| 2021-01-12 | 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.

Let's see whether this works.

| 2021-01-12 | Re-order pkglists for Console OS and to fix XFCE notification area...XFCE notification area suddenly requires libdbusmenu and gobject-introspection.
Also, I fixed Plasma5 Vaults in the LEAN image by adding fuse.

| 2021-01-06 | 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.

| 2021-01-06 | 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).

| 2020-12-30 | 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.
