Hi,

Maybe looking at Eric's blog will help you too understand.

As announced before, I have “re-written” the original blog post on Slackware Live and saved the old text in a new article so that it does not get lost in history. The URL of the original article is visited a lot and I do not want people reading that original article to think that this project is still in beta, immature and not usable.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Your SLE, while reminiscent, does differ, besides it's "vanilla" Slackware (to my liking):

Different module extension (certainly due to structure differences?)
bits here and there I didn't have time to explore (yet)

Was it done from scratch?

YEs, it was done from scratch with different goals than SLAX/Porteus and a different mechanism (overlayfs instead of aufs/unionfs). The modules are all made with squashfs-tools but I chose my own file extension because I do not think mine and their modules are 100% compatible.

Kind thanks it was an enjoyable read:

A great project from inception to realization

@Alien BOB
I just started exploring Your excellent brainchild.

Quite different than Porteus/SLAX indeed, although "cheat-codes" are somewhat similar (yet not same)

I think I try get an 32bit XFCE on a flash for exercise

therefrom maybe for arm too (at least the u-boot machines)?

As time permits
