Additional software can be added and removed, using Slax modules. A traditional [[package management system\|package manager]] such as Debian's [[Advanced Packaging Tool\|APT]] is not required to load additional software; Slax modules are completely self-contained. However, APT is fully supported. Users can also modify the default CD image or USB drive installation to customize the packages available in the distribution on boot. Slax also allows Debian packages to be converted into Slax modules. Slax modules are compressed read-only [[SquashFS]] [[file system]] images that are compressed with a [[Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm\|LZMA]] compressor. The various modules are stacked together to build the complete Slax [[root directory]]. A supplemental writable layer (a [[tmpfs]] file system) is put on the top of the stack to implement the write functionality.
