# This script can perform the following changes on
# the USB version of on Slackware Live Edition.
# - upgrade the kernel and modules
# - add network support modules for PXE boot (if missing)
# - increase (or decrease) USB wait time during boot
# - replace the Live init script inside the initrd image
# - move current persistence data to a new squashfs module in 'addons'
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Be careful:
set -e

# Limit the search path:
export PATH="/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin"

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# START possible tasks to be executed by the script:
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# By default do not move persistence data into a new Live module:

# Replace the live 'init' script with the file $LIVEINIT:
LIVEINIT=""

# Do we need to add network support? This can be enforced through commandline,
# otherwise will be determined by examining the original kernelmodules:
NETSUPPORT=""

# This will be set to '1' if the user wants to restore the backups of the
# previous kernel and modules:

# Set default for 'do we update the kernel':

# Do not change usb wait time by default:
WAIT=-1

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Does the initrd contain an old kernel that we can restore?
# The 'read_initrd' routing may set this to '0':

# By default do not show file operations in detail:

# Set to '1' if we are to scan for device insertion:
SCAN=0

# Minimim free space (in MB) we want to have left in any partition
# after we are done.
