Well, I build Slax this way:
1) install Debian from minimal netinst ISO to hard disk
2) boot it
3) download and extract liveKit to /tmp
4) cd /tmp/linux-live-master/Slax/debian
5) ./build
6) see /tmp for scripts to make ISO
Then I need to boot the generated ISO and I can setup additional
software, like install Xorg, then use savechanges to make the module,
add it to ISO again and boot it and build another Slax base module.
So basically there is no simple one-script-for-all yet.

I'd like to try apply Linux Live Kit to Devuan Minimal Live:
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie/minimal-live/
Not due to the "systemd war", but because it is based on a 586 non-PAE kernel and because it is extremely light on resource.
But before I'd like to know if Linux Live Kit can be applied to it, due to missing systemd and the aufs support.

I tried to download Debian net-install and it seems it doesn't contain aufs.ko kernel.
How did you obtained aufs to build Slax kernel?
Which is the reason you did not use overlayfs, that seems to be more popular?

You can get aufs.ko with this command:
apt install aufs-dkms
You may need to run it AFTER your system is compressed to .sb file,
because installing aufs-dkms adds tons of things like compiler etc,
but what you only want is aufs.ko after the installation is complete
I am not using overlayfs because last time I tried it, it was not
working properly.

To better understand:
- aufs.ko module is needed in initrfs.img ;
- it is not needed in 01-core.sb or other modules.
So I have to:
- prepare "my debian based distro" as I prefer, without installation of aufs-dkms;
- launch the build script of Live Kit and keep only the 01-core.sb file from the output;
- install aufs-dkms in the "my debian based distro";
- launch the build script of Live Kit and keep only the initramfs.img from the new output.
Is there any easier way?
I successfully applied Live Kit on Devuan, but, for now, I kept "tons of things like compiler etc" in the output. Furthermore I get the INIT message:
"ERROR: could not open /proc/stat: No such file or directory".
But, after this, the system boots anyway and it seems to run fine.

For a given kernel (4.9.0-8-686-pae here below), I found it's enough to:
- retrieve aufs.ko file from /lib/modules/4.9.0-8-686-pae/kernel/fs/aufs/ folder;
- copy the module aufs.ko in /lib/modules/4.9.0-8-686-pae/kernel/fs/aufs/ folder of the new distro not having aufs;
- run "depmod" command as root.

Does anybody knows how to solve this trivial error?

The current debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso is 350mb.
Your slax-64bit-9.9.1 iso, incl. 01-core.sb, 02-xorg.sb and 03-desktop.sb, is 145m.
I haven't (yet) found any step-by-step guides on what to trim to reach the same minimalixm and isn't linux savvy enought to parse:
Remove all unnecessary files, to make your Live Linux system as small as possible (this step is optional).
