| * | Make this chroot code look easier to interpret by the human eye....The script was mixing relative and absolute paths which is confusing.
In the chroot, we do not have to work with relative paths as is the
case with some original Slackware scripts.

| * | Fix the flow when rsync-ing a remote repository....It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance.

| * | Add the liveslak documentation to the ISO image. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-16 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | Enable more customization: configure your own LIVEDE....A new sample configuration file 'make_slackware_live.conf' shows a
commented-out example of how to use the variables LIVEDE, SEQ_CUSTOM
and a function "custom_config()" to create a Slackware Live variant
which is not covered by the available variants SLACKWARE, XFCE, KDE4,
PLASMA5, MATE or CINNAMON.

| * | Download packages from rsync mirror if local repository is empty....This is for package lists in "pkglist/" subdirectory where a 3rd party
repository is the package source.
If the pkglists/*.conf file defines a rsync mirror URL in
variable SL_REPO_URL, then instead of aborting with an error when
the local repository directory (SL_REPO) is empty or non-existing,
the packages will be downloaded from that mirror before continuing.

| * | Allow other people to add their own custom skel*.txz archives....Anything matching ./skel/skel*.txz will be extracted into the Live ISO's
"/etc/skel/" directory by the "make_slackware_live.sh" script.
This allows other people to add application presets for the "live"
user account.
Feature request by Schmatzler for Cinelerra-CV.

| * | PLASMA5: Do not show the blueman applet, Plasma5 has its own BlueTooth widget. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-13 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | Make X Keyboard configuration work properly....- fix detection of german (de) keyboard layout to configure Compose Key,
- actually use field #6 of the languages file (X Keyboard layout & variant)
when generating the grub and syslinux boot configuration files.

| * | Copy files from /etc/skel _after_ they become available....This block of code was moved up as part of an earlier attempt to group the
code in more closely-knit blocks.
See commit 4c08b1a2caae4319cd4b97a99a5c387ae86e5fdb .
However, it was moved to far up, so we need to revert.

| * | If ALSA pipes into PulseAudio, configure a fallback using "sysdefault"....Or else there will not be sound on first boot.
Not so important for Slackware itself, but a Live distro run from
CD or DVD will never have sound.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.5.1...Contains bugfixes for the Beta 5 release (0.5.0) prior to public release.
0.5.1 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-06 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Handle in/exclusion of Nvidia drivers more reliably. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-06 | 1 | -27/+14 |
| * | liveinit: use MARKER instead of INITRD as prefix for message display at boot. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-06 | 1 | -0/+37 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.5.0 (aka Beta5)...Milestones reached:
- Option to use a loop-mounted file for storing persistence data.
When using 'iso2usb.sh' to copy the ISO content to a USB stick, use
the new '-P' parameter to create and use a container file 'persistence.img'.
Note that the existence of a directory 'persistence' in the root of the
Linux partition of your USB stick still takes precedence over the file
'persistence.img'. So be sure to remove that directory first, if you want
to start using a loop-mounted file for persistence.
- New 'toram' boot option (add the word to the syslinux or grub boot
commandline) allows you to run the Live OS completely in RAM. If you are
booting from a CDROM, it will be ejected at the end of the boot process.
A USB stick can be removed manually after booting Slackware Live Edition.
Further interesting updates:
- A new boot parameter 'blacklist' allows you to blacklist certain
kernel modules while booting. Some people need to blacklist the 'nouveau'
module for instance.
Example: add "blacklist=nouveau" to the syslinux or grub boot commandline.
Multiple modules can be specified, separated by commas.
- The XDM login screen now has a button "console" which lets you drop to a
console login if you have no need of a graphical login or don't want to
start an X Session (relevant for the XFCE and MATE variants).
And many other small improvements/bugfixes to the scripts as well of course.

| * | Cosmetics: better grouping of code; additional comments for better readability. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-03 | 1 | -28/+45 |
| * | Do not run the risk of creating a dangling symlink. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-03 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Don't abort if the udev rules file is not present in the initrd. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Get rid of udev errors about obex-check-device on boot....The mkinitrd script adds /lib/udev/rules.d/60-openobex.rules to the initrd
image, but since the rest of the openobex package is not added, this results
in a "error: obex-check-device not found".
We do not need bluetooth stuff in the initrd anyway, so we remove the rules
file manually from the initrd until mkinitrd gets fixed.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.4.0 (aka Beta4)...Milestone reached:
- add LUKS-encrypted /home/.
0.4.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | 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.

| * | Ensure that rc.pulseaudio is not started. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Readability changes to various comments in the script. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -6/+7 |
| * | Enable mouse support in runlevel 3. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -0/+21 |
| * | Fix kernel version detection....The new kernel has version number '4.4.0'. Yet the kernel package names,
like the kernel source tarball, has a version '4.4'. We need to compensate.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-15 | 1 | -3/+5 |
| * | Do not overwrite /etc/asound.conf...Slackware has added PulseAudio plus a /etc/asound.conf file,
which configures all ALSA output as an input to PA.
An ALSA softvol pre-amp is therefore no longer needed and our Live script
should not overwrite the /etc/asound.conf file in the OS.

| * | VERSION bump from Beta 3 (aka 0.3) to 0.3.8....Roadmap:
v0.3.9: adding LUKS encrypted /home
v0.4 (Beta4): LUKS home setup stable enough for public consumption.

| * | Do not add Nvidia proprietary drivers to the Full Slackware ISO....The customized ISOs (Slackware plus 3rd party software) can include the
proprietary drivers, but the Full Slackware ISO is meant as a demo for
official Slackware and therefore should not include 3rd party packages.
If you respin the SLACKWARE ISO, it is of course still possible to add the
binary Nvidia blob yourself by copying the graphics/*nvidia*.szx file to
the 'optional' directory yourself. Nothing else is needed, it will 'just' work.

| * | Fixes for SDDM and X keyboard mapping. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-10 | 1 | -0/+18 |
| * | BIOS (syslinux) and UEFI (grub2) boot: enhance the experience....- generate the grub fonts (.pf2) ourselves instead of using the
Slackware-provided grub font file.
- expand the help text about the boot parameters.
- show the liveslak version number in the boot menu.
- remove the 'boot any OS' menu item in Grub because it never worked for me.
- add a bit of Grub help text at the bottom of the screen.
NOTES:
- I do not like the way how I had to implement the Grub2 help menu,
it is ugly. Perhaps the text artefacts and understrikes are caused by the
fact that the grub console has to paint on top of the graphical boot menu?
- In any case, the grub console (the black rectangle in the middle) has its
coordinates hard-coded in the grub2 source so it is not configurable.
- the grub fonts look better than in Beta3 but I am still not happy with them.

| * | Added support for separate configuration of X keyboard layout/variant....New parameter for the boot commandline:
xkb=[language],variant
Examples:
# Only specify a Xkbvariant, and inherit the console keyboard layout in X:
kbd=nl xkb=,sundeadkeys
# Define a 'french swiss' layout in X, independent of the console:
xkb=ch,fr
Two new keyboard/language choices have been added which use this functionality:
- german swiss
- french swiss
(requested by Niki Kovacs).
New: if a non-US keyboard layout is selected, the US layout will be added
as a secondary layout. Toggling between the two layouts is possible using
the Shift-LeftAlt key combo.
Also new: the RightAlt key is now defined as the Compose Key in X. Meaning,
the combo <RightAlt><"><e> will generate a 'ë character'.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-05 | 1 | -11/+12 |
| * | Use more compatible isohybrid commandline parameters....This modifies Didier's original patch with a simpler set of parameters.
His recommendations are based on these threads:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023256.html
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023455.html
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-July/022538.html
The new parameters allow the big ISOs to be booted in VBox.
Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-01 | 1 | -16/+15 |
| * | Generate our own Grub font files, to fix the bad font rendering at UEFI boot....Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well.
Research and proposed patch by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-01 | 1 | -1/+9 |
| * | 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.

| * | Set ownership of SDDM homedirectory recursively. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -1/+1 |
