2016-04-12Umount LIVE_ROOTDIR's sub-mounts properly on emergency cleanup. Eric Hameleers1-0/+3
2016-04-08liveinit: correctly create an overlay of all installed content. Eric Hameleers1-5/+12
The 'setup2hd' script will use this readonly overlay to install to your harddrive. However, this readonly overlay still contained the Live customizations which you do not want copied over to your harddrive. This update fixes the logical fallacy so that 'setup2hd' works properly now.
2016-03-29XFCE: add 'squashfs-tools' to the minimal package list (min.lst). Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
The squashfs-tools are an essential package when using 'setup2hd', the Slackware Live OS' harddisk installer. The XFCE ISO does not contain setup2hd at all (it only gets added to ISOs with a huge kernel) but if someone creates a custom Live OS containing a huge kernel but based on the minimal XFCE variant, this custom Live OS requires the presence of unsquashfs, or else 'setup2hd' will fail.
2016-03-29Fix the 'setup2hd' script's method of Live content installation. Eric Hameleers3-42/+52
In the original version of the script, the squashfs modules' contents would be extracted one after the other. However this disregards any package or file deletions inbetween modules. As a result, e.g. a PLASMA5 installation to disk using 'setup2hd' would leave several artefacts in removed_scripts and removed_packages and probably in other locations too. The overlay is now constructed somewhat differently, so that 'setup2hd' can access the full read-only filesystem properly; it will copy this content to the harddisk using rsync. A progress indicator will show the stats of files that are actually being transferred. At the same time, the 'setup2hd' script's language settings are now hard-coded by setting 'LC_ALL' and LANG to "C". Slackware's setup scripts parse command output and expect english texts there, but when you selected a different language when booting your Live OS, this would confuse e.g. 'liloconfig' to the extent that it failed to find the Linux partitions.
2016-03-23Changed layout of README.txt slightly for better match with Wiki version. Eric Hameleers1-138/+201
When changes need to be made to README.txt and its Wiki version at http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:liveslak I want to be able to diff the two easily.
2016-03-23Fix a bug in the program flow related to CONSFONT. Eric Hameleers1-6/+7
If the predefined console font (CONSFONT variable) was not found on the system, the make_slackware_live.sh script would abort with an error.
2016-03-18Add support for 32-bit UEFI boot (disabled by default). Eric Hameleers3-47/+84
This requires functionality in grub which is currently not enabled in Slackware's grub package. If you want a 32-bit Live ISO that boots on UEFI computers, you need to recompile Slackware's grub with the patch for grub.SlackBuild which you can find in the ./patches subdirectory. Then you need to set the variable "EFI32" to "YES" in the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script and (re-)generate your 32-bit ISO. The resulting 32-bit Live ISO will be UEFI-bootable.
