When a Live ISO is first copied to a USB drive using 'cp' or 'dd' and
next you use iso2usb.sh to remake the USB drive into a persistent Live OS,
traces of the old ISO9660 filesystem will remain and this confuses grub
when you boot on a UEFI computer.
So we will additionally use 'wipefs' to erase traces of filesystems.
In the help text, make it clear that '-c' and '-C' accept only integer numbers
for sizes and percentages. This is caused by a bash limitation in arithmetics.

Latte-dock depends on the window manager's compositor. If you use
Alt-Shift-F12 in Plasma5 to disable compositing (for instance if
you want to record audio and the compositor is just eating your
precious CPU cycles) then you do not want Latte-dock running.

Hopefully I'll get somewhere sometime and have ALSA/Pulse --> JACK working
out of the box.

Using a squashfs module created from nvidia-kernel and nvidia-driver packages.
A sample script for creating this nvidia module was added to liveslak, see:
./contrib/scripts/makemod_nvidia.
These two packages were created using the scripts from slackbuilds.org:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-kernel/
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-driver/
Note that the nvidia-driver package was created on a multilib system so that
it could pick up 32bit compat libraries (needed for Steam among others),
and the CURRENT variable was set to 'yes' so that the nvidia drivers are
fully separated from mesa and xorg-server and do not overwrite system libraries:
# COMPAT32="yes" CURRENT="yes" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild

Do not assume 1000 is a good default for UidNumber in all cases -
it may already have been taken.
Instead, find the first free number above 999.

It's increasingly difficult to keep the XFCE ISO below CDROM media maximum
size, 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB). Concessions had to be made to the list
of applications present in the XFCE ISO.

Liveslak can optionally load a OS config file "@DISTRO@_os.cfg" from within
the 'livemain' directory on the boot medium, which contains "VARIABLE=value"
lines, where VARIABLE is one of the following variables:
BLACKLIST, KEYMAP, LIVE_HOSTNAME, LOAD, LOCALE, LUKSVOL,
NOLOAD, RUNLEVEL, TWEAKS, TZ, XKB.
During boot, any variable from that file will be set in the boot environment
if it has not yet been defined in the init script.
You can prevent this behaviour by adding 'cfg=skip' to the boot commandline.

By default the UidNumber which is used to create the live account is: 1000.
The variable LIVEUIDNR can be set to another unused value if you want.
Remember, customizations go into 'make_slackware_live.conf'
so that you do not have to edit 'make_slackware_live.sh'.

Some people asked if it could be possible to reserve space on the USB stick
for a custom additional 4th partition, to be used freely and which will not get
touched by liveslak.
So, there is a new parameter to the script now, here is the help text:
-y|--layout <x,x,x,x> Specify partition layout and sizes (in MB).
Default values: '$DEF_LAYOUT' for 3 partitions,
the '-1' value for partition 3 meaning
'use all remaining space',
and an empty 4th value means 'do not reserve
free space for a custom 4th partition'.
The default layout of the USB stick remains:
partition 1 (1MB),
partition 2 (100 MB)
partition 3 (claim all free space - specified as 0 MB).
The script allows for an amount of free space to be left at the end
(partition 4, unused by liveslak) in case you need this:
This translates to the following DEF_LAYOUT variable value:
DEF_LAYOUT="1,100,-1,"

- Include disk partitioning (cgdisk and/or cfdisk) in the setup2hd (calling
new script 'Setudiskpart').
- Create a non-root user and set the root password through dialogs (calling
new scripts 'SeTuacct' and 'SeTupass').
- Attempt to speed up the rsync from the squashfs files to the hard drive.

This was fixed in Slackware as well in the meantime, but it does not harm
to keep it in here.

Nobody used the 1 GB ISO with a stripped KDE4 anyway, so I removed it.
DAW is a 'Work In Progress': I want a Ditigal Audio Workstation as a
Live Slackware OS with Plasma5. I want to learn if Plasma5 is lean and
fast enough for realtime audio processing. Probably it also needs PAM,
which will enter the main distro soon.

Note that the Plasma5 ISO size reduction was achieved by removing
almost all of the 'alien' packages which originate in my regular
package repositories.
Which means if you want a Plasma5 Live with calibre, libreoffice,
qbittorrent, vlc and all the other goodies, you will have to create
a persistent Live USB stick and add my packages as "addon modules".
