2017-09-19Add upslak.sh, a script to tweak the Live USB stick. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Purpose: to update the content of a Slackware Live USB stick. upslak.sh accepts the following parameters: -b|--nobackup Do not try to backup original kernel and modules. -d|--devices List removable devices on this computer. -h|--help This help. -i|--init <filename> Replacement init script. -k|--kernel <filename> The kernel file (or package). -m|--kmoddir <name> The kernel modules directory (or package). -n|--netsupport Add network boot support if not yet present. -o|--outdev <filename> The device name of your USB drive. -p|--persistence Move persistent data into new Live module. -r|--restore Restore previous kernel and modules. -s|--scan Scan for insertion of new USB device instead of providing a devicename (using option '-o'). -v|--verbose Show verbose messages. -w|--wait<number> Add <number> seconds wait time to initialize USB.
2017-09-19Add dhcpcd to the initrd always Eric Hameleers1-6/+6
Dhcpcd is for NFS root support. Adding it outside of the network kernel module loop allows us to update the kernel modules separately and more easily.
2017-09-19PLASMA5: remove the non-functional Wayland sesion from the dropdown Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
2017-09-19XFCE: remove some more files to keep the ISO file size below limit Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
The XFCE ISO is meant to fit on a CDROM medium. CDROM ISO images must be at most 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB).
2017-09-10Prefer syslinux files available on the computer. Eric Hameleers1-0/+3
We will use our own copy of syslinux files only as a fallback, because it is safer to use the versions of files that come with syslinux on the computer which runs iso2usb.sh.
2017-07-23Rearrange some variable definitions to create a re-usable block for upslak Eric Hameleers1-8/+10
The 'upslak.sh' script will be added in the near future, it allows (among others) to upgrade the liveslak kernel and its modules on your liveslak USB stick.
2017-07-18Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.8.21.1.8.2 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-07-18Run a 'slackpkg new-config' just to be safe Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
Normally there should not be .new files, but recently there was a bug in ap/cgmanager where the .new files were not moved to their final spot.
2017-07-18XFCE variant: make it fit on a 703 MB CDROM medium again Eric Hameleers1-4/+24
Yet more aggressive pruning of unneeded files (documentation mostly). Packages that were (re-)added: min/ghostscript min/libedit min/libidn2 xbase/SDL2 xbase/SDL2_gfx xbase/SDL2_image xbase/SDL2_mixer xbase/SDL2_net xbase/SDL2_ttf xbase/libbluray xbase/ocl-icd Packages that were removed: min/elvis min/lilo xapbase/xpaint xbase/djvulibre xbase/gtk+ xbase/liberation-fonts-ttf xbase/xv xfce/orage
2017-06-30Bump the version to 1.1.8.1 (for a new Plasma5 ISO)1.1.8.1 Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
2017-06-16Add 'sdhci-pci:sdhci-acpi' to KMODS Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Adding 'sdhci-pci:sdhci-acpi' to KMODS is needed to make liveslak boot off a Dell e7440 with O2 Micro, Inc. Integrated MMC/SD Controller.
2017-05-21Add mmc-block to the initrd to support booting from SD card Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-05-10Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.81.1.8 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-05-10In -current the hardcoded /mnt in initrd and eliloconfig was fixed Eric Hameleers1-5/+14
Therefore we need to update the way we patch eliloconfig in -current and the installer scripts. Patching is still needed for Slackware 14.2.
2017-05-09Disable studioware repository in slackpkg+ configuration Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
The repository metadata is not correct and yields the error: "Repository 'studioware' FAILS the CHECKSUMS.md5 download".
2017-05-09eliloconfig patch needs to be made release-specific Eric Hameleers1-2/+12
The script started to diverge in -current, and the patch would no longer apply.
2017-05-02Intermediate version 1.1.7.1 to highlight the recent updates Eric Hameleers1-1/+1

2017-04-17Set default GTK+ theme for Qt applications Eric Hameleers1-0/+14
2017-04-17Add more 'cleanup' routines where the script forcibly exits Eric Hameleers1-0/+7
2017-04-17Get Slackware packages from remote mirror in absense of local copy Eric Hameleers1-23/+35
Previously, the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script would exit if no local copy of a Slackware package mirror was available. Now, the script will download a copy from a default rsync mirror (osuosl.org) instead, and then proceed with creating a Live ISO. Another rsync URI can be specified in the .conf file if you want.
2017-04-17Fix determination of the correct KAPPEND value. Eric Hameleers1-5/+9
2017-04-16Add new supported Live variant STUDIOWARE Eric Hameleers1-4/+47
2017-03-28Check for existence of initrd.img before attempting to extract the installer Eric Hameleers1-0/+4
2017-03-28Get slackpkg+ from external repository instead of assuming a local copy Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
2017-03-19Make it easier to use another directory than /tmp for temp data Eric Hameleers1-4/+7
2017-03-19Add 'hid-apple' to KMODS in order to support Apple keyboards on boot Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-03-19make_slackware_live.sh: use right 'locate' binary when generating cache Eric Hameleers1-1/+6
2017-03-15Bump the version to 1.1.6.3 (respin of the PLASMA5 ISO).1.1.6.3 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-03-02Add "mmc-core:sdhci" to KMODS. This allows boot from sdhci cards Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Thanks to USUARIONUEVO for the suggestion.
2017-02-15Bump the version to 1.1.6.2 (respin of the PLASMA5 ISO).1.1.6.2 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-02-15make_slackware_live.sh: shuffle the order of sed operations for setup2hd. Eric Hameleers1-1/+5
The 'sed' commandline processing the scripts in /usr/share/liveslak failed to make the correct substitution for "T_PX=/mnt" in the 'SeTpartitions' script, which is part of the Slackware installer.
2017-02-02README: put some more emphasis in the ISO developer section. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Specifically, stress the fact that generating an ISO requires that you create a local Slackware mirror prior to running 'make_slackware_live.sh', since the script will not download official Slackware packages, only 3rd party packages.
2017-01-26Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.6.1.1.6 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-01-24Bump the version to 1.1.5.1 (development version for QA testing) Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-01-23The liveinit script is a template too and cannot be used as-is. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
This file was forgotten in the previous commit. It has now also been given a '.tpl' extension in the liveslak sources, to indicate that it is a template and not usable as-is. The 'make_slackware_live.sh' script parses the template file and performs a series of variable substitutions to generate the final 'init' script inside the initrd of the ISO image.
2017-01-23Make it obvious that some scripts are templates and cannot be used as-is. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
This affects: - pxeserver - setup2hd Both have been renamed with extension '.tpl' as indication that they are templates. The 'make_slackware_live.sh' script performs a series of substitutions on them to produce the actual scripts inside the ISO.
2017-01-23Add '2017' to the copyright statements. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-01-23setup2hd: more polishing of the Slackware installer scripts. Eric Hameleers1-2/+16
Hard-coded '/mnt' in the Slackware installer scripts is an ongoing annoyance. With the modifications in this commit I was able to successfully install Slackware Live to a UEFI computer using 'setup2hd'.
2017-01-10Add 'ntfs' module to the initrd for mounting NTFS partitions (read-only). Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
This should allow people to store the ISO on a NTFS filesystem and then use something like grub or pxelinux to boot liveslak from that ISO file using the 'livemedia=/dev/sdX:/path/to/slackwarelive.iso' syntax.
2017-01-02DLACK: improve first-boot experience.dlack Eric Hameleers1-0/+8
Disable two processes that consume time or are just annoying on first boot: - do not start gnome-initial-setup; - do not let systemd re-generate dynamic linker cache on boot.
2017-01-01DLACK: Add console keymap default setting for localectl. Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
In the hope that this makes gnome-terminal start finally.
2017-01-01DLACK: create a default config for localectl. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2016-12-28pkglists: add alien's restricted repository. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Add packages from the restricted repository to the PLASMA5 ISO: - ffmpeg - handbrake - lame - libdvdcss - vlc Also, add 'keepassx' to alien's regular package list.
2016-12-16(e)liloconfig: only try to patch these scripts if they are contained in the ISO. Eric Hameleers1-2/+6
