I tried to customize slax (http://www.slax.org) and downloaded but the customized build fails to boot, giving a killed killed killed message. Strange!
Slax uses KDE, and not suitable for low ram machine. I would Slax for machine with min 256 Mb ram.
Nope, it can run on lesser and KDE is not a must. KDE is also a module that you can add/remove. But it has to be done before downloading the ISO. There's also an option that will let you start slax with fluxbox.
How did you customize? The best option is to use dir2lzm.
Check out the slax.org website. Slax is the first distro that allows you to customize the modules you want to have in the ISO. You can even save the build file to your computer. ANd load it later, to download the ISO.
Try it out, it's nice and I added all the best sysadmin and develpment apps that were available. It seems tho, that more than 103 modules cause some problems, either that or I added some extra modules which might be conflicting. I'll try removing them after installing to a hard disk.
