2017-09-19Add upslak.sh, a script to tweak the Live USB stick....Purpose: to update the content of a Slackware Live USB stick. upslak.sh accepts the following parameters: -b|--nobackup Do not try to backup original kernel and modules. -d|--devices List removable devices on this computer. -h|--help This help. -i|--init <filename> Replacement init script. -k|--kernel <filename> The kernel file (or package). -m|--kmoddir <name> The kernel modules directory (or package). -n|--netsupport Add network boot support if not yet present. -o|--outdev <filename> The device name of your USB drive. -p|--persistence Move persistent data into new Live module. -r|--restore Restore previous kernel and modules. -s|--scan Scan for insertion of new USB device instead of providing a devicename (using option '-o'). -v|--verbose Show verbose messages. -w|--wait<number> Add <number> seconds wait time to initialize USB.

2017-09-19iso2usb.sh - add options to list or scan for removable devices...Two new script options were added: -d|--devices List removable devices on this computer. -s|--scan Scan for insertion of new USB device instead of providing a devicename (using option '-o'). Eric Hameleers1-2/+65
2017-09-19iso2usb.sh - some minor tweaks Eric Hameleers1-4/+6
2017-09-19Add dhcpcd to the initrd always...Dhcpcd is for NFS root support. Adding it outside of the network kernel module loop allows us to update the kernel modules separately and more easily. Eric Hameleers1-6/+6
2017-09-19PLASMA5: remove the non-functional Wayland sesion from the dropdown Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
2017-09-19XFCE: remove some more files to keep the ISO file size below limit...The XFCE ISO is meant to fit on a CDROM medium. CDROM ISO images must be at most 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB). Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2017-09-19plasma5: add new packages for KDE 5_17.09...+ ddcutil + id3lib + kirigami2 Eric Hameleers1-0/+3
2017-09-19multilib: add latest packages...+ gc-compat32 + lame-compat32 + libidn2-compat32 + libwebp-compat32 + vulkan-sdk-compat32 Eric Hameleers1-0/+5
2017-09-10Prefer syslinux files available on the computer....We will use our own copy of syslinux files only as a fallback, because it is safer to use the versions of files that come with syslinux on the computer which runs iso2usb.sh. Eric Hameleers2-3/+24
2017-07-31liveinit: reset freetype hinting params to defaults on every boot Eric Hameleers1-5/+9
2017-07-23Rearrange some variable definitions to create a re-usable block for upslak...The 'upslak.sh' script will be added in the near future, it allows (among others) to upgrade the liveslak kernel and its modules on your liveslak USB stick. Eric Hameleers1-8/+10
2017-07-21New syslinux requirement: disable 64bit feature in mke2fs command...See http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Filesystem As of Syslinux 6.03, "pure 64-bits" compression/encryption is not supported. Modern mke2fs creates file systems with the metadata_csum and 64bit features enabled by default. Explicitly disable 64bit feature in the mke2fs command with '-O ^64bit'; otherwise, the syslinux bootloader (>= 6.03) will fail. Eric Hameleers1-1/+7
2017-07-19Allow syntax 'livemedia=scandev:/path/to/live.iso'...Use the 'scandev' keyword instead of specifying an actual partition name if you want liveslak to scan all partitions for the ISO. Use this if you are not sure of the devicename and have no means of figuring it out. Eric Hameleers2-2/+31
2017-07-19iso2usb.sh: add quotes around $SLISO to allow for spaces in te pathname Eric Hameleers1-4/+4
2017-07-18Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.8.21.1.8.2 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-07-18Run a 'slackpkg new-config' just to be safe...Normally there should not be .new files, but recently there was a bug in ap/cgmanager where the .new files were not moved to their final spot. Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
2017-07-18PLASMA5 variant: added applications-extra/kile Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2017-07-18XFCE variant: make it fit on a 703 MB CDROM medium again...Yet more aggressive pruning of unneeded files (documentation mostly). Packages that were (re-)added: min/ghostscript min/libedit min/libidn2 xbase/SDL2 xbase/SDL2_gfx xbase/SDL2_image xbase/SDL2_mixer xbase/SDL2_net xbase/SDL2_ttf xbase/libbluray xbase/ocl-icd Packages that were removed: min/elvis min/lilo xapbase/xpaint xbase/djvulibre xbase/gtk+ xbase/liberation-fonts-ttf xbase/xv xfce/orage Eric Hameleers5-14/+47
2017-07-18Document the 'debug=<number>' boot parameter...'2' enables verbose script execution; '4' dumps you into a debug shell right before the switch_root. Eric Hameleers1-0/+3

2017-06-30Updated the package lists Eric Hameleers5-1/+9
2017-06-16Add 'sdhci-pci:sdhci-acpi' to KMODS...Adding 'sdhci-pci:sdhci-acpi' to KMODS is needed to make liveslak boot off a Dell e7440 with O2 Micro, Inc. Integrated MMC/SD Controller. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1

2017-05-10Also remove the now unnecessary eliloconfig.patch for -current Eric Hameleers2-26/+0
2017-05-10In -current the hardcoded /mnt in initrd and eliloconfig was fixed...Therefore we need to update the way we patch eliloconfig in -current and the installer scripts. Patching is still needed for Slackware 14.2. Eric Hameleers1-5/+14
2017-05-09Added some packages from 'alien' repository to the PLASMA5 ISO...These were added to the package list: - mkvtoolnix (still need to make a package for it) - nodejs (a new build dep for chromium) - palemoon (as a leaner alternative to firefox) Eric Hameleers1-0/+4
2017-05-09Disable studioware repository in slackpkg+ configuration...The repository metadata is not correct and yields the error: "Repository 'studioware' FAILS the CHECKSUMS.md5 download". Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
2017-05-09eliloconfig patch needs to be made release-specific...The script started to diverge in -current, and the patch would no longer apply. Eric Hameleers4-27/+63
2017-05-02Intermediate version 1.1.7.1 to highlight the recent updates Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-05-02XFCE: remove some fonts from the ISO to reduce ISO size...With this change, the ISO drops again below 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB) Removed from xbase.lst: font-adobe-100dpi font-bh-100dpi font-bh-75dpi font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi font-bh-ttf font-bitstream-75dpi font-bitstream-type1 sazanami-fonts-ttf Removed from xfcebase.lst: xfce4-weather-plugin Eric Hameleers2-10/+10
2017-05-02XFCE: some more aggressive pruning of content to reduce the ISO size Eric Hameleers1-1/+9
2017-05-02Add some convenience aliases to root's shell environment as well Eric Hameleers1-0/+4
2017-05-01Add some convenience to the bash shell environment Eric Hameleers1-0/+16
2017-05-01Add a bit more output detail when starting the script Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-04-30Add boot-time tweak 'nsh' to disable new sub-pixel hinting in freetype...Freetype has enabled a 'new style' of sub-pixel hinting, based on the Infinality patch but simplified for speed. Some people feel that this new type of hinting is resulting in worse font rendering than with the old auto-hinter built into Freetype. The new tweak 'nsh' effectively disables the new type of sub-pixel hinting and makes Freetype fall back to the old behaviour. Usage: add "tweaks=nsh" to the boot commandline of the Live OS.

2017-04-17Add more 'cleanup' routines where the script forcibly exits Eric Hameleers1-0/+7
2017-04-17Get Slackware packages from remote mirror in absense of local copy...Previously, the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script would exit if no local copy of a Slackware package mirror was available. Now, the script will download a copy from a default rsync mirror (osuosl.org) instead, and then proceed with creating a Live ISO. Another rsync URI can be specified in the .conf file if you want. Eric Hameleers2-23/+38
2017-04-17Fix determination of the correct KAPPEND value. Eric Hameleers1-5/+9
