| * | liveinit: allow modules to be organized in subdirectories....The addons/ and optional/ directory will be searched for *.sxz modules
even if they live in subdirectories. This allows you to organize your
modules instead of dumping them all into a single directory.
If a module fails to load (because it is corrupted for instance) liveinit
will mention this on screen and write the modulename to a file
'/mnt/live/modules/failed'.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.2.1.1.2 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-07-22 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | liveinit: replace instances of 'live' username with '${LIVEUID}'. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-07-22 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | make_slackware_live.sh: add only the graphics driver module relevant to the OS. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-07-22 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | Add the "multilib" squashfs module last so we can distribute it separately....The file "0020-slackware_multilib-current-x86_64.sxz" (for Slackware64-current)
or "0020-slackware_multilib-14.2-x86_64.sxz" (for Slackware64 14.2) can be
extracted from the ISO afterwards and distributed separately and independently
from the Slackware Live ISOs.
If you want to add multilib to your persistent USB version of Slackware Live,
you just copy the above squashfs module into the /liveslak/addons/ directory
of the liveslak partition on the stick (this enables multilib by default).
or else copy it to /liveslak/optional/ if you want to enable multilib on boot
manually by adding a "load=multilib" boot parameter.

| * | Add variable LIVEUID to define the name of the 'live' user account....In 'make_slackware_live.conf' you can give that variable "LIVEUID" another
value than the default "live" if you want to create a Live Edition where
the Live user account is not called "live".

| * | Add LUKS passphrase entry support for more types of USB keyboard. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-24 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | KDE launcher bug has been fixed in Slackware 14.2. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-24 | 1 | -9/+12 |
| * | Add support for multilib....New parameter '-M' to the "make_slackware_live.sh" script will add
a squashfs module "0020-slackware_multilib-VERSION-ARCH.sxz" to the iso,
its contents based on the ./pkglists/multilib.* package repo definitions.
Only for the x86_64 architecture of course.
If you already have a USB Live, you can simply copy this module into the
directory "/liveslak/addons" to transform your pure 64bit Slackware Live
Edition into a multilib variant.

| * | Fix generating the 32bit Slackware Live ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-15 | 1 | -6/+6 |
| * | Set ARCH: needed when calling slackpkg for 32bit Live OS on 64bit host. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-15 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.0.1.1.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-15 | 1 | -2/+1 |
| * | Try to support UEFI hybrid ISO better in the xorriso commandline. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-15 | 1 | -1/+3 |
| * | Deal properly with the user enabling any optional/addon kernel modules....When the user loads a non-system squashfs module (for instance from the
optional or addons subdirectories) and this contains kernel modules,
then the kernel must be made aware using a "depmod -a" call.
The previous implementation did this at the end of rc.local but
that was too late in the boot process: the kernel needs to be aware
of the new modules straight from the start, so that udev can enable
the hardware which is supported by these new kernel drivers on time.
So the depmod call was moved to the live init script (inside the initrd).

| * | On 32bit, use the non-SMP kernel by default....You can define SMP32="YES" in the script or in its .conf file,
if you want your Live ISO to boot the 32bit SMP kernel instead.

| * | VERSION bump to 1.0.2. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-06-03 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Add the 'live' user account to additonal groups "dialout,games,disk"....The "dialout" group is required for working with 3G USB modems and
ppp connections. If the user wants to play UNIX games, then the "games"
group membership is needed. And "disk" group was added for good measure.

| * | XFCE: do not copy optional/ or addons/ content into the XFCE ISO....We need to maintain strict size requirements to keep the maximum size
of the XFCE ISO below 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB) so that it fits on CDROM.
You can always add optional/addons modules later if you create a USB Live
medium out of the ISO.

| * | Some cosmetic cleanups. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-29 | 1 | -9/+8 |
| * | 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.

| * | VERSION bump to 1.0.1. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-28 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | XFCE: take into account that the 32bit ISO does not contain a SMP kernel....In order to successfully generate a 32bit ISO of the small XFCE variant,
the variable SMP32 needs to be set to "NO" because the package for the SMP
kernel will not be added (due to size constraints).
Example commandline to achieve this:
SMP32=NO ./make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -a i586
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-27 | 1 | -1/+5 |
| * | slackpkg+: my package repository is no longer hosted on taper but on bear....The URLs mentioning 'taper' instead of 'bear' will still work because
the webserver on taper will do automatic redirection to bear.

| * | Slackware Live Edition: version 1.0.0....I think this 'liveslak' product is in a pretty stable state now.
1.0.0 | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Call 'depmod' when a loaded optional/addon contains kernel modules. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 1 | -3/+17 |
| * | Fix logic errors in 'if' statements when looking for wildcard files. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-17 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | Disable the SSH daemon by default and use a tweak to start it on demand....The passwords for users 'live' and 'root' are easy to guess.
When you use the Slackware Live Edition on a public network,
you do not want people to use an exposed SSH login.
If you still want to have the SSH daemon enabled on boot, use the
'tweak' boot parameter and provide a 'ssh' value as follows:
"tweak=ssh"
This can be combined with other tweaks of course, all comma-separated.

| * | Add PXE server infrastructure....See the README.txt for instructions on how to use the 'pxeserver' script
and what it can do for you.

| * | Silence one "cd -". | Eric Hameleers | 2016-05-05 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | Update the 'timeconfig' script in make_slackware_live.sh, not in liveinit. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-29 | 1 | -0/+9 |
| * | Do not specify heads/sectors when calling "isohybrid -u"....The resulting ISO will boot on real hardware as well as in virtualizers
like QEMU, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, despite the warning shown by
isohybrid that the ISO has more than 1024 cilynders and not all BIOSes
will be able to boot it.
Specifying sectors/heads to stay "standard compliant" will generate ISO
files that fail to boot in VirtualBox if the ISO filesize is larger
than roughly 1 GB, spitting out the error "VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED".

| * | Deal with custom timezones (non-UTC) in KDE4 and PLASMA5. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-27 | 1 | -0/+19 |

| * | make_slackware_live.sh: also add dependencies of network modules to initrd. | Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-19 | 1 | -2/+27 |
| * | Add a post-install customization hook to 'setup2hd'....A new file 'setup2hd.local' has been added to the liveslak sources.
If you do not touch that one, it will be copied to:
/usr/share/${LIVEMAIN}/setup2hd.$DISTRO.sample and serve as just that,
a sample script.
If on the other hand you rename the file to 'setup2hd.$DISTRO' before
generating your ISO image ($DISTRO being the name of your own distro,
like 'CINELIVE'), then this file will be installed in the ISO as
/usr/share/${LIVEMAIN}/setup2hd.$DISTRO and this will be sourced
by 'setup2hd' providing you a custom post-install customization hook
for your own Live distro.
Usage instructions are inside 'setup2hd.local'.

| * | Use XZ compression for the initrd instead of GZIP....This shrinks the initrd back from 22 to 17 MB in size.
Also, a redundant copy of the initrd was removed from the
'0000-slackware_boot' module, reducing the ISO size with an
additional 17 MB.
These two modifications compensate for the increased size due to
addition of network modules and firmware (which are needed for
network boot).
Goal reached: the XFCE ISO still fits on CDROM media.
| Eric Hameleers | 2016-04-13 | 1 | -7/+27 |
| * | Add NFS root support....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
