2021-12-20Add an (optional) basic firewall configuration to setup2hd Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
The firewall will be configured and installed only when you use setup2hd to install the Live OS to your hard drive. The scripts are not particular to Slackware Live; you can easily copy the resulting files /usr/sbin/myfwconfig, /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall and /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.firewall out of the installed system and use them anywhere on a Slackware-compatible OS. - The 'myfwconfig' script will ask a few simple questions and generate the ipv4 and ipv6 configuration in /etc/firewall/. - The 'rc.firewall' script will load/save its iptables/ip6tables configuration from /etc/firewall/ files. - The 'setup.firewall' script is a convenient way to call the firewall configurator from pkgtools or during Slackware's installation to harddisk.

2021-11-08liveslak: add Secure Boot support to all 64bit ISOs Eric Hameleers1-2/+193
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.
2021-11-07DAW, LEAN, XFCE: tweak package lists and blacklists Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Goal is to keep the XFCE image below 700 MB (CDROM size) while adding programs that are needed.
2021-11-01Slackware Live Edition: version 1.4.0.21.4.0.2 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Micro version bump for the DAW Live ISO respin to address icu4c and llvm library updates in -current,
2021-10-29DAW: use kicker instead of kickoff, we want to have real menus Eric Hameleers1-0/+6
2021-10-29DAW, STUDIOWARE: make boot less verbose. Cleanup some commented lines Eric Hameleers1-13/+2
2021-10-29DAW, STUDIOWARE: enable full preemptive mode via kernel boot option Eric Hameleers1-11/+12
Using rc.local to post-configure the kernel was nice, but this solution is cleaner and less lines of code.
2021-10-28Slackware Live Edition: version 1.4.0.11.4.0.1 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Micro version bump for the DAW Live ISO, which will get a full pre-emptive kernel.
2021-10-28Use the installed kernel-modules instead of looking (again) for the pkg Eric Hameleers1-20/+6
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.
2021-10-28DAW: enable full pre-emptive mode in the kernel Eric Hameleers1-0/+10
Note: this was enabled in kernel 5.14.15 in Slackware-current. On older / non-preemptive kernels the above will do nothing.
2021-10-28Provide a way to use packages in ./testing Eric Hameleers1-5/+29

2021-03-06Change domain 'example.net' to 'home.arpa' following RFC8375 Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
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.

2021-02-15Silence a few harmless error messages from chpasswd Eric Hameleers1-5/+5
We will catch the error anyway and invoke chpasswd with different syntax.
2021-01-27The 'chpassword -R' segfaults in some cases, us a chroot as fallback Eric Hameleers1-4/+12
2021-01-24Use 'chpassword -R' instead of chrooting Eric Hameleers1-4/+4
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
2021-01-17XFCE: llvm libraries are needed by mesa DRI libraries unfortunately Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2021-01-17DAW: add Console OS boot option Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
2021-01-12Implement a small Console OS - a rescue environment in RAM1.3.9 Eric Hameleers1-24/+53
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.
