The Alixe project tries to offer a French version of the popular Slax Linux distribution. But Alixe comes also in English, so if you want to access the French language, just type at boot: boot: alixe load=03 * You can also press the F2 button to see more cheatcodes for the French version, or F1 for the English version. Just like Slax, Alixe is a modular LiveCD, in the sense that you can add modules to it. The modules supported are the same as the ones from the Slax website.
