If you have a large number of addon modules, 96 may still be too low.
This value can be changed on boot-time by the 'maxloops=' boot parameter.

Boot parameter "livemedia=" has been expanded;
Generic syntax for explicitly defining your live media:
livemedia=/dev/sdX
The syntax for pointing the initrd to an ISO image of Slackware Live Edition
instead of a partition or DVD media expands on the above:
livemedia=/dev/sdX:/path/to/slackwarelive.iso
Note: this functionality is yet untested ;-)

New boot option 'nga' (which stands for 'no glamor acceleration')
adds a configuration file to X.Org. This disables the (now default) glamor
acceleration which causes a X startup failure with the error:
"EGL_MESA_drm_image required; (EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed".
|
|
|
|
X.Org in a QEMU VM will refuse to start if glamor is used for 2D acceleration.

After installation to harddisk using the 'setup2hd' script, this
marker file is a Live OS left over and will only cause confusion.
|
|
The grep command used so far would find "vim-gvim" when searching for "vim"
because it did not try to match from the beginning of the string.

During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected.

Thanks to SangDae YU for pointing it out.

Was there from the beginning... glad someone noticed it, thanks SangDae.

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.

The script was mixing relative and absolute paths which is confusing.
In the chroot, we do not have to work with relative paths as is the
case with some original Slackware scripts.
|
|
No idea how to do this for grub2 though. The Slackware option in the EFI
boot menu "Detect/boot any installed operating system" doesn't work for me.

It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance.
