| * | Add the 'live' user account to additonal groups "dialout,games,disk"....The "dialout" group is required for working with 3G USB modems and
ppp connections. If the user wants to play UNIX games, then the "games"
group membership is needed. And "disk" group was added for good measure.

| * | XFCE: do not copy optional/ or addons/ content into the XFCE ISO....We need to maintain strict size requirements to keep the maximum size
of the XFCE ISO below 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB) so that it fits on CDROM.
You can always add optional/addons modules later if you create a USB Live
medium out of the ISO.

| * | Some cosmetic cleanups. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-29 | 2 | -10/+9 |
| * | make_slackware_live.sh: add "-X" switch to generate the ISO with xorriso....For some people, an ISO generated with xorriso instead of using
mkisofs/isohybrid is more compatible with other tools or hardware.
You need to install xorriso separately, it is not included with Slackware.

| * | Silence a (harmless) error during network boot....We bind-mount /run if we started dhcpcd - so it can not be un-mounted
at the end of the init.

| * | VERSION bump to 1.0.1. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-28 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Ensure that a PXE-booted Slackware Live will shutdown properly....In case of network boot, do not kill the network, umount NFS prematurely
or stop udevd on shutdown.

| * | XFCE: take into account that the 32bit ISO does not contain a SMP kernel....In order to successfully generate a 32bit ISO of the small XFCE variant,
the variable SMP32 needs to be set to "NO" because the package for the SMP
kernel will not be added (due to size constraints).
Example commandline to achieve this:
SMP32=NO ./make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -a i586

| * | slackpkg+: my package repository is no longer hosted on taper but on bear....The URLs mentioning 'taper' instead of 'bear' will still work because
the webserver on taper will do automatic redirection to bear.

| * | README.txt: the git repository is no longer hosted on taper but on bear. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-18 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | README.txt: small fixes to sync this document with the Wiki version. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-18 | 1 | -5/+7 |
| * | Git rid of a (harmless) error message during boot. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-18 | 1 | -4/+8 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.0.0....I think this 'liveslak' product is in a pretty stable state now.
1.0.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Call 'depmod' when a loaded optional/addon contains kernel modules. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 2 | -4/+18 |
| * | Fix logic errors in 'if' statements when looking for wildcard files. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | README.txt: mention the new 'ssh' tweak....Allows the user to start the SSH server, now that it is disabled by default.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Disable the SSH daemon by default and use a tweak to start it on demand....The passwords for users 'live' and 'root' are easy to guess.
When you use the Slackware Live Edition on a public network,
you do not want people to use an exposed SSH login.
If you still want to have the SSH daemon enabled on boot, use the
'tweak' boot parameter and provide a 'ssh' value as follows:
"tweak=ssh"
This can be combined with other tweaks of course, all comma-separated.

| * | Update the syslinux and grub help files with the new 'tweaks' option. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-14 | 2 | -4/+8 |
| * | Bump VERSION to 0.9.1. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-13 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | README.txt: added 'tweaks' boot parameter and deprecated 'nga' boot parameter. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-13 | 1 | -2/+4 |
| * | liveinit: deprecate "nga" boot parameter and add "tweaks" parameter instead....The functionality of the old "nga" parameter is now implemented as a "tweak".
Tweaks are customizations that cater to specific hardware needs.
Syntax: tweaks=tweak1[,tweak2,[,...]]
Example: tweaks=nga,tpb
Currently implemented tweaks:
- nga => no glamor acceleration (X.Org tweak).
- tpb => enable TrackPoint scrolling while holding down middle mouse button.
- syn => start the syndaemon for better support of Synaptics touchpads.

| * | makemod: add interactive mode (-i switch) to prevent overwriting module file....Default behaviour of makemod is to overwrite the destination squashfs module
without asking. When adding the '-i' switch to the 'makemod' command,
the script will ask explicitly whether it is allowed to overwrite an
existing file.
Also added is a '-h' switch which shows help on using the script.
Bugfix: add "-noappend" to the squashfs command in the script to avoid
adding new data to an existing squashfs module.

| * | README.txt: fixes and updates. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-06 | 1 | -12/+19 |
| * | iso2usb.sh: script should be able to run on older OS-es too. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-06 | 1 | -2/+6 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.9.0....And it is ready for a stable 1.0.0 version if no further bugs are uncovered.
0.9.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | README.txt: suggest 'toram' boot parameter when running a PXE server. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | Without 'fsid' option nfsd refuses to export the filesystem if it is RAM based....The number '14' used in the script could be any (unique) low-range number.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -1/+3 |
| * | pxeserver: minor polishing. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | liveinit: allow PXE server to work even when the Live media is copied to RAM. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -6/+14 |
| * | iso2usb.sh: show some progress info when copying files from ISO to USB. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -2/+7 |
| * | XFCE: routed is needed for the PXE server....Packages added:
+ netkit-ftp
+ netkit-routed
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | README.txt: update the documentation for the new PXE server functionality. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 3 | -0/+60 |
| * | Add PXE server infrastructure....See the README.txt for instructions on how to use the 'pxeserver' script
and what it can do for you.

| * | Silence one "cd -". | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | liveinit: when network-booting, add MAC address as suffix to the hostname....This default behaviour can be prohibited by applying an extended 'hostname'
boot parameter as follows:
hostname=your_custom_hostname,fixed
The qualifier 'fixed' after the comma will prevent the hostname from being
changed to something else than 'your_custom_hostname'.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -1/+20 |
| * | SYSLINUX: add a 'clear screen' command at the top of the syslinux message....Results in a nicer looking welcome screen when you boot the Live OS
without the graphical syslinux menu.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | XFCE: add some network tools, remove some entertainment (to stay below 703MB)....Added packages:
+ bind
+ dnsmasq
+ idnkit
+ traceroute
Removed packages:
- xfractint
- xlockmore
- xmms
The XFCE ISO has xaos as alternative to xfractint. The xlockmore program
is not used anyway (we have xscreensaver).
XMMS was a hard call but there's audacious still.
In return, you get useful stuff like nslookup and host, and dnsmasq is
required by the PXE server (soon to be added).

| * | Update the 'timeconfig' script in make_slackware_live.sh, not in liveinit. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-29 | 2 | -2/+9 |
| * | Do not specify heads/sectors when calling "isohybrid -u"....The resulting ISO will boot on real hardware as well as in virtualizers
like QEMU, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, despite the warning shown by
isohybrid that the ISO has more than 1024 cilynders and not all BIOSes
will be able to boot it.
Specifying sectors/heads to stay "standard compliant" will generate ISO
files that fail to boot in VirtualBox if the ISO filesize is larger
than roughly 1 GB, spitting out the error "VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED".

| * | Update syslinux & grub help files with latest boot parameter info. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-24 | 5 | -3/+40 |
| * | Fix the package list for PLASMA5. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-24 | 1 | -2/+1 |
| * | make_slackware_live.sh: accept custom ISO filename without full pathname. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-24 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | Do not bail out if there are no X apps in the ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-22 | 1 | -1/+3 |
| * | iso2usb.sh: fix detection of UEFI support in the ISO image file. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-22 | 1 | -5/+2 |
| * | liveinit: make the DHCP wait time configurable and set a longer default....New boot parameter:
dhcpwait=<numseconds>
Maximum wait time for the DHCP client to configure a network interface
(new default: 20 seconds, was 10 seconds).
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-22 | 2 | -7/+14 |
| * | make_slackware_live.sh: add parameter to specify custom ISO name....New parameter:
-O outfile => Full path to a custom filename for the ISO.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-22 | 1 | -9/+16 |
