Additions:
slampp gui

skip pcmcia hardware detection in the case of hangups
skip agp hardware detection in the case of hangups

disable DMA for all CD-ROMs and disks
don't mount any harddisks at all.
don't search for SLAMPP CD, try only USB and other devices
set root's password to "somepass", or ask (with =ask) for a new password during the boot, before starting SLAMPP (don't worry, the new password won't be shown at the login screen)
copy all files (all required and optional modules) to RAM. You'll need at least 256MB of RAM to do this and boot SLAMPP properly. This will slow down the boot phase but it will speed up SLAMPP!
enable floppy automounting during startup. This option also causes that settings saved by "configsave" command will be restored from the floppy diskette too.
load optional modules from /optional/ directory on the CD. You can use full module name (module.mo) or you can skip the extension

Deletions:
disable almost all hardware autodetection in the case of hangups. Your hardware won't be detected at all, you'll have to use "pcimodules" command after logging into SLAMPP and you'll have to try to modprobe all needed modules from the list manually
