2017-02-15 | make_slackware_live.sh: shuffle the order of sed operations for setup2hd....The 'sed' commandline processing the scripts in /usr/share/liveslak
failed to make the correct substitution for "T_PX=/mnt" in the
'SeTpartitions' script, which is part of the Slackware installer.

2017-02-02 | README: put some more emphasis in the ISO developer section....Specifically, stress the fact that generating an ISO requires that you
create a local Slackware mirror prior to running 'make_slackware_live.sh',
since the script will not download official Slackware packages,
only 3rd party packages.

2017-01-24 | PLASMA5: add several new packages I forgot earlier....In fact, I had not intended to replace Slackware's kdelibs4-based calligra
with the new KF5-based version. But upgrading calligra allowed me to get
rid of the old kdelibs4-based kactivities, nepomuk-core and nepomuk-widgets
packages.
And krita has been made separate from calligra, so that is a new package
in my 'ktown' set altogether. Kexi is absent (it was split out of calligra
just like krita) but if someone needs it, I will add it in the next update.
And finally, the package libkcddb4 is the older ldelibs4-based version
which is required by k3b.
The new KF5-based libkcddb is incompatible with k3b.

2017-01-23 | 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.

2017-01-23 | 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.

2016-12-15 | 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

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.

2016-11-16 | (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.

2016-11-09 | 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

A custom Live OS may want to use a custom filename instead of "min.lst",
so the variable $MINLIST was created for that purpose.
