This uses two squashfs modules that are currently only found in the
LEAN and XFCE images: 'min' and 'noxbase'.
These two provide a functional console-only Slackware with a lot of useful
programs. It will connect to a DHCP server automatically and it also
contains the 'setup2hd' script to be able to install Slackware from a network
mirror.
And since the Console OS gets loaded into RAM, you can remove your USB stick
after booting and use that stick for other purposes.
Use-case:
- You have one computer with a network connection and one USB stick, and want
to create a persistent Slackware Live on USB.
- Download an ISO supporting 'Console OS' to the computer's hard drive, and
transfer the ISO to the USB stick using the computer's ISO imaging tools,
making the stick bootable but not persistent.
- Boot from the USB stick, select the "Console OS in RAM" option.
- After you logged into the Console Slackware, mount the computer's hard drive.
- Use the 'iso2usb.sh' script that comes with liveslak to extract the ISO
content to the USB stick, making it persistent. See the README.txt for
instructions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implemented as an extension of the liveslak 'toram' boot parameter.
Adding 'toram=core' to the boot commandline will load circa 500 MB of squashfs
modules into RAM and boot into a sparse but functional console environment.
For supported Live variants (currently LEAN and XFCE) the script
'make_slackware_live.sh' will automatically add a menu item "Console OS in RAM"
to the Syslinux and Grub bootloaders, using this 'toram=core' parameter.
TODO: add this as an option to all liveslak variants. Not so trivial to do.

toram=all
Prevent writes to disk since we are supposed to run from RAM;
equivalent to parameter "toram".
toram=os
Load OS modules into RAM, but write persistent data to USB.

New boot parameter: "domain=your_custom_domain",

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 '#'.

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.

'2' enables verbose script execution;
'4' dumps you into a debug shell right before the switch_root.

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.

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.

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.

This allows people to find the instructions on how to edit the boot
commandline in syslinux or grub more easily. Now it is here:

* 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!

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.

New boot parameter:
dhcpwait=<numseconds>
Maximum wait time for the DHCP client to configure a network interface
(new default: 20 seconds, was 10 seconds).

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.
