Building the new Slax-ISO

Building the new Slax-ISO
Since the original slax-iso is lacking the 360_dvd_base_v2 package which contains all the tools for FW reading and writing and the tool to set the hitachi-drive in ModeB my goal is to build a new ISO containing this package. Credit where credit is due: The Slax-ISO is the result of hard work by Probutus, the 360_dvd_base_v2 package contains tools made by SeventhSon.

Needed:

• The Original ISO (link)
• The 360_dvd_base_v2.mo package (link)
• UltraISO (link)

I used UltraISO to add the 360_dvd_base_v2.mo package to the /modules directory inside of the original ISO. Since the free trial-version can be used with images up to 300 megs it's a free alternative which gets the job done fast and without the need for unpacking and/or burning the original ISO. After the adding of the package I saved the ISO to get my new ISO with the necessary package included.

Part 1 has been finished: The new ISO is ready. On to part 2: Creating the necessary files to boot the ISO within VMware Player!
