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.

If the predefined console font (CONSFONT variable) was not found
on the system, the make_slackware_live.sh script would abort with an error.

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.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Not that 32bit EFI support is anywhere useful... but some people
requested this.
|
|
|
|
|
|

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').

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.

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 ;-)

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".
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
X.Org in a QEMU VM will refuse to start if glamor is used for 2D acceleration.

After installation to harddisk using the 'setup2hd' script, this
marker file is a Live OS left over and will only cause confusion.

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.

During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected.

Thanks to SangDae YU for pointing it out.

Was there from the beginning... glad someone noticed it, thanks SangDae.

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.

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.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
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.

It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
