* | Correctly read OS configuration from disk file if present...Liveslak can optionally load a OS config file "@DISTRO@_os.cfg" from within
the 'livemain' directory on the boot medium, which contains "VARIABLE=value"
lines, where VARIABLE is one of the following variables:
BLACKLIST, KEYMAP, LIVE_HOSTNAME, LOAD, LOCALE, LUKSVOL,
NOLOAD, RUNLEVEL, TWEAKS, TZ, XKB.
During boot, any variable from that file will be set in the boot environment
if it has not yet been defined in the init script.
You can prevent this behaviour by adding 'cfg=skip' to the boot commandline.

* | Allow cusomization of the UidNumber for the live user account...By default the UidNumber which is used to create the live account is: 1000.
The variable LIVEUIDNR can be set to another unused value if you want.
Remember, customizations go into 'make_slackware_live.conf'
so that you do not have to edit 'make_slackware_live.sh'.

* | iso2usb.sh: allow custom parition sizing...Some people asked if it could be possible to reserve space on the USB stick
for a custom additional 4th partition, to be used freely and which will not get
touched by liveslak.
So, there is a new parameter to the script now, here is the help text:
-y|--layout <x,x,x,x> Specify partition layout and sizes (in MB).
Default values: '$DEF_LAYOUT' for 3 partitions,
the '-1' value for partition 3 meaning
'use all remaining space',
and an empty 4th value means 'do not reserve
free space for a custom 4th partition'.
The default layout of the USB stick remains:
partition 1 (1MB),
partition 2 (100 MB)
partition 3 (claim all free space - specified as 0 MB).
The script allows for an amount of free space to be left at the end
(partition 4, unused by liveslak) in case you need this:
This translates to the following DEF_LAYOUT variable value:
DEF_LAYOUT="1,100,-1,"

* | setup2hd: several usability improvements...- Include disk partitioning (cgdisk and/or cfdisk) in the setup2hd (calling

- Attempt to speed up the rsync from the squashfs files to the hard drive.

* | Remove KDE4BASE and add DAW as a Live Variant....Nobody used the 1 GB ISO with a stripped KDE4 anyway, so I removed it.
DAW is a 'Work In Progress': I want a Ditigal Audio Workstation as a
Live Slackware OS with Plasma5. I want to learn if Plasma5 is lean and
fast enough for realtime audio processing. Probably it also needs PAM,
which will enter the main distro soon.

* | Updates to package lists. Reduce Plasma5 ISO size...Note that the Plasma5 ISO size reduction was achieved by removing
almost all of the 'alien' packages which originate in my regular
package repositories.
Which means if you want a Plasma5 Live with calibre, libreoffice,
qbittorrent, vlc and all the other goodies, you will have to create
a persistent Live USB stick and add my packages as "addon modules".

* | Remove '--no-absolute-filenames' from cpio invocations...Since cpio 2.13, this option strips '/' and '../' from symbolic and
hard links during extraction of a cpio archive like our initramfs.
This is implemented as a fix for CVE-2015-1197 but breaks the initrd.
And leaving out this option does not have the adverse effect
I always thought it would have... archive extraction is still done
into the current directory and not in the filesystem root.

* | liveinit.tpl: explicitly tell udevadm to add newly detected hardware...The default for 'udevadm trigger' is 'change', not 'add', so the scriptline

Thanks to Kanaya for debugging this with his Nvidia MCP51 ethernet device.
