* Bump the version to 1.1.5.1 (development version for QA testing) Eric Hameleers2017-01-241-1/+1
* Merge branch 'dlack'...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. Eric Hameleers2017-01-231-3/+36

* | The liveinit script is a template too and cannot be used as-is....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. Eric Hameleers2017-01-231-1/+1
* | Make it obvious that some scripts are templates and cannot be used as-is....This affects: - pxeserver - setup2hd Both have been renamed with extension '.tpl' as indication that they are templates. The 'make_slackware_live.sh' script performs a series of substitutions on them to produce the actual scripts inside the ISO. Eric Hameleers2017-01-231-2/+2
* | Add '2017' to the copyright statements. Eric Hameleers2017-01-231-1/+1
* | setup2hd: more polishing of the Slackware installer scripts....Hard-coded '/mnt' in the Slackware installer scripts is an ongoing annoyance. With the modifications in this commit I was able to successfully install Slackware Live to a UEFI computer using 'setup2hd'. Eric Hameleers2017-01-231-2/+16
* | Add 'ntfs' module to the initrd for mounting NTFS partitions (read-only)....This should allow people to store the ISO on a NTFS filesystem and then use something like grub or pxelinux to boot liveslak from that ISO file using the 'livemedia=/dev/sdX:/path/to/slackwarelive.iso' syntax. Eric Hameleers2017-01-101-1/+1
| * DLACK: improve first-boot experience....Disable two processes that consume time or are just annoying on first boot: - do not start gnome-initial-setup; - do not let systemd re-generate dynamic linker cache on boot. dlack Eric Hameleers2017-01-021-0/+8
| * DLACK: Add console keymap default setting for localectl....In the hope that this makes gnome-terminal start finally. Eric Hameleers2017-01-011-0/+2
| * DLACK: create a default config for localectl. Eric Hameleers2017-01-011-0/+1
| * Merge branch 'master' into dlack. Eric Hameleers2016-12-311-1/+1

* | pkglists: add alien's restricted repository....Add packages from the restricted repository to the PLASMA5 ISO: - ffmpeg - handbrake - lame - libdvdcss - vlc Also, add 'keepassx' to alien's regular package list. Eric Hameleers2016-12-281-1/+1
| * (e)liloconfig: only try to patch these scripts if they are contained in the ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-12-161-2/+6

| * DLACK: add Dlackware as a DE choice when generating the ISO....Dlackware is Slackware with systemd and Gnome3. An interesting experiment. Thanks to bartgymnast of the Dlackware team who provided the patches. Note: at this moment, this is pre-alpha quality. - The default root and live passwords do not work so you'll have to add boot parameter 'livepw=XXXXXXXX' and think of a strong password that passes the PAM strength test. - The Gnome3 environment does not show an application menu. - The Dlackware package quality is sub-standard. Notably it will mess with the buildhost machine's password database and install 64bit stuff into /usr/lib Eric Hameleers2016-12-151-3/+25

* Make it possible to replace a package instead of simply upgrading it....Example: Replace eudev with systemd (actual request made by Dlackware). The package list should then contain the following line: eudev%systemd I.e. the package to be replaced, followed by a '%', followed by the name of the package that replaces the original. This is similar syntax to the way in which you tell upgradepkg to replace one package with another bearing a different name. Eric Hameleers2016-12-131-5/+15
* Make setting of the root & live user's password a bit safer....Additionally, this should work better with a PAM based system. Eric Hameleers2016-12-131-2/+2
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.5.1.1.5 Eric Hameleers2016-12-081-1/+1
* make_slackware_live.sh: liloconfig is in /sbin - not in /usr/sbin . Eric Hameleers2016-11-301-1/+1
* (e)liloconfig need patching to make them work properly on Slackware Live....The cause is the use of hard-coded '/mnt' instead of using $T_PX variable. In Slackware's official installer, the computer's hard disk is always mounted at /mnt so that there is no apparent issue. Slackware Live's 'setup2hd' however, needs to mount the hard disk on /setup2hd because /mnt is already used. Eric Hameleers2016-11-161-1/+3
* XFCE: remove unused glibc locales to conserve space....The XFCE ISO is below 737.280.000 bytes again. Also, the 'vim' package fits in now, which makes gvim a lot more functional. Eric Hameleers2016-11-091-0/+15
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.4.1.1.4 Eric Hameleers2016-11-091-1/+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. Eric Hameleers2016-11-091-4/+9
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.3.1.1.3 Eric Hameleers2016-08-221-1/+1
* Remove the confusing Openbox entry from xsessions menu if present. Eric Hameleers2016-08-221-1/+3
* make_slackware_live.sh: Removing old stuff should happen at the beginning. Eric Hameleers2016-08-131-8/+8
* Live OS: enable CUPS network browsing by default....This makes remote CUPS printers available locally. Eric Hameleers2016-08-091-0/+1
* XFCE: add tigervnc and HP printer support....While still staying below the CDROM size limit of 737.280.000 bytes, I was able to add lftp, fltk and tigervnc (because I need them), cdrtools and dosfstools (because iso2usb.sh needs them), as well as hplip and net-snmp to complement the recently added cups packages. I hope the XFCE variant now has a fully functional print support. Eric Hameleers2016-08-081-2/+17
* Add '-G' parameter to generate ISO image from pre-existing file tree....This is of course a new parameter to the "make_slackware_live.sh" script. It was added to allow the developer to make small changes to the file tree of what is to become the ISO image, and then re-generate the ISO without having to repeat all the other steps (potentially undoing the modifications). Useful for debugging mostly. Eric Hameleers2016-07-311-99/+129
* Live OS: enable CUPS by default. Eric Hameleers2016-07-311-1/+2
* XFCE: another stab at shrinking the resulting ISO to below 703MB....Or to be more precise: below 737.280.000 bytes (80min CDROM medium size) Eric Hameleers2016-07-311-0/+4
* 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'. Eric Hameleers2016-07-311-0/+4
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.2.1.1.2 Eric Hameleers2016-07-221-1/+1
* liveinit: replace instances of 'live' username with '${LIVEUID}'. Eric Hameleers2016-07-221-0/+1
* make_slackware_live.sh: add only the graphics driver module relevant to the OS. Eric Hameleers2016-07-221-2/+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. Eric Hameleers2016-07-201-6/+7
* 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". Eric Hameleers2016-07-201-13/+17
* slackpkg+: switch from 'ktown_testing' to 'ktown'. Eric Hameleers2016-07-201-4/+4
* make_slackware_live.sh: remove a leftover ']'. Eric Hameleers2016-07-031-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.1.1.1.1 Eric Hameleers2016-07-011-1/+1
* Adjust the URL of the Mate repository, in light of the upcoming release. Eric Hameleers2016-07-011-2/+2
* Add LUKS passphrase entry support for more types of USB keyboard. Eric Hameleers2016-06-241-1/+1
* KDE launcher bug has been fixed in Slackware 14.2. Eric Hameleers2016-06-241-9/+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. Eric Hameleers2016-06-241-1/+19
* Fix generating the 32bit Slackware Live ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-6/+6
* Set ARCH: needed when calling slackpkg for 32bit Live OS on 64bit host. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-2/+2
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.0.1.1.0 Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-2/+1
* Try to support UEFI hybrid ISO better in the xorriso commandline. Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-1/+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). Eric Hameleers2016-06-151-17/+0
* 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. Eric Hameleers2016-06-101-2/+2
