2017-04-17Get Slackware packages from remote mirror in absense of local copy Eric Hameleers1-23/+35
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.

Thanks to USUARIONUEVO for the suggestion.

2017-02-15make_slackware_live.sh: shuffle the order of sed operations for setup2hd. Eric Hameleers1-1/+5
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.
2017-02-02README: put some more emphasis in the ISO developer section. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
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.
2017-01-26Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.6.1.1.6 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-01-24Bump the version to 1.1.5.1 (development version for QA testing) Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2017-01-23The liveinit script is a template too and cannot be used as-is. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
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.
2017-01-23Make it obvious that some scripts are templates and cannot be used as-is. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
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.

2017-01-23setup2hd: more polishing of the Slackware installer scripts. Eric Hameleers1-2/+16
Hard-coded '/mnt' in the Slackware installer scripts is an ongoing annoyance. With the modifications in this commit I was able to successfully install Slackware Live to a UEFI computer using 'setup2hd'.
2017-01-10Add 'ntfs' module to the initrd for mounting NTFS partitions (read-only). Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
This should allow people to store the ISO on a NTFS filesystem and then use something like grub or pxelinux to boot liveslak from that ISO file using the 'livemedia=/dev/sdX:/path/to/slackwarelive.iso' syntax.
2017-01-02DLACK: improve first-boot experience.dlack Eric Hameleers1-0/+8
Disable two processes that consume time or are just annoying on first boot: - do not start gnome-initial-setup; - do not let systemd re-generate dynamic linker cache on boot.
2017-01-01DLACK: Add console keymap default setting for localectl. Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
In the hope that this makes gnome-terminal start finally.
2017-01-01DLACK: create a default config for localectl. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2016-12-28pkglists: add alien's restricted repository. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
Add packages from the restricted repository to the PLASMA5 ISO: - ffmpeg - handbrake - lame - libdvdcss - vlc Also, add 'keepassx' to alien's regular package list.

2016-12-15DLACK: add Dlackware as a DE choice when generating the ISO. Eric Hameleers1-3/+25
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
2016-12-13Make it possible to replace a package instead of simply upgrading it. Eric Hameleers1-5/+15
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.
2016-12-13Make setting of the root & live user's password a bit safer. Eric Hameleers1-2/+2
Additionally, this should work better with a PAM based system.
2016-12-08Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.5.1.1.5 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-11-30make_slackware_live.sh: liloconfig is in /sbin - not in /usr/sbin . Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-11-16(e)liloconfig need patching to make them work properly on Slackware Live. Eric Hameleers1-1/+3
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.
2016-11-09XFCE: remove unused glibc locales to conserve space. Eric Hameleers1-0/+15
The XFCE ISO is below 737.280.000 bytes again. Also, the 'vim' package fits in now, which makes gvim a lot more functional.
2016-11-09Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.4.1.1.4 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-11-09Make the name 'min' of the minimal package list customizable. Eric Hameleers1-4/+9
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.
2016-08-22Slackware Live Edition: version 1.1.3.1.1.3 Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2016-08-22Remove the confusing Openbox entry from xsessions menu if present. Eric Hameleers1-1/+3
2016-08-13make_slackware_live.sh: Removing old stuff should happen at the beginning. Eric Hameleers1-8/+8
2016-08-09Live OS: enable CUPS network browsing by default. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
This makes remote CUPS printers available locally.
2016-08-08XFCE: add tigervnc and HP printer support. Eric Hameleers1-2/+17
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.
2016-07-31Add '-G' parameter to generate ISO image from pre-existing file tree. Eric Hameleers1-99/+129
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.
