I read about LiveSlak I am little confused: as I understand these scripts are making live system from delivered packages of Slackware distribution, during startup these packages are being extracted and installed somewhere, and this way I can have living system. I cannot fit into this scheme process of installing external driver, nvidia dirver comes as in form of script which needs to be exectued. From other hand I read post of Tomas Matijicek (hope no errors here), that one can make live system directly from installed system: say suppose I install small Slackware system and add whatever I want to add, then I can squash all this into live system. But these ideas of creating live system seems to be completely different for me. Can someone explain this to me?
Tomas Matejicek created Slax and the linux-live scripts. His linux-live scripts can indeed use an already installed Linux system (does not even have to be Slackware) and create a Live ISO out of that.
My liveslak scripts generate a Slackware Live variant from scratch using package repositories. The nvidia-kernel and nvidia-driver packages you can create from the SBo scripts can easily be added to your custom Live ISO.
