Customize your distro before you download with Slax

One of the features I always enjoyed about Slax was its use of modules. Want to add some apps to your Live CD? Just download the module, add it to the folder in the Slax ISO, burn, and away you go!
That was ages ago, and Slax has come a long way since then. The system is even more slick now, allowing you to customize your ISO before you even download it.
To get started, just head over to the Slax: build page. Apps are organized by category and the collection is fully searchable as well. When you're done adding, head back to the build page to review your selections. If you're missing any dependencies, the page will alert you. At some point in the future, you'll also be able to add them all in a single click.
It's an excellent tool for putting together a lightweight Live CD or USB image tailored to your specific needs.

Which browser do you use their website in? It never works for me in FF3, and I'm not trying IE. When I click "Activate" for a package, it tells me that the protocol "Silk" is not defined.

Mark- you want to "add to build," not activate. That option should only work from within Slax. ;)
