2016-12-13 | 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.

2016-12-13 | Make setting of the root & live user's password a bit safer....Additionally, this should work better with a PAM based system.

2016-11-16 | (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.

2016-11-16 | The new release of LXQT requires modifications in the package set....Added deps:
- libstatgrab
- muparser
New in LXQT:
- lxqt-l10n
- pavucontrol-qt
The 'libtinfo' package is only adding some symlinks that some programs look for.

2016-11-09 | 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.

2016-08-22 | PLASMA5: add 'VARIANT' variable; sync package list to the 'testing' repo....The 'VARIANT' variable allows switching between the 'latest' and 'testing'
repositories. The 'testing' repsitory will focus on stuff which is not
ready for prime-time, such as wayland, logind (part of systemd) and pam.

2016-08-22 | Added package lists and repository info for the LXQT desktop environment....Note that the 'alien.*' package list which is used for the PLASMA5 ISO
also adds the full LXQT desktop. LXQT has a lot of dependencies (covered
in the 'lxqtdeps.lst) but almost all of these dependencies are already
part of PLASMA5 anyway.
The two 'lxqt.*' and 'lxqtdeps.*' package lists are meant for people
who do not want to create a PLASMA5 ISO (and therefore do not want to use
the 'alien.lst') but want an ISO focusing on LXQT without all the plasma5
or alien stuff.

2016-08-08 | 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.

2016-07-31 | 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.

2016-07-31 | 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'.

2016-07-22 | liveinit: Use Shift-AltGr as the Compose Key, seems to be the sanest choice....As documented in file "/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst":
lv3 Key to choose 3rd level
lv3:ralt_switch_multikey Right Alt, Shift+Right Alt key is Compose
And as explained in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey :
There are four levels of keyboard entry. Selecting a level involves holding
a set of modifier keys down, this changes the function of all the other keys
on the keyboard. The levels are, by default:
Level Modifier Keys produced
-------------------------------
1 None Lowercase letters, numbers, etc.
2 Shift Uppercase letters, symbols printed on keyboard, etc.
3 AltGr Extra symbols not printed on the keyboard, some dead keys.
4 AltGr-Shift Even more symbols, more dead keys.
Dead keys are keys that appear to do nothing at first; they apply an accent
to the next letter you type.
Third and fourth level choosers:
Holding down the AltGr key and pressing another key will produce a third level
character. Holding down the AltGr and Shift keys (the order can be important)
and pressing another key will produce a fourth level character.
Note that some combinations are dead keys; an additional key-press is required
whereupon a diacritic will be added to the final character keyed.
Compose key:
Keying the combination Shift+AltGr (in that order), releasing these keys,
then entering two other keys will produce a special character.
