| * | PLASMA5: bluez-qt is part of Frameworks, not Plasma. |   Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Updated package list for the minimal XFCE ISO to keep it below 703MB (CDROM)....Removed: mozilla-thunderbird
Added: boost, bsd-games, ghostscript-fonts-std, gpm, xfractint.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 3 | -4/+6 |
| * | Ensure that rc.pulseaudio is not started. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Readability changes to various comments in the script. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -6/+7 |
| * | Enable mouse support in runlevel 3. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -0/+21 |
| * | Fix kernel version detection....The new kernel has version number '4.4.0'. Yet the kernel package names,
like the kernel source tarball, has a version '4.4'. We need to compensate.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-15 | 1 | -3/+5 |
| * | Do not overwrite /etc/asound.conf...Slackware has added PulseAudio plus a /etc/asound.conf file,
which configures all ALSA output as an input to PA.
An ALSA softvol pre-amp is therefore no longer needed and our Live script
should not overwrite the /etc/asound.conf file in the OS.

| * | Add 2016 in the copyright line. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-15 | 3 | -3/+3 |
| * | Plasma5 Live: add a new dependency libkexiv2_4 for okular....Reason: okular is still KDE4 based but libkexiv2 moved on and is now KF5 based.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-14 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | VERSION bump from Beta 3 (aka 0.3) to 0.3.8....Roadmap:
v0.3.9: adding LUKS encrypted /home
v0.4 (Beta4): LUKS home setup stable enough for public consumption.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-14 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | PLASMA5 Live: sync to KDE-5_16.01 release. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-14 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | XFCE Live: keep up with new packages in Slackware-current....PulseAudio and its dependencies mainly.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-14 | 3 | -0/+19 |
| * | Do not add Nvidia proprietary drivers to the Full Slackware ISO....The customized ISOs (Slackware plus 3rd party software) can include the
proprietary drivers, but the Full Slackware ISO is meant as a demo for
official Slackware and therefore should not include 3rd party packages.
If you respin the SLACKWARE ISO, it is of course still possible to add the
binary Nvidia blob yourself by copying the graphics/*nvidia*.szx file to
the 'optional' directory yourself. Nothing else is needed, it will 'just' work.

| * | Fixes for SDDM and X keyboard mapping. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-10 | 1 | -0/+18 |
| * | BIOS (syslinux) and UEFI (grub2) boot: enhance the experience....- generate the grub fonts (.pf2) ourselves instead of using the
Slackware-provided grub font file.
- expand the help text about the boot parameters.
- show the liveslak version number in the boot menu.
- remove the 'boot any OS' menu item in Grub because it never worked for me.
- add a bit of Grub help text at the bottom of the screen.
NOTES:
- I do not like the way how I had to implement the Grub2 help menu,
it is ugly. Perhaps the text artefacts and understrikes are caused by the
fact that the grub console has to paint on top of the graphical boot menu?
- In any case, the grub console (the black rectangle in the middle) has its
coordinates hard-coded in the grub2 source so it is not configurable.
- the grub fonts look better than in Beta3 but I am still not happy with them.
Research on Grub boot menu enhancements done by Didier Spaier.

| * | Fix X keyboard configuration if no custom layout was chosen at boot. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-10 | 1 | -10/+12 |
| * | Added support for separate configuration of X keyboard layout/variant....New parameter for the boot commandline:
xkb=[language],variant
Examples:
# Only specify a Xkbvariant, and inherit the console keyboard layout in X:
kbd=nl xkb=,sundeadkeys
# Define a 'french swiss' layout in X, independent of the console:
xkb=ch,fr
Two new keyboard/language choices have been added which use this functionality:
- german swiss
- french swiss
(requested by Niki Kovacs).
New: if a non-US keyboard layout is selected, the US layout will be added
as a secondary layout. Toggling between the two layouts is possible using
the Shift-LeftAlt key combo.
Also new: the RightAlt key is now defined as the Compose Key in X. Meaning,
the combo <RightAlt><"><e> will generate a 'ë character'.

| * | XFCE: libevent is a new dependency for the links package. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-04 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Use more compatible isohybrid commandline parameters....This modifies Didier's original patch with a simpler set of parameters.
His recommendations are based on these threads:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023256.html
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023455.html
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-July/022538.html
The new parameters allow the big ISOs to be booted in VBox.
Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-01 | 1 | -16/+15 |
| * | Generate our own Grub font files, to fix the bad font rendering at UEFI boot....Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well.
Research and proposed patch by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-01 | 4 | -5/+15 |
| * | Updated skeleton files for populating the 'live' user's homedirectory.Beta3 | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -0/+0 |
| * | Updated package lists for non-Slackware and custom configurations. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 5 | -159/+174 |
| * | In XDM's Xresources file, try to handle varying screen sizes better. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -7/+7 |
| * | Clear the syslinux menu from the screen when booting the OS. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Add a themed GRUB2 menu for UEFI boot, these are the actual files used. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 8 | -210/+98 |
| * | Much enhanced iso2usb script....Two new parameters '--force' and '--persistence'. Read "usb2iso.sh --help".
Size of the EFI partition was reduced from 200 to 100 MB.
The wait-for-root time in the initrd.img file is changed for both BIOS
and UEFI boot; this should make boot work out of the box for most computers.
More robustness was added in handling race conditions.
Only make the USB stick UEFI-bootable if the ISO file is capable of the same.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -37/+88 |
| * | Add themed GRUB2 configuration for UEFI boot....The GRUB2 theme is similar to the Syslinux theme used for BIOS boot.
However, the GRUB menu also allows the user to select a timezone,
whereas due to the limitations of syslinux, you'll have to edit the
syslinux commandline to change your timezone there.

| * | Add Mate repository info if we are adding slackpkg+. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -3/+4 |
| * | Start Konsole with a login shell....However... does not seem to work for non-US language choices.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -0/+9 |
| * | Stamp a VERSION number in the ISO, and to the USB partition. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 2 | -8/+20 |
| * | Make the init more robust....The computer may have other partitions which contain a Live image,
we need to choose one.
Alternatively, use "livemedia=/dev/sdX" to point init to the Live device
we want to boot.

| * | Some small tweaks. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -2/+3 |
| * | This marker is no longer used. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -2/+6 |
| * | Add a softvol pre-amp to ALSA - some computers have too low audio volume. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -0/+16 |
| * | Enable NFS client support if possible: | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | Copy our skeleton configuration correctly to the live user's $HOME. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -1/+5 |
| * | Let Xscreensaver show a blank screen only. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | liveinit: add debug code for development (disabled by default). | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+21 |
| * | Packages with directories in /tmp will cause the script to abort during cleanup....This will catch accidental source configuration issues, happens with KDE
from time to time.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | Set ownership of SDDM homedirectory recursively. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Make the configuration of the Live environment less verbose....There is no added value in seeing all the executed commands scroll by.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | Mount a RAM based filesystem on /var/tmp to prevent wear of the USB medium. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Make the marker used for finding the Slackware Live files configurable....Configured in variable MARKER, the default value is "SLACKWARELIVE".
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -4/+12 |
| * | Add the liveslak scripts to the Live OS ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | Use terminus font 'ter-i16v.psf' as the syslinux console font....Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-07 | 2 | -3/+14 |
| * | pkglists/xbase.lst: add missing gnome-keyring plus gcr depencency. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-07 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | Make the isohybrid command more compatible with older BIOS....Specifying heads and sectors also eliminates the warnings about using
more than 1024 cylinders.
Patch submitted by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-04 | 1 | -3/+21 |
| * | Explicitly mount /tmp on a tmpfs, this is better for the USB stick's health....Not an issue for a Live Edition running exclusively in RAM, but
things are different when you create a USB stick with persistence.
The /tmp would then be created on the USB stick and the continuous writes
will degrade the flash medium.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-04 | 1 | -4/+7 |
| * | Fix the broken implementation of custom default runlevel. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-02 | 1 | -5/+10 |
