| 2016-01-10 | Fix X keyboard configuration if no custom layout was chosen at boot. |   Eric Hameleers | 1 | -10/+12 | |
| 2016-01-05 | Added support for separate configuration of X keyboard layout/variant. | Eric Hameleers | 3 | -27/+57 | |
| New parameter for the boot commandline: xkb=[language],variant Examples: # Only specify a Xkbvariant, and inherit the console keyboard layout in X: kbd=nl xkb=,sundeadkeys # Define a 'french swiss' layout in X, independent of the console: xkb=ch,fr Two new keyboard/language choices have been added which use this functionality: - german swiss - french swiss (requested by Niki Kovacs). New: if a non-US keyboard layout is selected, the US layout will be added as a secondary layout. Toggling between the two layouts is possible using the Shift-LeftAlt key combo. Also new: the RightAlt key is now defined as the Compose Key in X. Meaning, the combo <RightAlt><"><e> will generate a 'ë character'. | |||||
| 2016-01-04 | XFCE: libevent is a new dependency for the links package. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| 2016-01-01 | Use more compatible isohybrid commandline parameters. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -16/+15 | |
| This modifies Didier's original patch with a simpler set of parameters. His recommendations are based on these threads: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023256.html http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023455.html http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-July/022538.html The new parameters allow the big ISOs to be booted in VBox. Patch proposed by Didier Spaier. | |||||
| 2016-01-01 | Generate our own Grub font files, to fix the bad font rendering at UEFI boot. | Eric Hameleers | 4 | -5/+15 | |
| Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well. Research and proposed patch by Didier Spaier. | |||||
| 2015-12-24 | Updated skeleton files for populating the 'live' user's homedirectory.Beta3 | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+0 | |
| 2015-12-24 | Updated package lists for non-Slackware and custom configurations. | Eric Hameleers | 5 | -159/+174 | |
| 2015-12-24 | In XDM's Xresources file, try to handle varying screen sizes better. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -7/+7 | |
| 2015-12-24 | Clear the syslinux menu from the screen when booting the OS. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| 2015-12-24 | Add a themed GRUB2 menu for UEFI boot, these are the actual files used. | Eric Hameleers | 8 | -210/+98 | |
| 2015-12-24 | Much enhanced iso2usb script. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -37/+88 | |
| Two new parameters '--force' and '--persistence'. Read "usb2iso.sh --help". Size of the EFI partition was reduced from 200 to 100 MB. The wait-for-root time in the initrd.img file is changed for both BIOS and UEFI boot; this should make boot work out of the box for most computers. More robustness was added in handling race conditions. Only make the USB stick UEFI-bootable if the ISO file is capable of the same. | |||||
| 2015-12-24 | Add themed GRUB2 configuration for UEFI boot. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -20/+99 | |
| The GRUB2 theme is similar to the Syslinux theme used for BIOS boot. However, the GRUB menu also allows the user to select a timezone, whereas due to the limitations of syslinux, you'll have to edit the syslinux commandline to change your timezone there. | |||||
| 2015-12-24 | Add Mate repository info if we are adding slackpkg+. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -3/+4 | |
| 2015-12-24 | Start Konsole with a login shell. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+9 | |
| However... does not seem to work for non-US language choices. | |||||
| 2015-12-24 | Stamp a VERSION number in the ISO, and to the USB partition. | Eric Hameleers | 2 | -8/+20 | |
| 2015-12-24 | Make the init more robust. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -10/+38 | |
| The computer may have other partitions which contain a Live image, we need to choose one. Alternatively, use "livemedia=/dev/sdX" to point init to the Live device we want to boot. | |||||

| 2015-12-16 | Packages with directories in /tmp will cause the script to abort during cleanup. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+2 | |
| This will catch accidental source configuration issues, happens with KDE from time to time. | |||||
| 2015-12-16 | Set ownership of SDDM homedirectory recursively. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| 2015-12-16 | Make the configuration of the Live environment less verbose. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -3/+3 | |
| There is no added value in seeing all the executed commands scroll by. | |||||
| 2015-12-16 | Mount a RAM based filesystem on /var/tmp to prevent wear of the USB medium. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| 2015-12-16 | Make the marker used for finding the Slackware Live files configurable. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -4/+12 | |
| Configured in variable MARKER, the default value is "SLACKWARELIVE". | |||||
| 2015-12-16 | Add the liveslak scripts to the Live OS ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+4 | |
| 2015-12-07 | Use terminus font 'ter-i16v.psf' as the syslinux console font. | Eric Hameleers | 2 | -3/+14 | |
| Patch proposed by Didier Spaier. | |||||

| 2015-12-04 | Make the isohybrid command more compatible with older BIOS. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -3/+21 | |
| Specifying heads and sectors also eliminates the warnings about using more than 1024 cylinders. Patch submitted by Didier Spaier. | |||||
| 2015-12-04 | Explicitly mount /tmp on a tmpfs, this is better for the USB stick's health. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -4/+7 | |
| Not an issue for a Live Edition running exclusively in RAM, but things are different when you create a USB stick with persistence. The /tmp would then be created on the USB stick and the continuous writes will degrade the flash medium. | |||||
| 2015-12-02 | Fix the broken implementation of custom default runlevel. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -5/+10 | |
| 2015-12-02 | Fix for the looping XDM when trying to start a Mate or Cinnamon X session. | Eric Hameleers | 1 | -0/+3 | |
| Evidence in ~live/.xsession-errors: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! cinnamon-session: Cannot open display: . Rationale copied from the page where I found the fix - http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-ports-154502-x11-xdm-authorization-failure-when-used-with-E17-window-manager-td5819660.html The cause is that the implementation of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is broken if applications execve or unload/reload libX11/libxcb between connections to the X server. More information can be found in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486606 Since it is unclear whether XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 will be fixed and if so, where, I think it is best to disable it in xdm. It looks like adding --disable-xdm-auth to xdm's configure flags will do this but I have not tested it. I think the security impact is minimal; gdm does not use XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 either. | |||||
| 2015-12-02 | Add support for creating a Cinnamon Live ISO. | Eric Hameleers | 5 | -7/+72 | |
| Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for the repository. Also, renamed Willy's 'MSB' Live Edition to 'MATE'. | |||||

| 2015-12-02 | Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'. | Eric Hameleers | 2 | -10/+21 | |
| The persistence directory on USB is called 'persistence' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'persistence=<dirname>' parameter to the boot. The Live OS main directory is called 'liveslak' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'livemain=<dirname>' parameter to the boot. | |||||
