* Implement a small Console OS - a rescue environment in RAM1.3.9 Eric Hameleers2021-01-126-58/+141
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses two squashfs modules that are currently only found in the LEAN and XFCE images: 'min' and 'noxbase'. These two provide a functional console-only Slackware with a lot of useful programs. It will connect to a DHCP server automatically and it also contains the 'setup2hd' script to be able to install Slackware from a network mirror. And since the Console OS gets loaded into RAM, you can remove your USB stick after booting and use that stick for other purposes. Use-case: - You have one computer with a network connection and one USB stick, and want to create a persistent Slackware Live on USB. - Download an ISO supporting 'Console OS' to the computer's hard drive, and transfer the ISO to the USB stick using the computer's ISO imaging tools, making the stick bootable but not persistent. - Boot from the USB stick, select the "Console OS in RAM" option. - After you logged into the Console Slackware, mount the computer's hard drive. - Use the 'iso2usb.sh' script that comes with liveslak to extract the ISO content to the USB stick, making it persistent. See the README.txt for instructions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Implemented as an extension of the liveslak 'toram' boot parameter. Adding 'toram=core' to the boot commandline will load circa 500 MB of squashfs modules into RAM and boot into a sparse but functional console environment. For supported Live variants (currently LEAN and XFCE) the script 'make_slackware_live.sh' will automatically add a menu item "Console OS in RAM" to the Syslinux and Grub bootloaders, using this 'toram=core' parameter. TODO: add this as an option to all liveslak variants. Not so trivial to do.

* Add Kwayland profile scripts to make Plasma Wayland behave better Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-0/+18
| | | | | Implementing LuckyCyborg's proposal from this post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/requests-for-current-14-2-15-0-a-4175620463/page432.html#post6206168 Let's see whether this works.
* Add a .screenrc file for some more comfort during SCREEN sessions Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-0/+43

* Fix the rc.gpm script generation Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-13/+14
|
* No longer make 'us american english' the default for liveslak Eric Hameleers2021-01-122-5/+13
| | | | Define a 'generic english' to be the new default, with UTC as its timezone.
* liveinit: avoid an error visible during boot Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-1/+2
|
* Re-order pkglists for Console OS and to fix XFCE notification area Eric Hameleers2021-01-126-16/+14
| | | | | XFCE notification area suddenly requires libdbusmenu and gobject-introspection. Also, I fixed Plasma5 Vaults in the LEAN image by adding fuse.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.41.3.8.4 Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-1/+1
|
* Add a new live variant: LEAN Eric Hameleers2021-01-069-35/+33
| | | | | | | The new 'LEAN' variant of liveslak is a 1.5 GB ISO, containing basic but powerful XFCE and Plasma5 desktop environments. Useful if you want a small-ish Live OS but you feel that the XFCE ISO is too seveery stripped for your purposes.
* Fix /etc/localtime file, needs to be a symlink Eric Hameleers2021-01-062-10/+7

* DAW: updated package lists and fixing menu icon display Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-3/+3

* Some cosmetic changes to comments Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-3/+3
|
* Further updates for the PLASMA5 to KTOWN rename Eric Hameleers2021-01-062-9/+9
|
* PLASMA5 variant renamed to KTOWN Eric Hameleers2021-01-065-17/+14
| | | | | | | Since Plasma5 is now actually a part of Slackware, renaming the old PLASMA5 variant to KTOWN signals where these packages are coming from. The KTOWN variant will be used again once new development of ktown packages commences (perhaps offering Plasma6).
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.31.3.8.3 Eric Hameleers2020-12-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Small version bump needed for a re-spin of the DAW ISO. The new kernel enabled a PC Speaker driver which grabbed the default hardware device and JACK does not work with it. Patrick has now blacklisted snd-pcsp in the eudev package, and all is well again.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.21.3.8.2 Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-1/+1

* Prefer ktown 'latest' to 'testing' repository Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-5/+5
| | | | The 'testing' repository is not guaranteed to be available.

* Update liloconfig.patch to work with the latest -current change Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-41/+22
|
* Update helptexts for syslinux and grub boot screens Eric Hameleers2020-12-282-0/+16
|
* DAW: wallpaper images moved out of liveslak and into daw_base package Eric Hameleers2020-12-285-0/+0
|
* Contribute a sample script to create a Wine module for liveslak Eric Hameleers2020-12-141-0/+28
|
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.11.3.8.1 Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-1/+1

* I like my konsole better with black text on white background Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-0/+9
|
* Allow support scripts to use the LIVEUIDNR variable Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-0/+2
|
* DAW: package list files got renamed and their content restructured Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-2/+2
|
* setup2hd: fixes in post-installation routine for liveslak to hardisk Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-13/+14
|
* PLASMA5: update the .conf file to point to ktown again, for future use Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-5/+3
| | | | | | | Of course, a PLASMA5 ISO at this moment does not make sense, since KDE Plasma5 was recently added to Slackware itself. But in future, I may use the PLASMA5 Live ISO to test bleeding edge releases, like a Qt6 based Plasma6.
* DAW: re-arrange contents of the package lists needed for DAW Eric Hameleers2020-12-135-96/+138
|
* Remove package lists and confs that are no longer relevant Eric Hameleers2020-12-135-155/+0
|
* CINNAMON: update package list Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-0/+1
|
* SLACKWARE: there is no more kdei package series Eric Hameleers2020-12-081-1/+1
|
* XFCE packages are again taken from the core distro Eric Hameleers2020-12-081-20/+0
|
* Prepare for inclusion of Plasma5 into Slackware Eric Hameleers2020-12-071-5/+6
| | | | | | | Like with KDE4, apply the Plasma5 related configuration only (and always) in case a Plasma5 installation is detected. This de-couples it from supporting only specific variants like PLASMA5 or DAW, because SLACKWARE will include Plasma5 as well.
* Apply realtime configuration only for the DAW/STUDIOWARE variants Eric Hameleers2020-12-071-2/+2
|
* DAW: move the new 'LSP Plugins' menu below the "Slackware Live Daw" menu Eric Hameleers2020-12-061-0/+4

|
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.81.3.8 Eric Hameleers2020-12-061-1/+1
|
* Add a patch for liloconfig in Slackware 14.2 Eric Hameleers2020-12-061-0/+819
| | | | | | | The make_slackware_live.sh script would abort on a failure to apply the current liloconfig patch to the older version found in Slackware 14.2. I still want to be able to support Slackware 14.2 with liveslak and this fixes it.
* README.txt updates to the documentation for liveslak Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-6/+12
|
* make_slackware_live.conf: add LIVEUIDFN example setting Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+3
|
* Add getfattr to the live initrd, to read extended attributes Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+6
| | | | The busybox does not (no longer?) have this tool.
* PLASMA5: start konsole with a login shell Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+15
|
* Fix use of 'live' instead of '$LIVEUID' Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-1/+1
