I'm Currently Working to make my own Slackware Based Distributation and Am looking for some information on building a modified installer and how to modify Slackware in general. Can The Developers of AMIGO provide any information?

Well, it's all open source, Start studying. First figure out where Slackware Setup IS and then study the scripts and modify to your hearts delight. My distro is probably not a good place for you to start since I don't use the Slack installer or ISO's or any of that. Until now, Amigo has mostly been built around Minimal Install principles -what I learned from a few hundred experimental installations over a two year period. What is available for download is the result of that and another year of intensive work making it a better distro for the public.
Almost all the spin-off distros are built off of Slackware so there's plenty of distros for you to study. I use stuff from several others distros in mine, including Knoppix and RedHat, and I don't alter any of the Slackware scripts and utilities.
Have a look at Monkey Linux, RIP linux, College Linux, RUNT, TRIXX, etc.

"Am looking for some information on building a modified installer and how to modify Slackware in general"

Besides Knoppix, CollegeLinux, and VectorLinux
(the last one not mentioned in Amigo developer gnashley's reply), here are several live-CD distros (among others) that may help you with this:

1. The Slackware-based SLAX (http://slax.linux-live.org/)

2. The Debian-based DamnSmallLinux/DSL
(http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/)

3. The LNX-BBC Project
(http://www.lnx-bbc.org/)

BTW, DSL already has a 50MB Bootable Business Card (BBC) install. Would REALLY look forward to AmigoLinux and SLAX both coming out with easily-creatable 50MB-size BBC versions of their distros for this [very portable] business-card-CD format.
Have already reviewed gnashley's http://amigolinux.org/docs/minstall/index.htm
and SLAX's http://slax.linux-live.org/download.php
for each of their sub-50MB install options.


Hope that this helps!

Thanks for the replys, Me and my developers have decided to built our own ncurses based installer from sratch and release the source code to the world .

How about using zipslack as a starting point to create a distribution? If there was added support in kernel/modules to any device known by linux, add support for connecting to internet in any way (modem, ISDN, *DSL, ++). Then you have a good starting point.

A zipslack based "distribution" is easy to install, backup and remove. Also one can later on install it to a real partition.

Include some basic application to cover everyday use:
- Fluxbox or other light window manager and support for desktop icons (idesk, ROX?)
- internet browser/mail
- text processing
- printing (turboprint(?) - www.turboprint.de)
- some small graphic games
- easy access to home directory (documents, pictures, files..)

I think Amigo Linux is genious, simple to install by unzipping to disk, and simple to make a backup.
To new users ( windows users) installation is the most complicated task. Maybe an easy installation would be the best, wiping out windows. :-) Or just install by unzip, add some entry to some boot manager?

Make a predifined user account, with rights to do tasks like shutdown, setup and connect to internet, enable sound, without beeing root.

Ok, just my ideas.

Anyway, GOOD luck!
