SLAX uses modules and they are loaded at boot time... you can add them to the .iso and burn a new CD if you use that particular module often or load then on the fly at boot time.

here is some more info on loading and using the slax modules.

thnx but still ...
i need some way to use Mirrors .
the idia is to have a live cd that can accses distro plus some plf source on a miror .
and when you need to install just run something like
Code:
installpkg something
then installpkz will conect find a path to the package (mirror or locale) and install the package.

about the modules :
you can't know what you will need allways for example :
today some person asked me that i will give him Iwiz (it dosn't came with the distro..).
