Hi All

How can I install aufs, lzma & squashfs modules from cdrom or net?

Note : slackware-13-32bit

thanks

Ideally the nice answer should be to use slackbuilds (SBOpkgs). But I did a
quick search there and found nothing.

So, after that, it's back to the old tried and tested way:

download,
./configure,
make,
su -c "make install"

don't forget to do a './configure --help' to see what options
you will need (or want) to set. I always add "--install=/usr" at
the very least.

Those modules are from patched kernel code, so you have to get the kernel source, apply the patches and rebuild the kernel with those modules.

I'm guessing that you are really using slax, or that you have been using slax and now want to use slay modules with slackware -is that right? If so, forget it -just go back to using slax or find out how to properly install programs under slackware. It doesn't seem to me that you know enough yet to be patching/compiling a kernel and I'm not prepared to guide you through that.
Can you be more specific about why you need these features?

Again Many Thanks 4 ur reply.

I want those modules to use linux-live-script (linux-live.org howto) to create custom livecd

Thanks

Then you need to investigate how they build the kernel they use. As I said, it will involve patching the kernel sources. Then you need their custom configure options for the kernel to enable those options plus the 'normal' ones.
