* pkglists/alien.lst: p7zip needs wxGTK. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-0/+1
* Do not overwrite a custom keymap....During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-1/+5
* Determine KGEN properly so that it works for 32-bit Slackware as well....Thanks to SangDae YU for pointing it out. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-3/+3
* Remove duplicate line....Was there from the beginning... glad someone noticed it, thanks SangDae. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-1/+0
* Better safe than sorry. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-1/+1
* Some small improvements for the harddisk installer. Eric Hameleers2016-02-242-5/+17
* Define KVER and KGEN at the proper location in the script. Eric Hameleers2016-02-241-0/+4
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.6.0.0.6.0 Eric Hameleers2016-02-241-1/+1
* Update the README for liveslak. Eric Hameleers2016-02-241-1/+30
* Add 'setup2hd' - this script will install the Live OS to local hard disk....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. Eric Hameleers2016-02-242-1/+399
* Fix fontconfig. Eric Hameleers2016-02-241-4/+4
* PLASMA5: removed libproxy since that is now properly done in Slackware. Eric Hameleers2016-02-241-1/+0
* Really start Konsole with a login shell. Eric Hameleers2016-02-221-0/+6
* Make this chroot code look easier to interpret by the human eye....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. Eric Hameleers2016-02-221-11/+11
* Add a syslinux menu option to boot from local harddisk....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. Eric Hameleers2016-02-211-0/+3
* pklists/plasma5.lst: synced the package list to the latest release. Eric Hameleers2016-02-211-0/+2
* New boot parameter "localhd" to initialize RAID/LVM on local harddisks. Eric Hameleers2016-02-173-15/+35
* Fix the flow when rsync-ing a remote repository....It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance. Eric Hameleers2016-02-161-2/+6
* Add the liveslak documentation to the ISO image. Eric Hameleers2016-02-161-0/+3
* README.txt : documentation for liveslak... first attempt. Eric Hameleers2016-02-151-0/+533
* Tweaks and spelling fixes for the syslinux and grub2 help files. Eric Hameleers2016-02-152-9/+14
* iso2usb.sh: add a new parameter "-C" for encrypted persistence file....Syntax of the new parameter: -C|--cryptpersistfile size|perc Explanation: Use a LUKS-encrypted 'persistence' file instead of a directory or an un-encrypted file (which is created using the "-P" parameter). The filename will be 'persistence.img' just like the unencrypted version. A numerical size in K,M,G or a percentage of available free space is needed as input value with the "-C" parameter. Eric Hameleers2016-02-151-10/+26
* Enable more customization: configure your own LIVEDE....A new sample configuration file 'make_slackware_live.conf' shows a commented-out example of how to use the variables LIVEDE, SEQ_CUSTOM and a function "custom_config()" to create a Slackware Live variant which is not covered by the available variants SLACKWARE, XFCE, KDE4, PLASMA5, MATE or CINNAMON. Eric Hameleers2016-02-152-2/+101
* liveinit: do not give the OS access to the Live media if "toram" was specified....If we mounted the media partition in the Live OS, an I/O error will be the result when the user removes the boot media from the computer. Eric Hameleers2016-02-141-4/+18
* Download packages from rsync mirror if local repository is empty....This is for package lists in "pkglist/" subdirectory where a 3rd party repository is the package source. If the pkglists/*.conf file defines a rsync mirror URL in variable SL_REPO_URL, then instead of aborting with an error when the local repository directory (SL_REPO) is empty or non-existing, the packages will be downloaded from that mirror before continuing. Eric Hameleers2016-02-144-5/+37
* Update the syslinux and grub help texts. Eric Hameleers2016-02-143-2/+16
* Allow other people to add their own custom skel*.txz archives....Anything matching ./skel/skel*.txz will be extracted into the Live ISO's "/etc/skel/" directory by the "make_slackware_live.sh" script. This allows other people to add application presets for the "live" user account. Feature request by Schmatzler for Cinelerra-CV. Eric Hameleers2016-02-131-2/+5
* PLASMA5: Do not show the blueman applet, Plasma5 has its own BlueTooth widget. Eric Hameleers2016-02-131-0/+3
* liveinit: fix the mount command by removing a superfluous '%'. Eric Hameleers2016-02-131-1/+1
* liveinit: if "toram" was specified, increase the size of the RAM filesystem....Also, make sure that we do not try and make any persistent writes when 'toram' was specified as a boot parameter, since 'toram' means that the user intends to remove the boot media afterwards. Eric Hameleers2016-02-091-1/+9
* Make X Keyboard configuration work properly....- fix detection of german (de) keyboard layout to configure Compose Key, - actually use field #6 of the languages file (X Keyboard layout & variant) when generating the grub and syslinux boot configuration files. Eric Hameleers2016-02-093-8/+11
* Copy files from /etc/skel _after_ they become available....This block of code was moved up as part of an earlier attempt to group the code in more closely-knit blocks. See commit 4c08b1a2caae4319cd4b97a99a5c387ae86e5fdb . However, it was moved to far up, so we need to revert. Eric Hameleers2016-02-091-5/+5
* If ALSA pipes into PulseAudio, configure a fallback using "sysdefault"....Or else there will not be sound on first boot. Not so important for Slackware itself, but a Live distro run from CD or DVD will never have sound. Thanks to USUARIONUEVO on LinuxQuestions.org. Eric Hameleers2016-02-071-0/+7
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.5.1...Contains bugfixes for the Beta 5 release (0.5.0) prior to public release. 0.5.1 Eric Hameleers2016-02-061-1/+1
* Boot parameter "livemedia=": also support UUID and LABEL....Examples: + livemedia=08d500da-9538-435c-94fc-c97b1c96d1b1 + livemedia=LIVESLAK + livemedia=/dev/sde1 Eric Hameleers2016-02-061-2/+12
* Handle in/exclusion of Nvidia drivers more reliably. Eric Hameleers2016-02-061-27/+14
* liveinit: better support for german localizations....Based on feedback, use Scroll Lock instead of AltGr as the Compose Key. Also, use 'de-latin1-nodeadkeys' instead of 'de-latin1' for console keyboard layout, 'de_DE@euro' instead of 'de_DE.utf8' as language definition and 'nodeadkeys' as the X keyboard variant. Eric Hameleers2016-02-062-2/+7
* liveinit: use MARKER instead of INITRD as prefix for message display at boot. Eric Hameleers2016-02-062-31/+72
* XFCE: update the package list to match the changes in slackware-current. Eric Hameleers2016-02-052-4/+1
* iso2usb.sh: fix a logic error. Eric Hameleers2016-02-051-4/+8
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.5.0 (aka Beta5)...Milestones reached: - Option to use a loop-mounted file for storing persistence data. When using 'iso2usb.sh' to copy the ISO content to a USB stick, use the new '-P' parameter to create and use a container file 'persistence.img'. Note that the existence of a directory 'persistence' in the root of the Linux partition of your USB stick still takes precedence over the file 'persistence.img'. So be sure to remove that directory first, if you want to start using a loop-mounted file for persistence. - New 'toram' boot option (add the word to the syslinux or grub boot commandline) allows you to run the Live OS completely in RAM. If you are booting from a CDROM, it will be ejected at the end of the boot process. A USB stick can be removed manually after booting Slackware Live Edition. Further interesting updates: - A new boot parameter 'blacklist' allows you to blacklist certain kernel modules while booting. Some people need to blacklist the 'nouveau' module for instance. Example: add "blacklist=nouveau" to the syslinux or grub boot commandline. Multiple modules can be specified, separated by commas. - The XDM login screen now has a button "console" which lets you drop to a console login if you have no need of a graphical login or don't want to start an X Session (relevant for the XFCE and MATE variants). And many other small improvements/bugfixes to the scripts as well of course. 0.5.0 Eric Hameleers2016-02-041-1/+1
* Cosmetics: better grouping of code; additional comments for better readability. Eric Hameleers2016-02-031-28/+45
* Do not run the risk of creating a dangling symlink. Eric Hameleers2016-02-031-1/+1
* Live init: add 'blacklist' bootparam to prevent loading of kernel driver(s)....Any kernel modules mentioned here will be added to the modprobe blacklist. This will help out people who need to blacklist the nouveau driver, for instance if they have a too-new computer. Syntax: blacklist=mod1[,mod2[,...]] Eric Hameleers2016-02-021-0/+15
* Live init: eject the Live CDROM/DVD medium after loading modules into RAM....Only relevant if the user added the 'toram' boot option. Eric Hameleers2016-02-021-0/+3
* Live init: move the module loading code into a single function call....This gets rid of quite some code duplication. Eric Hameleers2016-02-021-33/+33
* XDM: add a 'console' button for easy access to a console login session. Eric Hameleers2016-02-021-2/+5
* Don't abort if the udev rules file is not present in the initrd. Eric Hameleers2016-02-021-1/+1
* Live init: add 'toram' boot parameter....This allows the user to remove the bootable Live media afterwards, because the complete OS will been copied to RAM and run from there when adding the boot commandline parameter 'toram'. This feature works nicely for the XFCE ISO since that one is fairly small. Untested for the bigger ISOs; you need more patience while the squashfs modules are being copied to RAM, and available RAM decreases a lot. Realistically speaking, your computer would need 1 or 2 GB of RAM for the XFCE variant, 2 or 4 GB RAM for the Mate variant, and 4 to 8 GB RAM for the KDE4 and Plasma5 variants.

* liveinit: fix a spelling error in a comment (nitpicking I know). Eric Hameleers2016-02-011-1/+1
