I think this 'liveslak' product is in a pretty stable state now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allows the user to start the SSH server, now that it is disabled by default.
|
|
The passwords for users 'live' and 'root' are easy to guess.
When you use the Slackware Live Edition on a public network,
you do not want people to use an exposed SSH login.
If you still want to have the SSH daemon enabled on boot, use the
'tweak' boot parameter and provide a 'ssh' value as follows:
"tweak=ssh"
This can be combined with other tweaks of course, all comma-separated.

The functionality of the old "nga" parameter is now implemented as a "tweak".
Tweaks are customizations that cater to specific hardware needs.
Syntax: tweaks=tweak1[,tweak2,[,...]]
Example: tweaks=nga,tpb
Currently implemented tweaks:
- nga => no glamor acceleration (X.Org tweak).
- tpb => enable TrackPoint scrolling while holding down middle mouse button.
- syn => start the syndaemon for better support of Synaptics touchpads.

Default behaviour of makemod is to overwrite the destination squashfs module
without asking. When adding the '-i' switch to the 'makemod' command,
the script will ask explicitly whether it is allowed to overwrite an
existing file.
Also added is a '-h' switch which shows help on using the script.
Bugfix: add "-noappend" to the squashfs command in the script to avoid
adding new data to an existing squashfs module.

Provided by GigglesUK, thanks.

And it is ready for a stable 1.0.0 version if no further bugs are uncovered.
|
|
|
|
The number '14' used in the script could be any (unique) low-range number.
|

Packages added:
+ netkit-ftp
+ netkit-routed
|
|
|
|
See the README.txt for instructions on how to use the 'pxeserver' script
and what it can do for you.
|
|
|
|
This default behaviour can be prohibited by applying an extended 'hostname'
boot parameter as follows:
hostname=your_custom_hostname,fixed
The qualifier 'fixed' after the comma will prevent the hostname from being
changed to something else than 'your_custom_hostname'.

Results in a nicer looking welcome screen when you boot the Live OS
without the graphical syslinux menu.

Added packages:
+ bind
+ dnsmasq
+ idnkit
+ traceroute
Removed packages:
- xfractint
- xlockmore
- xmms
The XFCE ISO has xaos as alternative to xfractint. The xlockmore program
is not used anyway (we have xscreensaver).
XMMS was a hard call but there's audacious still.
In return, you get useful stuff like nslookup and host, and dnsmasq is
required by the PXE server (soon to be added).

The resulting ISO will boot on real hardware as well as in virtualizers
like QEMU, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, despite the warning shown by
isohybrid that the ISO has more than 1024 cilynders and not all BIOSes
will be able to boot it.
Specifying sectors/heads to stay "standard compliant" will generate ISO
files that fail to boot in VirtualBox if the ISO filesize is larger
than roughly 1 GB, spitting out the error "VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED".

New boot parameter:
dhcpwait=<numseconds>
Maximum wait time for the DHCP client to configure a network interface
(new default: 20 seconds, was 10 seconds).
|
|
New parameter:
-O outfile => Full path to a custom filename for the ISO.

A new file 'setup2hd.local' has been added to the liveslak sources.
If you do not touch that one, it will be copied to:
/usr/share/${LIVEMAIN}/setup2hd.$DISTRO.sample and serve as just that,
a sample script.
If on the other hand you rename the file to 'setup2hd.$DISTRO' before
generating your ISO image ($DISTRO being the name of your own distro,
like 'CINELIVE'), then this file will be installed in the ISO as
/usr/share/${LIVEMAIN}/setup2hd.$DISTRO and this will be sourced
by 'setup2hd' providing you a custom post-install customization hook
for your own Live distro.
Usage instructions are inside 'setup2hd.local'.

This shrinks the initrd back from 22 to 17 MB in size.
Also, a redundant copy of the initrd was removed from the
'0000-slackware_boot' module, reducing the ISO size with an
additional 17 MB.
These two modifications compensate for the increased size due to
addition of network modules and firmware (which are needed for
network boot).
Goal reached: the XFCE ISO still fits on CDROM media.

It is now possible to PXE-boot the Slackware Live Edition.
Extract the content of the ISO to (for instance) a new directory
called 'slackware-live' below your TFTP server's /tftproot directory
and then add lines like this to your pxelinux.cfg/default file:
label liveslak
kernel slackware-live/boot/generic
append initrd=slackware-live/boot/initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 kbd=us tz=Europe/Amsterdam locale=us_EN.utf8 nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/slackware-live hostname=pxelive
Two new boot parameters have been added to support a NFS root:
* nfsroot => mandatory parameter defines the IP address of the NFS server
and the path to the extracted content of Slackware Live Edition.
* nic => parameter defining the driver for the network card (optional
and usually not needed because UDEV will figure out the driver for you),
the interface name (optional),
the IP configuration method (static IP or DHCP),
and in case of a static IP, the required parameters ipaddress, netmask
and an optional gateway.
Note that the 'nic' parameter is optional if you have a DHCP server in
your LAN: Slackware Live will figure out what the interface name is.
Syntax of these parameters:
nfsroot=ip.ad.dr.ess:/path/to/liveslak
nic=<driver>:<interface>:<dhcp|static>[:ipaddr:netmask[:gateway]]
Example use of these parameters:
nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/tftproot/slackware-live
nic=auto:eth0:static:10.0.0.21:24:
nic=:eth1:static:192.168.1.6:255.255.255.248:192.168.1.1
