* Add variable LIVEUID to define the name of the 'live' user account....In 'make_slackware_live.conf' you can give that variable "LIVEUID" another value than the default "live" if you want to create a Live Edition where the Live user account is not called "live". Eric Hameleers2016-07-202-13/+20
* slackpkg+: switch from 'ktown_testing' to 'ktown'. Eric Hameleers2016-07-201-4/+4
* README: move the syslinux/grub information to the beginning and add a header....This allows people to find the instructions on how to edit the boot commandline in syslinux or grub more easily. Now it is here: http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:liveslak#booting_the_live_os Eric Hameleers2016-07-081-32/+35

| * iso2usb.sh: make the name of the '/home' LUKS container configurable....New parameter to the script: -l|--lukshome <name> Custom path to the containerfile for your LUKS encrypted /home (slhome by default). Note: not only (just as with the persistence container) can you choose a custom name for the the LUKS container file but you can also create it in a subdirectory instead of in the filesystem root now.

* | Add LUKS passphrase entry support for more types of USB keyboard. Eric Hameleers2016-06-241-1/+1
* | KDE launcher bug has been fixed in Slackware 14.2. Eric Hameleers2016-06-241-9/+12
* | Add support for multilib....New parameter '-M' to the "make_slackware_live.sh" script will add a squashfs module "0020-slackware_multilib-VERSION-ARCH.sxz" to the iso, its contents based on the ./pkglists/multilib.* package repo definitions. Only for the x86_64 architecture of course. If you already have a USB Live, you can simply copy this module into the directory "/liveslak/addons" to transform your pure 64bit Slackware Live Edition into a multilib variant.

* | makemod: fix the logic. Eric Hameleers2016-06-231-11/+10
| * iso2usb.sh: fix a typo in a comment. Eric Hameleers2016-06-231-1/+1
| * liveslak: enhance the boot debug a bit....Some explanation about what the 'debug' boot parameter does: 'debug=1' => enable some strategic pauses during boot while showing 'mount' and 'blkid' output, so you can scroll back and inspect the proceedings (just 'debug' also enables level 1). 'debug=2' => enable verbose script execution in addition to the above pause moments. 'debug=3' => verbose script execution but without the mount/blkid info during the strategically placed pauses. 'debug=4' => dumps you into a debug shell right before the switch_root. No other pauses other debugging aids are offered like with levels 1, 2 or 3. But you can check the health of your Live system before Slackware boots up. Eric Hameleers2016-06-231-5/+11

* README.txt: document the new options in liveslak....* iso2usb.sh: added '-r' parameter to refresh an existing USB Live stick with data from a new Live ISO. * boot: added 'nop=wipe' parameter which will cause all persistent data (in the persistence directory or a persistent data container) to be erased. This allows you to repair a case of corrupted persistent data which can occur after you modified files that are part of a squashfs module. Note that this boot option will leave an encrypted /home un-touched! Eric Hameleers2016-06-171-0/+5
* iso2usb.sh: fix for refreshing a USB stick with LUKS persistent container. Eric Hameleers2016-06-161-3/+9
* Fix generating the 32bit Slackware Live ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-6/+6
* Set ARCH: needed when calling slackpkg for 32bit Live OS on 64bit host. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-2/+2
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.0.1.1.0 Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-2/+1
* iso2usb.sh: added 'refresh' parameter to update an existing Live USB stick....-r|--refresh => Refresh an existing Live USB stick with new ISO content. The refresh option "-r" can be used when you have a Live USB stick and you want to update the liveslak files with new versions on an ISO image file which you downloaded/created. The USB stick will not be formatted in this case, and user modifications like LUKS-encrypted homedirectory or persistence data will not be touched. The "system" squashfs modules will be replaced with the versions on the ISO file and any squashfs module not present in the system/ directory of the ISO will be deleted. The "optional" and "addons" directories are treated a bit differently: The files in there that you added yourself will not be deleted when the content of these directories is refreshed with the content from the ISO (unless of course your added files have the same name as one of the files in the ISO). The content of the /boot and /EFI directories will both be replaced with whatever is on the ISO image. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-96/+171
* Try to support UEFI hybrid ISO better in the xorriso commandline. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-1/+3
* Deal properly with the user enabling any optional/addon kernel modules....When the user loads a non-system squashfs module (for instance from the optional or addons subdirectories) and this contains kernel modules, then the kernel must be made aware using a "depmod -a" call. The previous implementation did this at the end of rc.local but that was too late in the boot process: the kernel needs to be aware of the new modules straight from the start, so that udev can enable the hardware which is supported by these new kernel drivers on time. So the depmod call was moved to the live init script (inside the initrd). Eric Hameleers2016-06-152-17/+17
* liveinit: use boot parameter "nop=wipe" to erase existing persistent data....Sometimes your Slackware Live develops issues because the persistent data storage is conflicting with new packages or data which you added to the Live OS. This can be fixed by erasing persistent data, thereby reverting the Live OS to its initial state - i.e. when the USB stick was booted for the first time. For this purpose the functionality of the existing "nop" boot parameter was extended to allow the '=' and specifying a value of 'wipe'. Note that the persistent data will be wiped before the Live OS boots, and it does not matter if you are using a persistence directory or a container file for storing persistent data. This wipe includes all your persistent personal data in /home/ unless you have moved your /home into a container file on the USB stick. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-0/+16
* liveinit: DEBUG=4 dumps you into a debug shell right before the switch_root....After doing your debug checks you can then type "exit" to exit the debug shell. The init script will continue with the switch_root and boot the OS. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-2/+3
* On 32bit, use the non-SMP kernel by default....You can define SMP32="YES" in the script or in its .conf file, if you want your Live ISO to boot the 32bit SMP kernel instead. Eric Hameleers2016-06-101-2/+2
* iso2usb.sh: use "isoinfo" instead of "iso-info"....It appears that other distros do not always contain "iso-info" which is part of "libcdio". The "isoinfo" program ion the other hand, which is part of "cdrtools" is more widely used. Eric Hameleers2016-06-081-3/+2
* VERSION bump to 1.0.2. Eric Hameleers2016-06-031-1/+1
* Add the 'live' user account to additonal groups "dialout,games,disk"....The "dialout" group is required for working with 3G USB modems and ppp connections. If the user wants to play UNIX games, then the "games" group membership is needed. And "disk" group was added for good measure. Eric Hameleers2016-06-031-1/+1
* XFCE: do not copy optional/ or addons/ content into the XFCE ISO....We need to maintain strict size requirements to keep the maximum size of the XFCE ISO below 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB) so that it fits on CDROM. You can always add optional/addons modules later if you create a USB Live medium out of the ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-05-291-8/+11
* Some cosmetic cleanups. Eric Hameleers2016-05-292-10/+9
* make_slackware_live.sh: add "-X" switch to generate the ISO with xorriso....For some people, an ISO generated with xorriso instead of using mkisofs/isohybrid is more compatible with other tools or hardware. You need to install xorriso separately, it is not included with Slackware. Eric Hameleers2016-05-292-26/+59
* Silence a (harmless) error during network boot....We bind-mount /run if we started dhcpcd - so it can not be un-mounted at the end of the init. Eric Hameleers2016-05-291-1/+1
* VERSION bump to 1.0.1. Eric Hameleers2016-05-281-1/+1
* Ensure that a PXE-booted Slackware Live will shutdown properly....In case of network boot, do not kill the network, umount NFS prematurely or stop udevd on shutdown. Eric Hameleers2016-05-281-0/+10
* XFCE: take into account that the 32bit ISO does not contain a SMP kernel....In order to successfully generate a 32bit ISO of the small XFCE variant, the variable SMP32 needs to be set to "NO" because the package for the SMP kernel will not be added (due to size constraints). Example commandline to achieve this: SMP32=NO ./make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -a i586 Eric Hameleers2016-05-271-1/+5
* slackpkg+: my package repository is no longer hosted on taper but on bear....The URLs mentioning 'taper' instead of 'bear' will still work because the webserver on taper will do automatic redirection to bear. Eric Hameleers2016-05-191-3/+3
* README.txt: the git repository is no longer hosted on taper but on bear. Eric Hameleers2016-05-181-2/+2
* README.txt: small fixes to sync this document with the Wiki version. Eric Hameleers2016-05-181-5/+7
* Git rid of a (harmless) error message during boot. Eric Hameleers2016-05-181-4/+8
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.0.0....I think this 'liveslak' product is in a pretty stable state now. 1.0.0 Eric Hameleers2016-05-171-1/+1
* 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....Allows the user to start the SSH server, now that it is disabled by default. Eric Hameleers2016-05-171-0/+1
* Disable the SSH daemon by default and use a tweak to start it on demand....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. Eric Hameleers2016-05-172-1/+6
* 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....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.
