Changes in Slackware-current in March and May 2023 broke support for
detection of Ventoy disk on UEFI computers.
Liveslak's initrd needed to have efivarfs module added, so that
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars can be mounted by the live init script.
With kernel 6.x the content of what's found under efivars
has changed - instead of being represented as a directory with the
efi datastructures as files, liveslak now needs to deal with
a single file instead and find the offset in there.

For kdesu to work with the sudo backend in KDE5 with newer
versions of sudo (since 2022), we need to disable use_pty for kdesu.
KDE5 fixed this in git on 04-aug-2023, see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452532 but it does not hurt
to implement the workaround in liveslak, as it helps to support
older KDE releases.
This is the KDE commit message, see https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kdesu/-/commit/732dd812d67c7fa62bd187c1171950ca85259b0b :
Recent versions of sudo have use_pty enabled by default, which means that sudo
creates a PTY for starting the user process inside after successful
authentication. This PTY inherits the configuration of sudo's TTY, but later
changes are not transferred. Make sure that echo is already disabled when sudo
is started, as disabling it later has no effect on the nested PTY.

Therefore, pruning starts for the SLACKWARE Live ISO. Too bad really.
Removed are some packages that are relatively big and arbitrarily
not used that much (quite a personal opinion of course).
|
|
More and more, non-KDE software starts depending on packages that were
introduced for KDE Plasma5.

Input text for login and password was no longer visible.

Even when running -current, the KDE Info Center will show Slackware's
stable version number. Therefore, add a line of text informing about the
development status of Slackware -current when the ISO is based on it.
