Slax Linux
Slax Linux is a live bootable CD based on Slackware and was created by Tomas Matejicek. The system requirements of Slax are fairly minimal: i486 or higher, 30MB to boot, 64MB to run fluxbox or 128MB to run KDE. The primary goal of Slax is to provide a useful collection of software but still fit onto an 8cm mini CD.
When you first start up Slax you are prompted for a login name and password. Use "root" and "toor", or "guest" and "guest" to log in.
