* | Make the default language of the Live ISO configurable...Added a new parameter to 'make_slackware_live.sh' script:
-l <localization>
For example, create a liveslak ISO with dutch as the default language
instead of US english:
# ./make_slackware_live.sh -l nl
Using this parameter you can onfigure a different default language
for the resulting ISO image. The default localization if you do not
supply this parameter remains "us" as before.
The boot menu offers a selection of other languages/localizations
to pick from (currently you can select any of 'be br da gb de de_ch es
fr fr_ch it ja nl pt ru se us') but now you can create your own brand
of liveslak ISO with your own language as the default.

* | Add support for on-disk OS configuration file...The configuration file must be in the liveslak main directory ('/liveslak'
by default) and be called 'DISTRO_os.cfg' where DISTRO is the lower-case
name of the distro ('slackware' by default).
The following variables can be defined in the configuration file,
one per line, in the format VAR=value:
BLACKLIST, INIT, KEYMAP, LIVE_HOSTNAME, LOAD, LOCALE, LUKSVOL, NOLOAD,
RUNLEVEL, TWEAKS, TZ, XKB.
Since the configuration file is sourced by the live init script, it is OK
to have comments in it that are prefixed with '#'.

* | SYSLINUX: add a 'clear screen' command at the top of the syslinux message....Results in a nicer looking welcome screen when you boot the Live OS
without the graphical syslinux menu.

* | BIOS (syslinux) and UEFI (grub2) boot: enhance the experience....- generate the grub fonts (.pf2) ourselves instead of using the
Slackware-provided grub font file.
- expand the help text about the boot parameters.
- show the liveslak version number in the boot menu.
- remove the 'boot any OS' menu item in Grub because it never worked for me.
- add a bit of Grub help text at the bottom of the screen.
NOTES:
- I do not like the way how I had to implement the Grub2 help menu,
it is ugly. Perhaps the text artefacts and understrikes are caused by the
fact that the grub console has to paint on top of the graphical boot menu?
- In any case, the grub console (the black rectangle in the middle) has its
coordinates hard-coded in the grub2 source so it is not configurable.
- the grub fonts look better than in Beta3 but I am still not happy with them.
