* Add support for a LUKS-encrypted /home in the USB Live version. Eric Hameleers2016-01-221-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Using iso2usb.sh script's new '-c' parameter, you can define the size for a container file in the root of the USB stick's Linux partition. - The container file will be loop-mounted and LUKS-encrypted and the Live OS will mount the filesystem inside the container on /home/. - The LUKS passphrase will be defined when executing the 'iso2usb.sh' script. - The original /home content of the ISO will be copied into the LUKS-encrypted container during execution of the 'iso2usb.sh' script. - If for whatever reason you do not want to unlock & mount the LUKS container during boot, you must add the boot parameter " luksvol= " to the syslinux or grub commandline.

* Fix X keyboard configuration if no custom layout was chosen at boot. Eric Hameleers2016-01-101-10/+12

* Added support for separate configuration of X keyboard layout/variant. Eric Hameleers2016-01-051-3/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New parameter for the boot commandline: xkb=[language],variant Examples: # Only specify a Xkbvariant, and inherit the console keyboard layout in X: kbd=nl xkb=,sundeadkeys # Define a 'french swiss' layout in X, independent of the console: xkb=ch,fr Two new keyboard/language choices have been added which use this functionality: - german swiss - french swiss (requested by Niki Kovacs). New: if a non-US keyboard layout is selected, the US layout will be added as a secondary layout. Toggling between the two layouts is possible using the Shift-LeftAlt key combo. Also new: the RightAlt key is now defined as the Compose Key in X. Meaning, the combo <RightAlt><"><e> will generate a 'ë character'.
* Make the init more robust. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-10/+38
| | | | | | | The computer may have other partitions which contain a Live image, we need to choose one. Alternatively, use "livemedia=/dev/sdX" to point init to the Live device we want to boot.

* Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'. Eric Hameleers2015-12-021-9/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | The persistence directory on USB is called 'persistence' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'persistence=<dirname>' parameter to the boot. The Live OS main directory is called 'liveslak' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'livemain=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
* Make the 'livemain' directory name configurable in make_slackware_live.sh Eric Hameleers2015-11-291-7/+8
