2016-07-31liveinit: allow modules to be organized in subdirectories. Eric Hameleers1-0/+4
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'.
2016-07-22Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.2.1.1.2 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-07-22liveinit: replace instances of 'live' username with '${LIVEUID}'. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2016-07-22make_slackware_live.sh: add only the graphics driver module relevant to the OS. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
2016-07-20Add the "multilib" squashfs module last so we can distribute it separately. Eric Hameleers1-6/+7
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.
2016-07-20Add variable LIVEUID to define the name of the 'live' user account. Eric Hameleers1-13/+17
In 'make_slackware_live.conf' you can give that variable "LIVEUID" another value than the default "live" if you want to create a Live Edition where the Live user account is not called "live".
2016-07-20slackpkg+: switch from 'ktown_testing' to 'ktown'. Eric Hameleers1-4/+4
2016-07-03make_slackware_live.sh: remove a leftover ']'. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-07-01Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.1.1.1.1 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-07-01Adjust the URL of the Mate repository, in light of the upcoming release. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
2016-06-24Add LUKS passphrase entry support for more types of USB keyboard. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-06-24KDE launcher bug has been fixed in Slackware 14.2. Eric Hameleers1-9/+12
2016-06-24Add support for multilib. Eric Hameleers1-1/+19
New parameter '-M' to the "make_slackware_live.sh" script will add a squashfs module "0020-slackware_multilib-VERSION-ARCH.sxz" to the iso, its contents based on the ./pkglists/multilib.* package repo definitions. Only for the x86_64 architecture of course. If you already have a USB Live, you can simply copy this module into the directory "/liveslak/addons" to transform your pure 64bit Slackware Live Edition into a multilib variant.
2016-06-15Fix generating the 32bit Slackware Live ISO. Eric Hameleers1-6/+6
2016-06-15Set ARCH: needed when calling slackpkg for 32bit Live OS on 64bit host. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
2016-06-15Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.0.1.1.0 Eric Hameleers1-2/+1
2016-06-15Try to support UEFI hybrid ISO better in the xorriso commandline. Eric Hameleers1-1/+3
2016-06-15Deal properly with the user enabling any optional/addon kernel modules. Eric Hameleers1-17/+0
When the user loads a non-system squashfs module (for instance from the optional or addons subdirectories) and this contains kernel modules, then the kernel must be made aware using a "depmod -a" call. The previous implementation did this at the end of rc.local but that was too late in the boot process: the kernel needs to be aware of the new modules straight from the start, so that udev can enable the hardware which is supported by these new kernel drivers on time. So the depmod call was moved to the live init script (inside the initrd).
2016-06-10On 32bit, use the non-SMP kernel by default. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
You can define SMP32="YES" in the script or in its .conf file, if you want your Live ISO to boot the 32bit SMP kernel instead.
2016-06-03VERSION bump to 1.0.2. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-06-03Add the 'live' user account to additonal groups "dialout,games,disk". Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
The "dialout" group is required for working with 3G USB modems and ppp connections. If the user wants to play UNIX games, then the "games" group membership is needed. And "disk" group was added for good measure.
2016-05-29XFCE: do not copy optional/ or addons/ content into the XFCE ISO. Eric Hameleers1-8/+11
We need to maintain strict size requirements to keep the maximum size of the XFCE ISO below 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB) so that it fits on CDROM. You can always add optional/addons modules later if you create a USB Live medium out of the ISO.
2016-05-29Some cosmetic cleanups. Eric Hameleers1-9/+8
2016-05-29make_slackware_live.sh: add "-X" switch to generate the ISO with xorriso. Eric Hameleers1-26/+58
For some people, an ISO generated with xorriso instead of using mkisofs/isohybrid is more compatible with other tools or hardware. You need to install xorriso separately, it is not included with Slackware.
2016-05-28VERSION bump to 1.0.1. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-05-27XFCE: take into account that the 32bit ISO does not contain a SMP kernel. Eric Hameleers1-1/+5
In order to successfully generate a 32bit ISO of the small XFCE variant, the variable SMP32 needs to be set to "NO" because the package for the SMP kernel will not be added (due to size constraints). Example commandline to achieve this: SMP32=NO ./make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -a i586
2016-05-19slackpkg+: my package repository is no longer hosted on taper but on bear. Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
The URLs mentioning 'taper' instead of 'bear' will still work because the webserver on taper will do automatic redirection to bear.
2016-05-17Slackware Live Edition: version 1.0.0.1.0.0 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
I think this 'liveslak' product is in a pretty stable state now.
2016-05-17Call 'depmod' when a loaded optional/addon contains kernel modules. Eric Hameleers1-3/+17
2016-05-17Fix logic errors in 'if' statements when looking for wildcard files. Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
2016-05-17Disable the SSH daemon by default and use a tweak to start it on demand. Eric Hameleers1-1/+2
The passwords for users 'live' and 'root' are easy to guess. When you use the Slackware Live Edition on a public network, you do not want people to use an exposed SSH login. If you still want to have the SSH daemon enabled on boot, use the 'tweak' boot parameter and provide a 'ssh' value as follows: "tweak=ssh" This can be combined with other tweaks of course, all comma-separated.
2016-05-13Bump VERSION to 0.9.1. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-05-12Fixes for the broken 'load/noload' boot parameters and rootcopy location. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Provided by GigglesUK, thanks.
2016-05-05Slackware Live Edition: version 0.9.0.0.9.0 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
And it is ready for a stable 1.0.0 version if no further bugs are uncovered.
2016-05-05Add PXE server infrastructure. Eric Hameleers1-0/+19
See the README.txt for instructions on how to use the 'pxeserver' script and what it can do for you.
2016-05-05Silence one "cd -". Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-04-29Update the 'timeconfig' script in make_slackware_live.sh, not in liveinit. Eric Hameleers1-0/+9
2016-04-27Do not specify heads/sectors when calling "isohybrid -u". Eric Hameleers1-17/+1
The resulting ISO will boot on real hardware as well as in virtualizers like QEMU, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, despite the warning shown by isohybrid that the ISO has more than 1024 cilynders and not all BIOSes will be able to boot it. Specifying sectors/heads to stay "standard compliant" will generate ISO files that fail to boot in VirtualBox if the ISO filesize is larger than roughly 1 GB, spitting out the error "VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED".
2016-04-27Deal with custom timezones (non-UTC) in KDE4 and PLASMA5. Eric Hameleers1-0/+19
2016-04-24make_slackware_live.sh: accept custom ISO filename without full pathname. Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
2016-04-22Do not bail out if there are no X apps in the ISO. Eric Hameleers1-1/+3
2016-04-22make_slackware_live.sh: add parameter to specify custom ISO name. Eric Hameleers1-9/+16
New parameter: -O outfile => Full path to a custom filename for the ISO.
2016-04-21Allow CONFFILE to be specified as an environment variable. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-04-20make_slackware_live.sh: fixes for kernel detection & selection on 32bit arch. Eric Hameleers1-8/+26
2016-04-19Slackware Live Edition: version 0.8.0.0.8.0 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-04-19make_slackware_live.sh: also add dependencies of network modules to initrd. Eric Hameleers1-2/+27
2016-04-17Add a post-install customization hook to 'setup2hd'. Eric Hameleers1-0/+23
A new file 'setup2hd.local' has been added to the liveslak sources. If you do not touch that one, it will be copied to: /usr/share/${LIVEMAIN}/setup2hd.$DISTRO.sample and serve as just that, a sample script. If on the other hand you rename the file to 'setup2hd.$DISTRO' before generating your ISO image ($DISTRO being the name of your own distro, like 'CINELIVE'), then this file will be installed in the ISO as /usr/share/${LIVEMAIN}/setup2hd.$DISTRO and this will be sourced by 'setup2hd' providing you a custom post-install customization hook for your own Live distro. Usage instructions are inside 'setup2hd.local'.
2016-04-13Use XZ compression for the initrd instead of GZIP. Eric Hameleers1-7/+27
This shrinks the initrd back from 22 to 17 MB in size. Also, a redundant copy of the initrd was removed from the '0000-slackware_boot' module, reducing the ISO size with an additional 17 MB. These two modifications compensate for the increased size due to addition of network modules and firmware (which are needed for network boot). Goal reached: the XFCE ISO still fits on CDROM media.
2016-04-13Add NFS root support. Eric Hameleers1-1/+36
It is now possible to PXE-boot the Slackware Live Edition. Extract the content of the ISO to (for instance) a new directory called 'slackware-live' below your TFTP server's /tftproot directory and then add lines like this to your pxelinux.cfg/default file: label liveslak kernel slackware-live/boot/generic append initrd=slackware-live/boot/initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 kbd=us tz=Europe/Amsterdam locale=us_EN.utf8 nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/slackware-live hostname=pxelive Two new boot parameters have been added to support a NFS root: * nfsroot => mandatory parameter defines the IP address of the NFS server and the path to the extracted content of Slackware Live Edition. * nic => parameter defining the driver for the network card (optional and usually not needed because UDEV will figure out the driver for you), the interface name (optional), the IP configuration method (static IP or DHCP), and in case of a static IP, the required parameters ipaddress, netmask and an optional gateway. Note that the 'nic' parameter is optional if you have a DHCP server in your LAN: Slackware Live will figure out what the interface name is. Syntax of these parameters: nfsroot=ip.ad.dr.ess:/path/to/liveslak nic=<driver>:<interface>:<dhcp|static>[:ipaddr:netmask[:gateway]] Example use of these parameters: nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/tftproot/slackware-live nic=auto:eth0:static:10.0.0.21:24: nic=:eth1:static:192.168.1.6:255.255.255.248:192.168.1.1
