Hi Guys,
Would it be possible to have LVM included in the installed packages by default with the next release? Device mapper is already installed so it would only be one item to add. Please
Thanks,

Include LVM in next release?
Re: Include LVM in next release?
cryptsetup-luks with it's static binary would enable encryption support. Together with LVM it's very easy to get a completely encrypted system with only one passphrase:

Just to let you know that if you need it urgently you can do it yourself! Just grab the iso, open it with isomaster, put the lvm package in the core directory and save to a new iso.EricC wrote:Would it be possible to have LVM included in the installed packages by default with the next release?

But we don't have such a package in our repos. :Shador wrote:cryptsetup-luks with it's static binary would enable encryption support. Together with LVM it's very easy to get a completely encrypted system with only one passphrase:

Re: Include LVM in next release?
That is easy. Almost too easy I always thought something like that would invalidate the checksum of the ISO.gapan wrote: Just to let you know that if you need it urgently you can do it yourself!

Re: Include LVM in next release?
It will, but why should you care? You can get a new checksum with md5sum.EricC wrote:I always thought something like that would invalidate the checksum of the ISO.

Re: Include LVM in next release?
I somehow thought that crypsetup-luks was a different package than that.
Re: Include LVM in next release?
Actually on Zenwalk cryptsetup-luks only installs cryptsetup as dep. So actually both provide the new luks version of cryptsetup.gapan wrote:I somehow thought that crypsetup-luks was a different package than that.
There are also those 2 very complete and informative slackware readmes:
