* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.0.0.1.0.0 Eric Hameleers2016-05-171-1/+1
| | | | I think this 'liveslak' product is in a pretty stable state now.
* Call 'depmod' when a loaded optional/addon contains kernel modules. Eric Hameleers2016-05-172-4/+18
|
* Fix logic errors in 'if' statements when looking for wildcard files. Eric Hameleers2016-05-171-3/+3
|
* README.txt: mention the new 'ssh' tweak. Eric Hameleers2016-05-171-0/+1
| | | | Allows the user to start the SSH server, now that it is disabled by default.
* Disable the SSH daemon by default and use a tweak to start it on demand. Eric Hameleers2016-05-172-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | The passwords for users 'live' and 'root' are easy to guess. When you use the Slackware Live Edition on a public network, you do not want people to use an exposed SSH login. If you still want to have the SSH daemon enabled on boot, use the 'tweak' boot parameter and provide a 'ssh' value as follows: "tweak=ssh" This can be combined with other tweaks of course, all comma-separated.
* Update the syslinux and grub help files with the new 'tweaks' option. Eric Hameleers2016-05-142-4/+8
|
* Bump VERSION to 0.9.1. Eric Hameleers2016-05-131-1/+1
|
* README.txt: added 'tweaks' boot parameter and deprecated 'nga' boot parameter. Eric Hameleers2016-05-131-2/+4
|
* liveinit: deprecate "nga" boot parameter and add "tweaks" parameter instead. Eric Hameleers2016-05-131-11/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | The functionality of the old "nga" parameter is now implemented as a "tweak". Tweaks are customizations that cater to specific hardware needs. Syntax: tweaks=tweak1[,tweak2,[,...]] Example: tweaks=nga,tpb Currently implemented tweaks: - nga => no glamor acceleration (X.Org tweak). - tpb => enable TrackPoint scrolling while holding down middle mouse button. - syn => start the syndaemon for better support of Synaptics touchpads.
* makemod: add interactive mode (-i switch) to prevent overwriting module file. Eric Hameleers2016-05-131-3/+55
| | | | | | | | | | Default behaviour of makemod is to overwrite the destination squashfs module without asking. When adding the '-i' switch to the 'makemod' command, the script will ask explicitly whether it is allowed to overwrite an existing file. Also added is a '-h' switch which shows help on using the script. Bugfix: add "-noappend" to the squashfs command in the script to avoid adding new data to an existing squashfs module.
* Fixes for the broken 'load/noload' boot parameters and rootcopy location. Eric Hameleers2016-05-123-7/+6
| | | | Provided by GigglesUK, thanks.
* README.txt: fixes and updates. Eric Hameleers2016-05-061-12/+19
|
* iso2usb.sh: script should be able to run on older OS-es too. Eric Hameleers2016-05-061-2/+6
|
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.9.0.0.9.0 Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-1/+1
| | | | And it is ready for a stable 1.0.0 version if no further bugs are uncovered.
* README.txt: suggest 'toram' boot parameter when running a PXE server. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-0/+2
|
* Without 'fsid' option nfsd refuses to export the filesystem if it is RAM based. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-1/+3
| | | | The number '14' used in the script could be any (unique) low-range number.
* pxeserver: minor polishing. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-2/+2
|
* liveinit: allow PXE server to work even when the Live media is copied to RAM. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-6/+14
|
* iso2usb.sh: show some progress info when copying files from ISO to USB. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-2/+7
|
* XFCE: routed is needed for the PXE server. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-0/+2
| | | | | | Packages added: + netkit-ftp + netkit-routed
* README.txt: update the documentation for the new PXE server functionality. Eric Hameleers2016-05-053-0/+60
|
* Add PXE server infrastructure. Eric Hameleers2016-05-052-0/+731
| | | | | See the README.txt for instructions on how to use the 'pxeserver' script and what it can do for you.
* Silence one "cd -". Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-1/+1
|
* liveinit: when network-booting, add MAC address as suffix to the hostname. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | | This default behaviour can be prohibited by applying an extended 'hostname' boot parameter as follows: hostname=your_custom_hostname,fixed The qualifier 'fixed' after the comma will prevent the hostname from being changed to something else than 'your_custom_hostname'.
* SYSLINUX: add a 'clear screen' command at the top of the syslinux message. Eric Hameleers2016-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | Results in a nicer looking welcome screen when you boot the Live OS without the graphical syslinux menu.
* XFCE: add some network tools, remove some entertainment (to stay below 703MB). Eric Hameleers2016-05-052-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added packages: + bind + dnsmasq + idnkit + traceroute Removed packages: - xfractint - xlockmore - xmms The XFCE ISO has xaos as alternative to xfractint. The xlockmore program is not used anyway (we have xscreensaver). XMMS was a hard call but there's audacious still. In return, you get useful stuff like nslookup and host, and dnsmasq is required by the PXE server (soon to be added).
* Update the 'timeconfig' script in make_slackware_live.sh, not in liveinit. Eric Hameleers2016-04-292-2/+9
|
* Do not specify heads/sectors when calling "isohybrid -u". Eric Hameleers2016-04-271-17/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The resulting ISO will boot on real hardware as well as in virtualizers like QEMU, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, despite the warning shown by isohybrid that the ISO has more than 1024 cilynders and not all BIOSes will be able to boot it. Specifying sectors/heads to stay "standard compliant" will generate ISO files that fail to boot in VirtualBox if the ISO filesize is larger than roughly 1 GB, spitting out the error "VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED".
* Deal with custom timezones (non-UTC) in KDE4 and PLASMA5. Eric Hameleers2016-04-272-0/+30
|
* Update syslinux & grub help files with latest boot parameter info. Eric Hameleers2016-04-245-3/+40
|
* Fix the package list for PLASMA5. Eric Hameleers2016-04-241-2/+1
|
* make_slackware_live.sh: accept custom ISO filename without full pathname. Eric Hameleers2016-04-241-3/+3
|
* Do not bail out if there are no X apps in the ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-04-221-1/+3
|
* iso2usb.sh: fix detection of UEFI support in the ISO image file. Eric Hameleers2016-04-221-5/+2
|
* liveinit: make the DHCP wait time configurable and set a longer default. Eric Hameleers2016-04-222-7/+14
| | | | | | | New boot parameter: dhcpwait=<numseconds> Maximum wait time for the DHCP client to configure a network interface (new default: 20 seconds, was 10 seconds).
* make_slackware_live.sh: add parameter to specify custom ISO name. Eric Hameleers2016-04-221-9/+16
| | | | | New parameter: -O outfile => Full path to a custom filename for the ISO.
* Allow CONFFILE to be specified as an environment variable. Eric Hameleers2016-04-211-1/+1
|
* make_slackware_live.sh: fixes for kernel detection & selection on 32bit arch. Eric Hameleers2016-04-201-8/+26
|
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.8.0.0.8.0 Eric Hameleers2016-04-191-1/+1
|
* MATE: update to Mate 1.14. Eric Hameleers2016-04-192-9/+3
|
* PLASMA5: refresh the package lists. Eric Hameleers2016-04-192-7/+27
|
* make_slackware_live.sh: also add dependencies of network modules to initrd. Eric Hameleers2016-04-191-2/+27
|
* liveinit: make the udev trigger for net devices more rebust. Eric Hameleers2016-04-191-10/+21
|
* Add a post-install customization hook to 'setup2hd'. Eric Hameleers2016-04-173-30/+156
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'.
* iso2usb.sh: only umount if the directory was actually mounted. Eric Hameleers2016-04-151-3/+3
|
* iso2usb.sh: use XZ for compressing/decompressing the initrd. Eric Hameleers2016-04-131-3/+16
|
* Use XZ compression for the initrd instead of GZIP. Eric Hameleers2016-04-131-7/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This shrinks the initrd back from 22 to 17 MB in size. Also, a redundant copy of the initrd was removed from the '0000-slackware_boot' module, reducing the ISO size with an additional 17 MB. These two modifications compensate for the increased size due to addition of network modules and firmware (which are needed for network boot). Goal reached: the XFCE ISO still fits on CDROM media.
* README.txt updated for the network boot (NFS root) functionality. Eric Hameleers2016-04-131-0/+41
|
* Add NFS root support. Eric Hameleers2016-04-132-2/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is now possible to PXE-boot the Slackware Live Edition. Extract the content of the ISO to (for instance) a new directory called 'slackware-live' below your TFTP server's /tftproot directory and then add lines like this to your pxelinux.cfg/default file: label liveslak kernel slackware-live/boot/generic append initrd=slackware-live/boot/initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 kbd=us tz=Europe/Amsterdam locale=us_EN.utf8 nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/slackware-live hostname=pxelive Two new boot parameters have been added to support a NFS root: * nfsroot => mandatory parameter defines the IP address of the NFS server and the path to the extracted content of Slackware Live Edition. * nic => parameter defining the driver for the network card (optional and usually not needed because UDEV will figure out the driver for you), the interface name (optional), the IP configuration method (static IP or DHCP), and in case of a static IP, the required parameters ipaddress, netmask and an optional gateway. Note that the 'nic' parameter is optional if you have a DHCP server in your LAN: Slackware Live will figure out what the interface name is. Syntax of these parameters: nfsroot=ip.ad.dr.ess:/path/to/liveslak nic=<driver>:<interface>:<dhcp|static>[:ipaddr:netmask[:gateway]] Example use of these parameters: nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/tftproot/slackware-live nic=auto:eth0:static:10.0.0.21:24: nic=:eth1:static:192.168.1.6:255.255.255.248:192.168.1.1
* Umount LIVE_ROOTDIR's sub-mounts properly on emergency cleanup. Eric Hameleers2016-04-121-0/+3
