* | Add support for 32-bit UEFI boot (disabled by default)....This requires functionality in grub which is currently not enabled
in Slackware's grub package.
If you want a 32-bit Live ISO that boots on UEFI computers, you need
to recompile Slackware's grub with the patch for grub.SlackBuild which
you can find in the ./patches subdirectory.
Then you need to set the variable "EFI32" to "YES" in the
'make_slackware_live.sh' script and (re-)generate your 32-bit ISO.
The resulting 32-bit Live ISO will be UEFI-bootable.

* | 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.

* | iso2usb.sh: fix a logic error. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-05 | 1 | -4/+8 |
* | 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.

* | 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.

* | Add 2016 in the copyright line. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-15 | 1 | -1/+1 |
* | 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.
