can download from http://www.slax.org/get_slax.php and a Windows utility called
MySLAX Creator. You can download this from http://sites.google.com/site/myslaxcreator/.
Once you have downloaded them, install MySLAX Creator. The installation Wizard
is very easy. Once done, you will be required to download the Modules of your
favorite apps. You can find hundreds of pre-created modules at http://www .slax.org
