* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.5.01.5.0 Eric Hameleers2021-11-081-1/+1
* liveslak: add Secure Boot support to all 64bit ISOs...Read the updates in the README for more background and guidance. User notice: As a one-time action the very first time you boot a Secure Boot enabled liveslak ISO, you will have to enroll the liveslak certificate (/EFI/BOOT/liveslak.der) with which the Slackware boot-up binaries (grub and kernel) were signed into your computer's MOK (Machine Owner Key database). This enrollment request will show on-screen during initial boot, just follow the prompts to 'enroll from disk'. Afterwards the computer will reboot and from then on, your liveslak will boot without any user intervention on your Secure Boot computer. Note: liveslak uses Fedora's initial boot loader (the 'shim') which has been signed by Microsoft. In future we may get our own signed shim for liveslak and/or Slackware, but don't hold your breath.

* DAW, LEAN, XFCE: tweak package lists and blacklists...Goal is to keep the XFCE image below 700 MB (CDROM size) while adding programs that are needed. Eric Hameleers2021-11-071-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.4.0.2...Micro version bump for the DAW Live ISO respin to address icu4c and llvm library updates in -current, 1.4.0.2 Eric Hameleers2021-11-011-1/+1
* DAW: use kicker instead of kickoff, we want to have real menus Eric Hameleers2021-10-291-0/+6
* DAW, STUDIOWARE: make boot less verbose. Cleanup some commented lines Eric Hameleers2021-10-291-13/+2
* DAW, STUDIOWARE: enable full preemptive mode via kernel boot option...Using rc.local to post-configure the kernel was nice, but this solution is cleaner and less lines of code. Eric Hameleers2021-10-291-11/+12
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.4.0.1...Micro version bump for the DAW Live ISO, which will get a full pre-emptive kernel. 1.4.0.1 Eric Hameleers2021-10-281-1/+1
* Use the installed kernel-modules instead of looking (again) for the pkg...The old way was not wrong, until I added the possibility to liveslak to use a package in ./testing . This part of the code needed an overhaul as a result of that, and now it looks cleaner than before. Eric Hameleers2021-10-281-20/+6
* DAW: enable full pre-emptive mode in the kernel...Note: this was enabled in kernel 5.14.15 in Slackware-current. On older / non-preemptive kernels the above will do nothing. Eric Hameleers2021-10-281-0/+10
* Provide a way to use packages in ./testing Eric Hameleers2021-10-281-5/+29
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.4.01.4.0 Eric Hameleers2021-10-261-1/+1
* Add virtio modules to the live initrd for better support in VM's Eric Hameleers2021-10-261-2/+3
* Default answer for slackpkg actions should be 'yes' Eric Hameleers2021-10-131-2/+2
* XFCE: fiddle a bit with firefox vs seamonkey default settings Eric Hameleers2021-09-081-2/+26
* Cosmetics Eric Hameleers2021-09-081-1/+1
* XFCE: don't add pidgin, keeps the ISO size below 700M Eric Hameleers2021-09-081-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.101.3.10 Eric Hameleers2021-09-081-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.61.3.9.6 Eric Hameleers2021-08-131-1/+1
* Fix some indentation (tabs to spaces) Eric Hameleers2021-08-131-3/+3
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.51.3.9.5 Eric Hameleers2021-07-161-1/+1
* Blacklist seamonkey from the DAW & LEAN ISOs, we use firefox there Eric Hameleers2021-07-101-1/+3
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.41.3.9.4 Eric Hameleers2021-06-161-1/+1
* Try to reduce ISO size a bit through more zstd compression Eric Hameleers2021-06-161-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.31.3.9.3 Eric Hameleers2021-04-071-1/+1
* Change domain 'example.net' to 'home.arpa' following RFC8375...Excerpt from RFC 8375 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8375): Users and devices within a home network (hereafter referred to as "homenet") require devices and services to be identified by names that are unique within the boundaries of the homenet [RFC7368]. The naming mechanism needs to function without configuration from the user. While it may be possible for a name to be delegated by an ISP, homenets must also function in the absence of such a delegation. This document reserves the name 'home.arpa.' to serve as the default name for this purpose, with a scope limited to each individual homenet. Eric Hameleers2021-03-061-2/+2
* NetworkManager dhcp client configuration is now in conf.d subdirectory Eric Hameleers2021-02-201-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.11.3.9.1 Eric Hameleers2021-02-151-2/+2
* New slackpkg installs a mirrors file with incorrect mirror enabled Eric Hameleers2021-02-151-0/+2
* Silence a few harmless error messages from chpasswd...We will catch the error anyway and invoke chpasswd with different syntax. Eric Hameleers2021-02-151-5/+5
* The 'chpassword -R' segfaults in some cases, us a chroot as fallback Eric Hameleers2021-01-271-4/+12
* Use 'chpassword -R' instead of chrooting...According to bug report, this is now needed on Slackware 14.2 when generating a -current Live ISO. PAM is probably to blame: >chpasswd: (user root) pam_chauthtok() failed, error: >Authentication token manipulation error >chpasswd: (line 1, user root) password not changed Eric Hameleers2021-01-241-4/+4
* XFCE: llvm libraries are needed by mesa DRI libraries unfortunately Eric Hameleers2021-01-171-1/+1
* DAW: add Console OS boot option Eric Hameleers2021-01-171-2/+2
* Implement a small Console OS - a rescue environment in RAM...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. 1.3.9 Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-24/+53
* XFCE: start CUPS only if cupsd is installed Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-2/+6
* Add Kwayland profile scripts to make Plasma Wayland behave better...Implementing LuckyCyborg's proposal from this post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/requests-for-current-14-2-15-0-a-4175620463/page432.html#post6206168 Let's see whether this works. Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-0/+18
* Add a .screenrc file for some more comfort during SCREEN sessions Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-0/+43
* Fix the rc.gpm script generation Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-13/+14
* No longer make 'us american english' the default for liveslak...Define a 'generic english' to be the new default, with UTC as its timezone. Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-5/+12
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.41.3.8.4 Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-1/+1
* Add a new live variant: LEAN...The new 'LEAN' variant of liveslak is a 1.5 GB ISO, containing basic but powerful XFCE and Plasma5 desktop environments. Useful if you want a small-ish Live OS but you feel that the XFCE ISO is too seveery stripped for your purposes. Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-2/+8
* Fix /etc/localtime file, needs to be a symlink Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-7/+5
* DAW: updated package lists and fixing menu icon display Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-3/+3
* Some cosmetic changes to comments Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-3/+3
* PLASMA5 variant renamed to KTOWN...Since Plasma5 is now actually a part of Slackware, renaming the old PLASMA5 variant to KTOWN signals where these packages are coming from. The KTOWN variant will be used again once new development of ktown packages commences (perhaps offering Plasma6). Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-17/+14
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.3...Small version bump needed for a re-spin of the DAW ISO. The new kernel enabled a PC Speaker driver which grabbed the default hardware device and JACK does not work with it. Patrick has now blacklisted snd-pcsp in the eudev package, and all is well again. 1.3.8.3 Eric Hameleers2020-12-301-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.21.3.8.2 Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-1/+1
* DAW: make all plugins available to the user Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-0/+6
* Fix logic error in finding package full name from its basename Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-1/+1
