2020-12-13	setup2hd: fixes in post-installation routine for liveslak to hardisk	Eric Hameleers	1	-13/+14

2020-12-05	setup2hd: major changes	Eric Hameleers	7	-46/+115
	- 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
2020-10-24	setup2hd fixes and enhancements	Eric Hameleers	5	-49/+66
	DAW configuration is now properly copied Extracting the Live OS to hard disk is roughly 10 times faster now, after abandoning the fancy progress bar and just showing the rsync status. Use an enhanced Slackware SeTpasswd to add a non-root user and set the root password. Various syntax and logic errors removed.

2020-10-05	setup2hd: add option to install regular Slackware via network mirror	Eric Hameleers	6	-0/+555
	The setup2hd script is a modified Slackware installer. For liveslak I had originally removed all the usual SOURCE selections and only allowed for the installation of the Live OS to harddisk. However, requests were sent to also support a regular installation of Slackware using the Live ISO. That is why I have now re-added all the Slackware network install choices (via NFS, HTTP, FTP or Samba mirror). I still left out the Slackware installation using local media; the Live ISO does not contain regular Slackware packages so that would not make sense.
2017-01-23	Make it obvious that some scripts are templates and cannot be used as-is.	Eric Hameleers	1	-415/+0
	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.
2017-01-23	Add '2017' to the copyright statements.	Eric Hameleers	1	-1/+1

2017-01-22	setup2hd: fix a copy/paste error.	Eric Hameleers	1	-1/+1

2017-01-22	setup2hd: patch (e)liloconfig on the target to remove hardcoded /mnt	Eric Hameleers	1	-0/+7

2016-04-17	Add a post-install customization hook to 'setup2hd'.	Eric Hameleers	1	-30/+53
	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'.
2016-03-29	Fix the 'setup2hd' script's method of Live content installation.	Eric Hameleers	1	-38/+42
	In the original version of the script, the squashfs modules' contents would be extracted one after the other. However this disregards any package or file deletions inbetween modules. As a result, e.g. a PLASMA5 installation to disk using 'setup2hd' would leave several artefacts in removed_scripts and removed_packages and probably in other locations too. The overlay is now constructed somewhat differently, so that 'setup2hd' can access the full read-only filesystem properly; it will copy this content to the harddisk using rsync. A progress indicator will show the stats of files that are actually being transferred. At the same time, the 'setup2hd' script's language settings are now hard-coded by setting 'LC_ALL' and LANG to "C". Slackware's setup scripts parse command output and expect english texts there, but when you selected a different language when booting your Live OS, this would confuse e.g. 'liloconfig' to the extent that it failed to find the Linux partitions.
2016-03-15	Further expand the use of DISTRO variable to customize the Live ISO.	Eric Hameleers	1	-14/+14

2016-03-03	Remove the /SLACKWARELIVE marker file from the filesystem root.	Eric Hameleers	1	-0/+2
	After installation to harddisk using the 'setup2hd' script, this marker file is a Live OS left over and will only cause confusion.
2016-02-27	Do not overwrite a custom keymap.	Eric Hameleers	1	-1/+5
	During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected.
2016-02-24	Some small improvements for the harddisk installer.	Eric Hameleers	1	-4/+16

2016-02-24	Add 'setup2hd' - this script will install the Live OS to local hard disk.	Eric Hameleers	1	-0/+363
	The 'setup2hd' script is a modified version of 'setup' in the Slackware installer, taken straight from the initrd. The SOURCE selection has been removed since the script knows where to find the Live media. Except for the actual extraction of Slackware Live content to your hard drive, the other hard disk installation steps are unmodified from the stock Slackware installer.
