FYI,

I just dropped the current SLAX onto a USB drive to resurrect an old
laptop as a Cisco console box. I dropped in the minicom module into
the /slax/modules on the USB drive, config'ed it to do /dev/ttyS0, and
bam.

P4 -M 1.8GHz with a half-gig of RAM, HD size who cares. Slax detected
and used both the wired and the wireless network interfaces without
complaint.
