| * | 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.

| * | 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.

| * | 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 |

| * | 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.

| * | 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.

| * | Fix the broken implementation of custom default runlevel. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-02 | 1 | -5/+10 |
| * | Fix for the looping XDM when trying to start a Mate or Cinnamon X session....Evidence in ~live/.xsession-errors:
XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
cinnamon-session: Cannot open display: .
Rationale copied from the page where I found the fix -
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-ports-154502-x11-xdm-authorization-failure-when-used-with-E17-window-manager-td5819660.html
The cause is that the implementation of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is broken if
applications execve or unload/reload libX11/libxcb between connections
to the X server. More information can be found in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486606
Since it is unclear whether XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 will be fixed and if so,
where, I think it is best to disable it in xdm. It looks like adding
--disable-xdm-auth to xdm's configure flags will do this but I have not
tested it. I think the security impact is minimal; gdm does not use
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 either.

| * | Add support for creating a Cinnamon Live ISO....Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for the repository.
Also, renamed Willy's 'MSB' Live Edition to 'MATE'.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-02 | 5 | -7/+72 |
| * | Add Portuguese language support to Plasma 5 Live. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-02 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'....The persistence directory on USB is called 'persistence' by default but can
now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO.
Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding
a 'persistence=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
The Live OS main directory is called 'liveslak' by default but can
now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO.
Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding
a 'livemain=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
