About SLAX - Live CD
SLAX is a small distro which fits on a small (3.14") CD-ROM disc. It
runs directly from the CD (or USB) without installing to the hard disk.
It is based on
the Slackware
Linux distribution and uses the Unification File System,
allowing read-only filesystem to behave as a writable one, saving all
changes to memory.
Slax has support for 28 different languages.
