*	Add support for on-disk OS configuration file	Eric Hameleers	2018-06-15	1	-1/+37
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	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 '#'.
*	Adapt to new behaviour of glibc-zoneinfo and the timeconfig script	Eric Hameleers	2018-03-31	1	-1/+1

*	liveinit.tpl: fix a sed syntax error in find_loop()	Eric Hameleers	2017-09-23	1	-1/+1

*	Add upslak.sh, a script to tweak the Live USB stick.	Eric Hameleers	2017-09-19	1	-10/+26
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Purpose: to update the content of a Slackware Live USB stick. upslak.sh accepts the following parameters: -b\|--nobackup Do not try to backup original kernel and modules. -d\|--devices List removable devices on this computer. -h\|--help This help. -i\|--init <filename> Replacement init script. -k\|--kernel <filename> The kernel file (or package). -m\|--kmoddir <name> The kernel modules directory (or package). -n\|--netsupport Add network boot support if not yet present. -o\|--outdev <filename> The device name of your USB drive. -p\|--persistence Move persistent data into new Live module. -r\|--restore Restore previous kernel and modules. -s\|--scan Scan for insertion of new USB device instead of providing a devicename (using option '-o'). -v\|--verbose Show verbose messages. -w\|--wait<number> Add <number> seconds wait time to initialize USB.
*	liveinit: reset freetype hinting params to defaults on every boot	Eric Hameleers	2017-07-31	1	-5/+9
\|
*	Allow syntax 'livemedia=scandev:/path/to/live.iso'	Eric Hameleers	2017-07-19	1	-2/+28
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	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.
*	Add boot-time tweak 'nsh' to disable new sub-pixel hinting in freetype	Eric Hameleers	2017-04-30	1	-0/+48
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	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.
*	Merge branch 'dlack'	Eric Hameleers	2017-01-23	1	-0/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	New supported LIVEDE value: DLACK This merge adds Dlackware as a DE choice when generating the ISO. Dlackware is Slackware with PAM, systemd and Gnome3 (and without KDE4). I think this is an interesting experiment. Know your enemy ;-) Thanks to bartgymnast of the Dlackware team who provided the patches.
*	The liveinit script is a template too and cannot be used as-is.	Eric Hameleers	2017-01-23	1	-0/+1165
	This file was forgotten in the previous commit. It has now also been given a '.tpl' extension in the liveslak sources, to indicate that it is a template and not usable as-is. The 'make_slackware_live.sh' script parses the template file and performs a series of variable substitutions to generate the final 'init' script inside the initrd of the ISO image.
