* | Add support for on-disk OS configuration file...The configuration file must be in the liveslak main directory ('/liveslak'
by default) and be called 'DISTRO_os.cfg' where DISTRO is the lower-case
name of the distro ('slackware' by default).
The following variables can be defined in the configuration file,
one per line, in the format VAR=value:
BLACKLIST, INIT, KEYMAP, LIVE_HOSTNAME, LOAD, LOCALE, LUKSVOL, NOLOAD,
RUNLEVEL, TWEAKS, TZ, XKB.
Since the configuration file is sourced by the live init script, it is OK
to have comments in it that are prefixed with '#'.

* | README: small updates and polishing to align with the Wiki text | Eric Hameleers | 2017-12-23 | 1 | -5/+5 |
* | README.txt: mention dlackware and studioware in the 'ISO variants' section | Eric Hameleers | 2017-09-23 | 1 | -3/+5 |
* | liveslak: update the README with new upslak functionality | Eric Hameleers | 2017-09-19 | 1 | -3/+94 |
* | Allow syntax 'livemedia=scandev:/path/to/live.iso'...Use the 'scandev' keyword instead of specifying an actual partition name
if you want liveslak to scan all partitions for the ISO.
Use this if you are not sure of the devicename and have no means of
figuring it out.

* | Document the 'debug=<number>' boot parameter...'2' enables verbose script execution;
'4' dumps you into a debug shell right before the switch_root.

* | Add boot-time tweak 'nsh' to disable new sub-pixel hinting in freetype...Freetype has enabled a 'new style' of sub-pixel hinting, based on the
Infinality patch but simplified for speed.
Some people feel that this new type of hinting is resulting in worse font
rendering than with the old auto-hinter built into Freetype.
The new tweak 'nsh' effectively disables the new type of sub-pixel hinting
and makes Freetype fall back to the old behaviour.
Usage: add "tweaks=nsh" to the boot commandline of the Live OS.

* | README: put some more emphasis in the ISO developer section....Specifically, stress the fact that generating an ISO requires that you
create a local Slackware mirror prior to running 'make_slackware_live.sh',
since the script will not download official Slackware packages,
only 3rd party packages.

* | README.txt: fix the URL of the Porteus web site. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-12-08 | 1 | -1/+1 |
* | README.txt: mention harddisk installation option in the Preface. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-11-29 | 1 | -1/+1 |
* | Make the name 'min' of the minimal package list customizable....The 'min' package list contains the generic kernel.
This package list is special because the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script
will also take care of the ISO boot configuration while processing it.
A custom Live OS may want to use a custom filename instead of "min.lst",
so the variable $MINLIST was created for that purpose.

* | README.txt has been updated. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-07-31 | 1 | -0/+17 |
* | 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:

| Eric Hameleers | 2016-07-08 | 1 | -32/+35 |
* | 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!

* | Some cosmetic cleanups. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-29 | 1 | -1/+1 |
* | 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.

diff the two easily.
