2020-12-05 | make_slackware_live.sh: expand the '-t' parameter functionality...Add a new value 'bloat'. Possible values are now:
-t <none|doc|mandoc|bloat>
With the documentation:
Trim the ISO (remove man and/or doc and/or bloat).
The 'value 'doc' will cause most of the documentation to be removed
(READMEs and LICENSE files will be retained). Using 'mandoc' will not just
remove documentation but additionally all man pages from the ISO.
The value 'bloat' removes a lot more, like static libraries, big shared
libraries, un-needed binaries etc. This is what is used by default when the
'XFCE' live variant is built to ensure that the ISO size stays below 700MB.
Note that from now on, you can build a XFCE ISO that has *nothing* pruned
at all! This will increase the size of the ISO, but if you were not going
to burn the ISO to a CDROM medium then that ISO size is not relevant anyway.
Example commandline:
# make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -t none -c zstd
This will generate a XFCE ISO without any 'bloat' removed, and using 'zstd'
compression instead of 'xz' which will increase the size with an additional
10% but will cause the Live OS to boot significantly faster due to faster
decompression speeds of zstd.

2020-12-05 | Add package blacklist per variant...This was needed when new ibus based imput-methods were added to testing
'vtown' and all scim packages needed to be blacklisted.
Also, fixed a syntax issue in the package installation function.

2020-12-05 | XFCE: use mcpp as preprocessor to determine XDM login-box position...Since gcc was removed from the XFCE Live, but XDM needs a C Preprocessor
in order to calculate the position of the login box on the screen,
I added 'mcpp' as an external package. Mcpp is a small C preprocessor which
is sufficiently compatible with cpp.

2020-12-05 | setup2hd: major changes...- use $DIALOG instead of calling dialog; hopefully we can use Xdialog
at some time
- warn user if terminal is too small to display fdisk/gdisk interfaces
- improve installation time of squashfs modules to harddisk with a factor 6,
by using a different way to show progress
- tweak dialogs so that they show less empty space
- if possible, set sane default selections in menu's to make the installation
process smoother
- fix many small bugs in user account creation, password dialog, user config
extraction, removal of redundant configuration questions etc
