* Add NFS root support. Eric Hameleers2016-04-132-2/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is now possible to PXE-boot the Slackware Live Edition. Extract the content of the ISO to (for instance) a new directory called 'slackware-live' below your TFTP server's /tftproot directory and then add lines like this to your pxelinux.cfg/default file: label liveslak kernel slackware-live/boot/generic append initrd=slackware-live/boot/initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 kbd=us tz=Europe/Amsterdam locale=us_EN.utf8 nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/slackware-live hostname=pxelive Two new boot parameters have been added to support a NFS root: * nfsroot => mandatory parameter defines the IP address of the NFS server and the path to the extracted content of Slackware Live Edition. * nic => parameter defining the driver for the network card (optional and usually not needed because UDEV will figure out the driver for you), the interface name (optional), the IP configuration method (static IP or DHCP), and in case of a static IP, the required parameters ipaddress, netmask and an optional gateway. Note that the 'nic' parameter is optional if you have a DHCP server in your LAN: Slackware Live will figure out what the interface name is. Syntax of these parameters: nfsroot=ip.ad.dr.ess:/path/to/liveslak nic=<driver>:<interface>:<dhcp|static>[:ipaddr:netmask[:gateway]] Example use of these parameters: nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/tftproot/slackware-live nic=auto:eth0:static:10.0.0.21:24: nic=:eth1:static:192.168.1.6:255.255.255.248:192.168.1.1
* Umount LIVE_ROOTDIR's sub-mounts properly on emergency cleanup. Eric Hameleers2016-04-121-0/+3
|
* liveinit: correctly create an overlay of all installed content. Eric Hameleers2016-04-081-5/+12
| | | | | | | The 'setup2hd' script will use this readonly overlay to install to your harddrive. However, this readonly overlay still contained the Live customizations which you do not want copied over to your harddrive. This update fixes the logical fallacy so that 'setup2hd' works properly now.
* XFCE: add 'squashfs-tools' to the minimal package list (min.lst). Eric Hameleers2016-03-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The squashfs-tools are an essential package when using 'setup2hd', the Slackware Live OS' harddisk installer. The XFCE ISO does not contain setup2hd at all (it only gets added to ISOs with a huge kernel) but if someone creates a custom Live OS containing a huge kernel but based on the minimal XFCE variant, this custom Live OS requires the presence of unsquashfs, or else 'setup2hd' will fail.
* Fix the 'setup2hd' script's method of Live content installation. Eric Hameleers2016-03-293-42/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Eric Hameleers2016-03-231-138/+201
| | | | | | 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. Eric Hameleers2016-03-231-6/+7
| | | | | 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). Eric Hameleers2016-03-183-47/+84
| | | | | | | | | | | 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. Eric Hameleers2016-03-181-0/+85
| | | | | Not that 32bit EFI support is anywhere useful... but some people requested this.
* New parameters to specify Slackware version and architecture. Eric Hameleers2016-03-181-26/+42
| | | | | | | | | 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 Hameleers2016-03-154-20/+35
|
* Show example of how to change distro name in your custom Live ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-03-151-0/+4
|
* XFCE: add 'js185' package to support mozilla-firefox. Eric Hameleers2016-03-151-0/+1
|
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.7.0.0.7.0 Eric Hameleers2016-03-151-1/+1
|
* Use the right variable to access official Slackware READMEs and other docs. Eric Hameleers2016-03-151-2/+2
|
* PLASMA5: add calibre's missing 'podofo' dependency to the package list. Eric Hameleers2016-03-151-0/+1
|
* PLASMA5: sync the package list for the plasma5 module to KDE 5_16.03. Eric Hameleers2016-03-151-1/+2
|
* Documentation updates. Eric Hameleers2016-03-114-0/+20
|
* liveinit: put the 'rescue shell' commands into a function call. Eric Hameleers2016-03-111-12/+21
|
* Use internal variable DISTRO=slackware. Eric Hameleers2016-03-101-22/+25
|
* Increase the maximum number of loop devices the Live OS will use to 96. Eric Hameleers2016-03-101-1/+9
| | | | | 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.
* Add preliminary support for booting a Live ISO image in your filesystem. Eric Hameleers2016-03-091-8/+28
| | | | | | | | | | 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 Hameleers2016-03-091-1/+1
|
* Add the missing part of the "disable glamor 2d acceleration" patch. Eric Hameleers2016-03-091-2/+6
| | | | | | | 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".
* Only add graphics drivers module matching the Linux kernel in the Live ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-03-091-3/+3
|
* liveinit: add 'nga' boot parameter to disable glamor 2D acceleration. Eric Hameleers2016-03-031-0/+15
| | | | X.Org in a QEMU VM will refuse to start if glamor is used for 2D acceleration.
* Remove the /SLACKWARELIVE marker file from the filesystem root. Eric Hameleers2016-03-032-0/+3
| | | | | After installation to harddisk using the 'setup2hd' script, this marker file is a Live OS left over and will only cause confusion.
* Use correct grep command to find unique package name. Eric Hameleers2016-02-281-3/+21
| | | | | 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.
* pkglists/alien.lst: p7zip needs wxGTK. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-0/+1
|
* Do not overwrite a custom keymap. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-1/+5
| | | | During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected.
* Determine KGEN properly so that it works for 32-bit Slackware as well. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-3/+3
| | | | Thanks to SangDae YU for pointing it out.
* Remove duplicate line. Eric Hameleers2016-02-271-1/+0
| | | | Was there from the beginning... glad someone noticed it, thanks SangDae.
* 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. Eric Hameleers2016-02-242-1/+399
| | | | | | | | | | 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 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. Eric Hameleers2016-02-221-11/+11
| | | | | | 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.
* Add a syslinux menu option to boot from local harddisk. Eric Hameleers2016-02-211-0/+3
| | | | | 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 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. Eric Hameleers2016-02-161-2/+6
| | | | It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance.
* 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
