How do I generate a .iso that boots live from slackware?

I installed Slackware live mate and configure some things and install programs .. how can I re-package the system to boot with the configurations I made and installed as is?
I already used liveslak but when running it is generated another new iso of the internet

Welcome to this forum, Marlon701.

Quoting the excellent document from Eric Hameleers, under Using the Customization Feature of the Live OS

Quote:

you can define a function “custom_config()” where you can add all your custom post-installation steps that are not covered in the “make_slackware_live.sh” script itself

However, it is probably easier and more flexible to transfer the ISO content to an USB stick and set a 'persistence' file or directory that will record the changes you make, not to loose them across reboots: see under Transfering ISO content to USB stick. This can't be done using an optical media like a CD or DVD because an ISO 9660 file system is read-only by design.

I do not want persistence I also need to distribute them in cd .. users who pass it to usb choose if they want persistence or not .. I need a .iso with everything for cd / dvd

Well, in that case you will need to write a custom_config() function then build an ISO that you will distribute.

Alms, I never heard before about wifislack. I am downloading the current ISO, just out of curiosity and will have a look at the live scripts in www.downloadwireless.net.

However a quick look at the Basic Guide and the forum gave me no clue on how include customized settings in the ISO with wifislack. Maybe that's because I don't read Spanish so well (although Google Translate helped me). Could you provide a link to a document explaining how it can be done?

I installed wifislack64 in a VM, that led me to discover the QTGZMnager package manager I had never heard of, although it be available on slackbuilds.org. I see a lot of overlay modules (wifislax64.txt is an output of "df -h"). I will have a look at the initramfs later.

I understand that this satisfies my curiosity but doesn't answer you help request, sorry.
