| * | Fix the 'setup2hd' script's method of Live content installation....In the original version of the script, the squashfs modules' contents
would be extracted one after the other.
However this disregards any package or file deletions inbetween modules.
As a result, e.g. a PLASMA5 installation to disk using 'setup2hd' would
leave several artefacts in removed_scripts and removed_packages and probably
in other locations too.
The overlay is now constructed somewhat differently, so that 'setup2hd' can
access the full read-only filesystem properly; it will copy this content
to the harddisk using rsync. A progress indicator will show the stats of
files that are actually being transferred.
At the same time, the 'setup2hd' script's language settings are now
hard-coded by setting 'LC_ALL' and LANG to "C". Slackware's setup scripts
parse command output and expect english texts there, but when you selected
a different language when booting your Live OS, this would confuse e.g.
'liloconfig' to the extent that it failed to find the Linux partitions.

| * | Changed layout of README.txt slightly for better match with Wiki version....When changes need to be made to README.txt and its Wiki version at
http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:liveslak I want to be able to
diff the two easily.

| * | Fix a bug in the program flow related to CONSFONT....If the predefined console font (CONSFONT variable) was not found
on the system, the make_slackware_live.sh script would abort with an error.

| * | Add support for 32-bit UEFI boot (disabled by default)....This requires functionality in grub which is currently not enabled
in Slackware's grub package.
If you want a 32-bit Live ISO that boots on UEFI computers, you need
to recompile Slackware's grub with the patch for grub.SlackBuild which
you can find in the ./patches subdirectory.
Then you need to set the variable "EFI32" to "YES" in the
'make_slackware_live.sh' script and (re-)generate your 32-bit ISO.
The resulting 32-bit Live ISO will be UEFI-bootable.

| * | Patch for Slackware's grub.SlackBuild adds 32bit EFI support....Not that 32bit EFI support is anywhere useful... but some people
requested this.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-18 | 1 | -0/+85 |
| * | New parameters to specify Slackware version and architecture....The 'make_slackware_live.sh' script now has two extra parameters:
-a arch
Specify machine architecture (default: 'x86_64').
Use i586 for a 32bit ISO, x86_64 for 64bit.
-z version
Specify the Slackware version (default: 'current').

| * | Further expand the use of DISTRO variable to customize the Live ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 4 | -20/+35 |
| * | Show example of how to change distro name in your custom Live ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | XFCE: add 'js185' package to support mozilla-firefox. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.7.0.0.7.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Use the right variable to access official Slackware READMEs and other docs. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | PLASMA5: add calibre's missing 'podofo' dependency to the package list. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | PLASMA5: sync the package list for the plasma5 module to KDE 5_16.03. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-15 | 1 | -1/+2 |
| * | Documentation updates. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-11 | 4 | -0/+20 |
| * | liveinit: put the 'rescue shell' commands into a function call. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-11 | 1 | -12/+21 |
| * | Use internal variable DISTRO=slackware. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-10 | 1 | -22/+25 |
| * | Increase the maximum number of loop devices the Live OS will use to 96....If you have a large number of addon modules, 96 may still be too low.
This value can be changed on boot-time by the 'maxloops=' boot parameter.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-10 | 1 | -1/+9 |
| * | Add preliminary support for booting a Live ISO image in your filesystem....Boot parameter "livemedia=" has been expanded;
Generic syntax for explicitly defining your live media:
livemedia=/dev/sdX
The syntax for pointing the initrd to an ISO image of Slackware Live Edition
instead of a partition or DVD media expands on the above:
livemedia=/dev/sdX:/path/to/slackwarelive.iso
Note: this functionality is yet untested ;-)

| * | Fix the 'localhd' boot parameter. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-09 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add the missing part of the "disable glamor 2d acceleration" patch....New boot option 'nga' (which stands for 'no glamor acceleration')
adds a configuration file to X.Org. This disables the (now default) glamor
acceleration which causes a X startup failure with the error:
"EGL_MESA_drm_image required; (EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed".
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-09 | 1 | -2/+6 |
| * | Only add graphics drivers module matching the Linux kernel in the Live ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-09 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | liveinit: add 'nga' boot parameter to disable glamor 2D acceleration....X.Org in a QEMU VM will refuse to start if glamor is used for 2D acceleration.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-03 | 1 | -0/+15 |
| * | Remove the /SLACKWARELIVE marker file from the filesystem root....After installation to harddisk using the 'setup2hd' script, this
marker file is a Live OS left over and will only cause confusion.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-03-03 | 2 | -0/+3 |
| * | Use correct grep command to find unique package name....The grep command used so far would find "vim-gvim" when searching for "vim"
because it did not try to match from the beginning of the string.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-28 | 1 | -3/+21 |
| * | pkglists/alien.lst: p7zip needs wxGTK. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-27 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Do not overwrite a custom keymap....During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-27 | 1 | -1/+5 |
| * | Determine KGEN properly so that it works for 32-bit Slackware as well....Thanks to SangDae YU for pointing it out.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-27 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | Remove duplicate line....Was there from the beginning... glad someone noticed it, thanks SangDae.

| * | Some small improvements for the harddisk installer. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-24 | 2 | -5/+17 |
| * | Define KVER and KGEN at the proper location in the script. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-24 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.6.0.0.6.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-24 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Update the README for liveslak. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-24 | 1 | -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.

| * | Fix fontconfig. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-24 | 1 | -4/+4 |
| * | PLASMA5: removed libproxy since that is now properly done in Slackware. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-24 | 1 | -1/+0 |
| * | Really start Konsole with a login shell. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-22 | 1 | -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 Hameleers | 2016-02-22 | 1 | -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.

| * | pklists/plasma5.lst: synced the package list to the latest release. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-21 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | New boot parameter "localhd" to initialize RAID/LVM on local harddisks. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-17 | 3 | -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 Hameleers | 2016-02-16 | 1 | -2/+6 |
| * | Add the liveslak documentation to the ISO image. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-16 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| * | README.txt : documentation for liveslak... first attempt. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-15 | 1 | -0/+533 |
| * | Tweaks and spelling fixes for the syslinux and grub2 help files. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-15 | 2 | -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 Hameleers | 2016-02-15 | 1 | -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 Hameleers | 2016-02-15 | 2 | -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 Hameleers | 2016-02-14 | 1 | -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.
