Thanks JRD
Please check out the 64bit live version here, it's multilib too
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/slack.html
i havent updated it lately but the LLS in /root is what you want
yeah, the LLS I use and probably yours also, works with any type of 4.0+ squashfs
I did a comparo between using reg squashfs 4.0 (2.6.35.7 hugesmp) and squashfs-lzma (4.1)
and the thing that stood out was the compression differences 690mb cd vs 900mb cd
today I made a livecd using ARCH's squashfs-tools 4.1.2 and 2.6.36 with just aufs2 and reg squashfs
and it worked good also
the trick is to put whatever version of squashfs-tools in linux-live-6.3.0/tools/
mksquashfs and unsquashfs
so, you know if you have a kernel thats using just squashfs 4.0, then you put the appropriate mksquashfs/unsquashfs in linux-live-6.3.0/tools/
I have used mksquashfs/unsquashfs versions 4.0 and up from debian,arch, and yours and they say that using 4.0 is better than lzma because it takes longer to boot and uses alot of resources to decompress the fs into ram, etc
so, I guess 4.0 non-lzma boots faster, uses less resources, but is much bigger
?
you guys should start also hunting the ARCH AUR repo as they have many many cool apps and such
like aufs2-all which builds a aufs2 module for the running kernel
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38249
or my fav PCManFM-Mod, which is smokin, its in all 4 versions of nFluxOS
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34819
look at all the homemade Window Managers they have
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? ... _Search=Go
catwm? lol
their (ARCH) forums are a gold mine of info too as ARCH and Slackware are very close in philosophy and such
also, JRD, have you seen the Archbang and archiso-live builds?
they also use a version of LLS
theres archiso-live
https://github.com/godane/archiso-live
and the new archiso2 which is how ArchBang is made
https://github.com/godane/archiso2
just in case you wanna check out how they do LLS and the first archiso-live does like 6 different builds incl Slitaz and wolvix?!
anyway, the new Live iso's are awesome, and keep it up!
