SLAX is a small bootable CD containing the Linux operating system. It runs Linux directly from the CD (or USB) without installing.
The Live CD described here is based on the Slackware Linux distribution and is downloadable from this website as an ISO image.
The primary goal of SLAX is to provide a wide collection of useful software while keeping the cds image small enough to be written to a 185 MB CD-R(W) medium (small 8 cm CD). SLAX boots directly from the CD or USB devices and it provides a full featured Linux operating system.
All your available partitions and data storage devices (CD-ROM, USB storage devices, etc.) should be recognized at boot and should be mounted to /mnt/xx. As an example, "disc0part1" may be assigned to the first partition on your primary hard drive, "disc1part1" for your USB storage device, or "cdrom0" for your CD-ROM drive. SLAX will never write anything to the mounted devices. Mounting is safe and does not change the data.
After booting, you should be able to login as a "root", with the password "toor"; both without quotes, of course :)
When logged in, you have many options. At the shell prompt, you may start Midnight Commander (type "mc" to the console), play some music from your hard drive (type "play /mnt/path/file.mp3"), adjust your audio volume (type "alsamixer"), configure IP address (type "netconfig") or browse web pages with the text-based browser (type "lynx http://url").
To start the graphical environment included with SLAX, type "gui" (for graphical user interface). It will attempt to autoconfigure your graphics card, monitor, keyboard and mice, and if successful it will run an X session with KDE. Im pretty sure that you will know how to get around at this point. :-) Use "guisafe" instead of "gui" for safe-mode (VESA framebuffer) without autodetection.
In the unfortunate case your mouse doesnt work, try to move it for a few seconds to see if it will be autodetected. If it isnt, shut down Xwindow (press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and start it again. If this wont help then you are using something I have not included in the autoconfiguration process (COM2 mouse?). If you are comfortable with bash, or you atleast understand how to make your favorite mouse function under Linux, try to modify the symbolic link /dev/mouse manually.
If you dont like the autoconfigured screen resolution, refresh rate, or the K Desktop Environment, start "gui" with some additional options. Try for example "gui 800x600 60", where 800x600 is the desired screen resolution and 60 is the desired refresh rate. Fluxbox is one of the other window managers included and may be called with "guifast" or "gui fluxbox". In any event, type "gui --help" for more information.
All scripts and source code are available and can be used to build your own Live CD.
SLAX is available as an ISO image of the CD. It fits on small 8cm CD-R(W). Burn it with your favorite cd-writing software and then boot from the CD.
You might want to check your BIOS to assure its set to boot the CD prior the disc.
Enhancements:
- added KDE 3.5.4 with Slackware 11 fixes for media:/ URL in konqueror
- probeusb parameter now sleeps delay_use+1 seconds to wait for USB devices
- (this usually defaults to 6 seconds)
- fixed fuse libraries, which were missing in rc1 version
- added newest NTFS-3g beta version, NTFS writing now works, I hope

webCDwriter can be used to make the CD- and DVD-writer(s) connected to a Linux box available to all users in your network.
It consists of the server CDWserver and the clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the CD-writer using cdrecord.
webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs within your browser or by Java Web Start, assists you when putting together a CD, and transmits the files. Finally rcdrecord is a command line client that tries to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the network with full multi-user support.
Main features:
- multi user support
- the client webCDcreator can run as a JavaTM Web Start application or as an applet within your browser
- fully web-based - no installation on the clients
- supports data CDs, audio CDs and multisession
- use the image of a bootable floppy to make a bootable CD for PCs
- the ISO image of data CDs is created while burning (saves time and disk space)
- MP3 decoding for audio CDs using mpg123
- multi writer support (connected to the same server) burning independent sessions
- export of server directories
- verifying the CD after writing it (optional)
- copying a data CD in a CD-ROM drive on the server "on the fly" to the CD-writer
- user accounts
- upload the files from one machine and burn them by another one
- command line client rcdrecord
Internationalization:
- Catalannew, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Korean and Spanish web pages
- Catalannew, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sloveniannew, Spanish and Swedish messages in webCDcreator
- If you get empty boxes instead of the characters, try to modify your font.properties file.
- Note: Chinese and Korean support is still experimental. I need feedback on this!

m3u2toc is a Perl script which creates a CD-Text enabled cdrdao TOC file from a XMMS MP3 playlist.

Theres lots of scripts out there to help you burn MP3s as CD audio, but none Ive seen that make a point of writing matching CD-Text data. This script takes the pain out of manually preparing a TOC file with CD-Text author and title data by extracting that info from MP3 ID3 tags.

This script also differs from others by not being an end to end solution for MP3 to CD audio burning. It will take a M3U playlist and produce a TOC file and thats it. Decoding MP3s and running cdrdao to burn them is your job. (Although Ill implement decoding if theres demand for it).

I like small programs that tackle individual problems and solve them well, rather than monolithic ones that try to do everything and fail badly.

Four simple steps to burn:
- complile and save a playlist in XMMS (ensuring ID3 tags are filled).
- set output plugin in XMMS to "disk writer" and decode MP3s.
- run m3u2toc on playlist file to make a TOC file complete with author and title CD-Text data.
- then just run cdrdao using the TOC file and let the CD burn.
