Various packages for SLAX
Programms for SLAX distributes in LZM modules. Slaxbuild is a script that builds an LZM module from scratch.

How to install russian localization and unicode support
First you need to download a module (russian-utf8-x.x.x.lzm
) and a boot image (initrd.gz
) from here. Then install initrd.gz
into boot/
and russian-utf8-6.0.7-i486-2.lzm
into slax/modules/
. After reboot you'll have russificated system with unicode support.
And don't forget about choosing codepage in konsole.
