Well, my guess is that an average user can break Slax's package management easily when modifying that modular setup, by exchanging modules and/or add extra modules.
(so, in other words, the multi-module setup looks nicer than it is !)
Fine of course if you use it as it's prepared, and use save file or folder for the changes.edit: with very early versions of Slax (based on slackware) it was different, but nowadays Slax is based on Debian and dpkg/apt is very strict.
Just an FYI...you can also get Slax based on Slackware, AGAIN!!! In addition to the Debian version.
Slax, both variants as much as I am aware, uses an internal packaging system, you can create "sb"s
(Slax bundles) with tools included in the ISO. I used to do that many years ago, and the directory
structure of Slax allows you to include all your sbs at boot time, OR you can optionally load them
when wanted by placing them in /slax/opt directory (or is it named slax/optional...can't recall right
off the top of my head). Not sure if there is a limit to number of slax bundles you can load, probably
not, only to the limits of your RAM.
