Description:
 
Kweb2mod is a gui utility to 'webmount' .lzm
modules while running a Slackware 12.0/Current
based LiveCD.

The initial concept is inspirated by an idea which
was posted in the Slax6 todo list of Tomas
Matejicek from Slax.org, who invented the
'Slackware-LiveCD-Wheel' by creating the
linux-live-scripts available from
http://www.linux-live.org.

The modules offered by kweb2mod have to be looked
at as a first base - If you think there is a
module missing, visit http://live-modules.org.

Remember to check the 'Slackbrowser' for the
complete Slackware-current tree converted to .lzm
modules.
