| * | Fix the flow when rsync-ing a remote repository....It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance.
|   Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-16 | 1 | -2/+6 |
| * | Add the liveslak documentation to the ISO image. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-16 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | README.txt : documentation for liveslak... first attempt. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-15 | 1 | -0/+533 |
| * | Tweaks and spelling fixes for the syslinux and grub2 help files. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-15 | 2 | -9/+14 |
| * | iso2usb.sh: add a new parameter "-C" for encrypted persistence file....Syntax of the new parameter:
-C|--cryptpersistfile size|perc
Explanation:
Use a LUKS-encrypted 'persistence' file instead of a directory
or an un-encrypted file (which is created using the "-P" parameter).
The filename will be 'persistence.img' just like the unencrypted version.
A numerical size in K,M,G or a percentage of available free space
is needed as input value with the "-C" parameter.

| * | Enable more customization: configure your own LIVEDE....A new sample configuration file 'make_slackware_live.conf' shows a
commented-out example of how to use the variables LIVEDE, SEQ_CUSTOM
and a function "custom_config()" to create a Slackware Live variant
which is not covered by the available variants SLACKWARE, XFCE, KDE4,
PLASMA5, MATE or CINNAMON.

| * | liveinit: do not give the OS access to the Live media if "toram" was specified....If we mounted the media partition in the Live OS, an I/O error will
be the result when the user removes the boot media from the computer.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-14 | 1 | -4/+18 |
| * | Download packages from rsync mirror if local repository is empty....This is for package lists in "pkglist/" subdirectory where a 3rd party
repository is the package source.
If the pkglists/*.conf file defines a rsync mirror URL in
variable SL_REPO_URL, then instead of aborting with an error when
the local repository directory (SL_REPO) is empty or non-existing,
the packages will be downloaded from that mirror before continuing.

| * | Update the syslinux and grub help texts. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-14 | 3 | -2/+16 |
| * | Allow other people to add their own custom skel*.txz archives....Anything matching ./skel/skel*.txz will be extracted into the Live ISO's
"/etc/skel/" directory by the "make_slackware_live.sh" script.
This allows other people to add application presets for the "live"
user account.
Feature request by Schmatzler for Cinelerra-CV.

| * | PLASMA5: Do not show the blueman applet, Plasma5 has its own BlueTooth widget. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-13 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | liveinit: fix the mount command by removing a superfluous '%'. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-13 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | liveinit: if "toram" was specified, increase the size of the RAM filesystem....Also, make sure that we do not try and make any persistent writes when 'toram'
was specified as a boot parameter, since 'toram' means that the user intends
to remove the boot media afterwards.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-09 | 1 | -1/+9 |
| * | Make X Keyboard configuration work properly....- fix detection of german (de) keyboard layout to configure Compose Key,
- actually use field #6 of the languages file (X Keyboard layout & variant)
when generating the grub and syslinux boot configuration files.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-09 | 3 | -8/+11 |
| * | Copy files from /etc/skel _after_ they become available....This block of code was moved up as part of an earlier attempt to group the
code in more closely-knit blocks.
See commit 4c08b1a2caae4319cd4b97a99a5c387ae86e5fdb .
However, it was moved to far up, so we need to revert.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-09 | 1 | -5/+5 |
| * | If ALSA pipes into PulseAudio, configure a fallback using "sysdefault"....Or else there will not be sound on first boot.
Not so important for Slackware itself, but a Live distro run from
CD or DVD will never have sound.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.5.1...Contains bugfixes for the Beta 5 release (0.5.0) prior to public release.
0.5.1 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-06 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Boot parameter "livemedia=": also support UUID and LABEL....Examples:
+ livemedia=08d500da-9538-435c-94fc-c97b1c96d1b1
+ livemedia=LIVESLAK
+ livemedia=/dev/sde1

| * | Handle in/exclusion of Nvidia drivers more reliably. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-06 | 1 | -27/+14 |
| * | liveinit: better support for german localizations....Based on feedback, use Scroll Lock instead of AltGr as the Compose Key.
Also, use 'de-latin1-nodeadkeys' instead of 'de-latin1' for console keyboard
layout, 'de_DE@euro' instead of 'de_DE.utf8' as language definition and
'nodeadkeys' as the X keyboard variant.

| * | liveinit: use MARKER instead of INITRD as prefix for message display at boot. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-06 | 2 | -31/+72 |
| * | XFCE: update the package list to match the changes in slackware-current. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-05 | 2 | -4/+1 |
| * | iso2usb.sh: fix a logic error. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-05 | 1 | -4/+8 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.5.0 (aka Beta5)...Milestones reached:
- Option to use a loop-mounted file for storing persistence data.
When using 'iso2usb.sh' to copy the ISO content to a USB stick, use
the new '-P' parameter to create and use a container file 'persistence.img'.
Note that the existence of a directory 'persistence' in the root of the
Linux partition of your USB stick still takes precedence over the file
'persistence.img'. So be sure to remove that directory first, if you want
to start using a loop-mounted file for persistence.
- New 'toram' boot option (add the word to the syslinux or grub boot
commandline) allows you to run the Live OS completely in RAM. If you are
booting from a CDROM, it will be ejected at the end of the boot process.
A USB stick can be removed manually after booting Slackware Live Edition.
Further interesting updates:
- A new boot parameter 'blacklist' allows you to blacklist certain
kernel modules while booting. Some people need to blacklist the 'nouveau'
module for instance.
Example: add "blacklist=nouveau" to the syslinux or grub boot commandline.
Multiple modules can be specified, separated by commas.
- The XDM login screen now has a button "console" which lets you drop to a
console login if you have no need of a graphical login or don't want to
start an X Session (relevant for the XFCE and MATE variants).
And many other small improvements/bugfixes to the scripts as well of course.

| * | Cosmetics: better grouping of code; additional comments for better readability. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-03 | 1 | -28/+45 |
| * | Do not run the risk of creating a dangling symlink. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-03 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Live init: add 'blacklist' bootparam to prevent loading of kernel driver(s)....Any kernel modules mentioned here will be added to the modprobe blacklist.
This will help out people who need to blacklist the nouveau driver,
for instance if they have a too-new computer.
Syntax:
blacklist=mod1[,mod2[,...]]
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -0/+15 |
| * | Live init: eject the Live CDROM/DVD medium after loading modules into RAM....Only relevant if the user added the 'toram' boot option.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | Live init: move the module loading code into a single function call....This gets rid of quite some code duplication.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -33/+33 |
| * | XDM: add a 'console' button for easy access to a console login session. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -2/+5 |
| * | Don't abort if the udev rules file is not present in the initrd. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Live init: add 'toram' boot parameter....This allows the user to remove the bootable Live media afterwards, because
the complete OS will been copied to RAM and run from there when adding
the boot commandline parameter 'toram'.
This feature works nicely for the XFCE ISO since that one is fairly small.
Untested for the bigger ISOs; you need more patience while the squashfs
modules are being copied to RAM, and available RAM decreases a lot.
Realistically speaking, your computer would need 1 or 2 GB of RAM for
the XFCE variant, 2 or 4 GB RAM for the Mate variant, and 4 to 8 GB RAM
for the KDE4 and Plasma5 variants.

| * | liveinit: fix a spelling error in a comment (nitpicking I know). | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-01 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add support for persistence using a loop-mounted container file....This adds an option to store persistent data in a container file instead of
a directory in the USB stick's Linux filesystem.
Theoretically, this would allow the Slackware Live files to be copied to
a VFAT partition on a stick without erasing it, as long as the stick is
made bootable and the Live kernel & initrd are added to the boot menu.
To create a USB stick from the Live ISO which uses a persistence file instead
of a persistence directory, run the 'iso2usb.sh' script with a new parameter:
-P|--persistfile Use a 'persistence' container file instead of
a directory (for use on FAT filesystem).
The following example creates a 750 MB LUKS-encrypted container file
'slhome.img' which will contain /home ; as well as a file '/persistence.img'
in the root of the USB's Linux partition which will be used to store the
Live OS' persistent data:
./iso2usb.sh -i slackware64-live-current.iso -o /dev/sdX -c 750M -P
NOTE:
The persistence container file will be created as a 'sparse' file which
starts as an empty file not using up any disk space, but is allowed to
grow dynamically to consume a maximum value of 90% of the free disk space
on the Linux partition of the USB stick.

| * | Get rid of udev errors about obex-check-device on boot....The mkinitrd script adds /lib/udev/rules.d/60-openobex.rules to the initrd
image, but since the rest of the openobex package is not added, this results
in a "error: obex-check-device not found".
We do not need bluetooth stuff in the initrd anyway, so we remove the rules
file manually from the initrd until mkinitrd gets fixed.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-29 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | Fix a flow in the logic when using a LUKS /home and no persistence....The /home would end up read-only if the "nop" parameter was passed
on the boot commandline in order to disable persistence for the session.
So, remount the media as writable earlier during init.

| * | MATE Live: removed libgnomecanvas as it's no longer needed to build zenity. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-24 | 1 | -1/+0 |
| * | MATE ISO: updated package list (some packages now part of slackware-current). | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -7/+0 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.4.0 (aka Beta4)...Milestone reached:
- add LUKS-encrypted /home/.
0.4.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add support for a LUKS-encrypted /home in the USB Live version....Using iso2usb.sh script's new '-c' parameter, you can define the size for
a container file in the root of the USB stick's Linux partition.
- The container file will be loop-mounted and LUKS-encrypted and the
Live OS will mount the filesystem inside the container on /home/.
- The LUKS passphrase will be defined when executing the 'iso2usb.sh' script.
- The original /home content of the ISO will be copied into the
LUKS-encrypted container during execution of the 'iso2usb.sh' script.
- If for whatever reason you do not want to unlock & mount the LUKS container
during boot, you must add the boot parameter " luksvol= " to the syslinux
or grub commandline.

| * | 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.
