On more recent computers, the possibility to boot directly Slaxfrom a USB drive represents an advantage over booting from a CD.Since USB drives are writable media, it is easier to modify thecontents of the installation. The stackable file system of choice changed between Slaxversions 5 (UnionFS) and 6(AuFS), as didthe module file name extension (changed from.
