:

The resulting bundles are created in the "/" directory and you can then move them to a directory of your choosing on your hard disk, and activate them as you need to with slax activate /path/to/bundle.  Or of course put them in the modules directory on your Slax boot flash drive and they will be loaded on bootup.

Build modules & tamper before committing to squashfs.

For example, if you are tight on space and it is software you know well, you may want to remove all the man pages.
