2016-11-29 | README.txt: mention harddisk installation option in the Preface. | ![](//www.gravatar.com/avatar/caef891534164c2e3fee7e102a39cc97?s=13&d=retro) Eric Hameleers | 1 | -1/+1 |
2016-11-16 | (e)liloconfig need patching to make them work properly on Slackware Live....The cause is the use of hard-coded '/mnt' instead of using $T_PX variable.
In Slackware's official installer, the computer's hard disk is always mounted
at /mnt so that there is no apparent issue.
Slackware Live's 'setup2hd' however, needs to mount the hard disk on /setup2hd
because /mnt is already used.

2016-11-16 | The new release of LXQT requires modifications in the package set....Added deps:
- libstatgrab
- muparser
New in LXQT:
- lxqt-l10n
- pavucontrol-qt
The 'libtinfo' package is only adding some symlinks that some programs look for.

2016-11-09 | XFCE: remove unused glibc locales to conserve space....The XFCE ISO is below 737.280.000 bytes again.
Also, the 'vim' package fits in now, which makes gvim a lot more functional.

2016-11-09 | Make the name 'min' of the minimal package list customizable....The 'min' package list contains the generic kernel.
This package list is special because the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script
will also take care of the ISO boot configuration while processing it.
A custom Live OS may want to use a custom filename instead of "min.lst",
so the variable $MINLIST was created for that purpose.

2016-08-22 | PLASMA5: add 'VARIANT' variable; sync package list to the 'testing' repo....The 'VARIANT' variable allows switching between the 'latest' and 'testing'
repositories. The 'testing' repsitory will focus on stuff which is not
ready for prime-time, such as wayland, logind (part of systemd) and pam.

2016-08-22 | Added package lists and repository info for the LXQT desktop environment....Note that the 'alien.*' package list which is used for the PLASMA5 ISO
also adds the full LXQT desktop. LXQT has a lot of dependencies (covered
in the 'lxqtdeps.lst) but almost all of these dependencies are already
part of PLASMA5 anyway.
The two 'lxqt.*' and 'lxqtdeps.*' package lists are meant for people
who do not want to create a PLASMA5 ISO (and therefore do not want to use
the 'alien.lst') but want an ISO focusing on LXQT without all the plasma5
or alien stuff.

2016-08-08 | XFCE: add tigervnc and HP printer support....While still staying below the CDROM size limit of 737.280.000 bytes,
I was able to add lftp, fltk and tigervnc (because I need them),
cdrtools and dosfstools (because iso2usb.sh needs them),
as well as hplip and net-snmp to complement the recently added cups packages.
I hope the XFCE variant now has a fully functional print support.

2016-07-31 | Add '-G' parameter to generate ISO image from pre-existing file tree....This is of course a new parameter to the "make_slackware_live.sh" script.
It was added to allow the developer to make small changes to the file tree
of what is to become the ISO image, and then re-generate the ISO without
having to repeat all the other steps (potentially undoing the modifications).
Useful for debugging mostly.

2016-07-31 | liveinit: allow modules to be organized in subdirectories....The addons/ and optional/ directory will be searched for *.sxz modules
even if they live in subdirectories. This allows you to organize your
modules instead of dumping them all into a single directory.
If a module fails to load (because it is corrupted for instance) liveinit
will mention this on screen and write the modulename to a file
'/mnt/live/modules/failed'.

2016-07-22 | liveinit: Use Shift-AltGr as the Compose Key, seems to be the sanest choice....As documented in file "/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst":
lv3 Key to choose 3rd level
lv3:ralt_switch_multikey Right Alt, Shift+Right Alt key is Compose
And as explained in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey :
There are four levels of keyboard entry. Selecting a level involves holding
a set of modifier keys down, this changes the function of all the other keys
on the keyboard. The levels are, by default:
Level Modifier Keys produced
-------------------------------
1 None Lowercase letters, numbers, etc.
2 Shift Uppercase letters, symbols printed on keyboard, etc.
3 AltGr Extra symbols not printed on the keyboard, some dead keys.
4 AltGr-Shift Even more symbols, more dead keys.
Dead keys are keys that appear to do nothing at first; they apply an accent
to the next letter you type.
Third and fourth level choosers:
Holding down the AltGr key and pressing another key will produce a third level
character. Holding down the AltGr and Shift keys (the order can be important)
and pressing another key will produce a fourth level character.
Note that some combinations are dead keys; an additional key-press is required
whereupon a diacritic will be added to the final character keyed.
Compose key:
Keying the combination Shift+AltGr (in that order), releasing these keys,
then entering two other keys will produce a special character.

2016-07-20 | Add the "multilib" squashfs module last so we can distribute it separately....The file "0020-slackware_multilib-current-x86_64.sxz" (for Slackware64-current)
or "0020-slackware_multilib-14.2-x86_64.sxz" (for Slackware64 14.2) can be
extracted from the ISO afterwards and distributed separately and independently
from the Slackware Live ISOs.
If you want to add multilib to your persistent USB version of Slackware Live,
you just copy the above squashfs module into the /liveslak/addons/ directory
of the liveslak partition on the stick (this enables multilib by default).
or else copy it to /liveslak/optional/ if you want to enable multilib on boot
manually by adding a "load=multilib" boot parameter.

2016-07-20 | liveinit: optionally specify XkbOptions through the "xkb" boot parameter....Variable XKB can be set to "XkbLayout,XkbVariant,XkbOptions".
For example "xkb=ch,fr,compose:sclk,grp:alt_shift_toggle"
Note that the XkbOptions can be several comma-separated values.
The XkbLayout and XkbVariant values must not contain commas.
You can still set just the XkbVariant by adding something like "kbd=ch xkb=,fr"
