| * | Cosmetics: better grouping of code; additional comments for better readability. |   Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-03 | 1 | -28/+45 |
| * | Do not run the risk of creating a dangling symlink. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-03 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Don't abort if the udev rules file is not present in the initrd. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-02-02 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Get rid of udev errors about obex-check-device on boot....The mkinitrd script adds /lib/udev/rules.d/60-openobex.rules to the initrd
image, but since the rest of the openobex package is not added, this results
in a "error: obex-check-device not found".
We do not need bluetooth stuff in the initrd anyway, so we remove the rules
file manually from the initrd until mkinitrd gets fixed.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 0.4.0 (aka Beta4)...Milestone reached:
- add LUKS-encrypted /home/.
0.4.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add support for a LUKS-encrypted /home in the USB Live version....Using iso2usb.sh script's new '-c' parameter, you can define the size for
a container file in the root of the USB stick's Linux partition.
- The container file will be loop-mounted and LUKS-encrypted and the
Live OS will mount the filesystem inside the container on /home/.
- The LUKS passphrase will be defined when executing the 'iso2usb.sh' script.
- The original /home content of the ISO will be copied into the
LUKS-encrypted container during execution of the 'iso2usb.sh' script.
- If for whatever reason you do not want to unlock & mount the LUKS container
during boot, you must add the boot parameter " luksvol= " to the syslinux
or grub commandline.

| * | Ensure that rc.pulseaudio is not started. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Readability changes to various comments in the script. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -6/+7 |
| * | Enable mouse support in runlevel 3. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-22 | 1 | -0/+21 |
| * | Fix kernel version detection....The new kernel has version number '4.4.0'. Yet the kernel package names,
like the kernel source tarball, has a version '4.4'. We need to compensate.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-15 | 1 | -3/+5 |
| * | Do not overwrite /etc/asound.conf...Slackware has added PulseAudio plus a /etc/asound.conf file,
which configures all ALSA output as an input to PA.
An ALSA softvol pre-amp is therefore no longer needed and our Live script
should not overwrite the /etc/asound.conf file in the OS.

| * | Add 2016 in the copyright line. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-15 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | VERSION bump from Beta 3 (aka 0.3) to 0.3.8....Roadmap:
v0.3.9: adding LUKS encrypted /home
v0.4 (Beta4): LUKS home setup stable enough for public consumption.

| * | Do not add Nvidia proprietary drivers to the Full Slackware ISO....The customized ISOs (Slackware plus 3rd party software) can include the
proprietary drivers, but the Full Slackware ISO is meant as a demo for
official Slackware and therefore should not include 3rd party packages.
If you respin the SLACKWARE ISO, it is of course still possible to add the
binary Nvidia blob yourself by copying the graphics/*nvidia*.szx file to
the 'optional' directory yourself. Nothing else is needed, it will 'just' work.

| * | Fixes for SDDM and X keyboard mapping. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-10 | 1 | -0/+18 |
| * | BIOS (syslinux) and UEFI (grub2) boot: enhance the experience....- generate the grub fonts (.pf2) ourselves instead of using the
Slackware-provided grub font file.
- expand the help text about the boot parameters.
- show the liveslak version number in the boot menu.
- remove the 'boot any OS' menu item in Grub because it never worked for me.
- add a bit of Grub help text at the bottom of the screen.
NOTES:
- I do not like the way how I had to implement the Grub2 help menu,
it is ugly. Perhaps the text artefacts and understrikes are caused by the
fact that the grub console has to paint on top of the graphical boot menu?
- In any case, the grub console (the black rectangle in the middle) has its
coordinates hard-coded in the grub2 source so it is not configurable.
- the grub fonts look better than in Beta3 but I am still not happy with them.

| * | Added support for separate configuration of X keyboard layout/variant....New parameter for the boot commandline:
xkb=[language],variant
Examples:
# Only specify a Xkbvariant, and inherit the console keyboard layout in X:
kbd=nl xkb=,sundeadkeys
# Define a 'french swiss' layout in X, independent of the console:
xkb=ch,fr
Two new keyboard/language choices have been added which use this functionality:
- german swiss
- french swiss
(requested by Niki Kovacs).
New: if a non-US keyboard layout is selected, the US layout will be added
as a secondary layout. Toggling between the two layouts is possible using
the Shift-LeftAlt key combo.
Also new: the RightAlt key is now defined as the Compose Key in X. Meaning,
the combo <RightAlt><"><e> will generate a 'ë character'.

| * | Use more compatible isohybrid commandline parameters....This modifies Didier's original patch with a simpler set of parameters.
His recommendations are based on these threads:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023256.html
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023455.html
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-July/022538.html
The new parameters allow the big ISOs to be booted in VBox.
Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.

| * | Generate our own Grub font files, to fix the bad font rendering at UEFI boot....Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well.
Research and proposed patch by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-01-01 | 1 | -1/+9 |
| * | Add themed GRUB2 configuration for UEFI boot....The GRUB2 theme is similar to the Syslinux theme used for BIOS boot.
However, the GRUB menu also allows the user to select a timezone,
whereas due to the limitations of syslinux, you'll have to edit the
syslinux commandline to change your timezone there.

| * | Add Mate repository info if we are adding slackpkg+. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-24 | 1 | -3/+4 |
| * | Start Konsole with a login shell....However... does not seem to work for non-US language choices.

| * | Add a softvol pre-amp to ALSA - some computers have too low audio volume. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -0/+16 |

| * | Let Xscreensaver show a blank screen only. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-23 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | Packages with directories in /tmp will cause the script to abort during cleanup....This will catch accidental source configuration issues, happens with KDE
from time to time.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+2 |
| * | Set ownership of SDDM homedirectory recursively. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Make the configuration of the Live environment less verbose....There is no added value in seeing all the executed commands scroll by.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | Mount a RAM based filesystem on /var/tmp to prevent wear of the USB medium. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | Make the marker used for finding the Slackware Live files configurable....Configured in variable MARKER, the default value is "SLACKWARELIVE".
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -4/+12 |
| * | Add the liveslak scripts to the Live OS ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-16 | 1 | -0/+4 |
| * | Use terminus font 'ter-i16v.psf' as the syslinux console font....Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-07 | 1 | -3/+13 |
| * | Make the isohybrid command more compatible with older BIOS....Specifying heads and sectors also eliminates the warnings about using
more than 1024 cylinders.
Patch submitted by Didier Spaier.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-04 | 1 | -3/+21 |
| * | Explicitly mount /tmp on a tmpfs, this is better for the USB stick's health....Not an issue for a Live Edition running exclusively in RAM, but
things are different when you create a USB stick with persistence.
The /tmp would then be created on the USB stick and the continuous writes
will degrade the flash medium.

| * | Fix the broken implementation of custom default runlevel. | Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-02 | 1 | -5/+10 |
| * | Add support for creating a Cinnamon Live ISO....Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for the repository.
Also, renamed Willy's 'MSB' Live Edition to 'MATE'.
| Eric Hameleers | 2015-12-02 | 1 | -7/+17 |
| * | Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'....The persistence directory on USB is called 'persistence' by default but can
now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO.
Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding
a 'persistence=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
The Live OS main directory is called 'liveslak' by default but can
now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO.
Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding
a 'livemain=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
