So you mean boot folder files have to be movved to /EFI/BOOT/ and remove boot folder and partition.
But then everything has to be changed from SLI to install_on_usb.sh and the scripts creating the iso, they use boot directory and not BOOT. Second (for 64bit) or forth partition (for 32bit)
So i think i will leave it as it is. Since all have been tested and are working fine. I do not know if i change things what problems might appeared.
I have prepared a rc1 version including the latest updates from slackware-14.1
I will upload the iso images and inform here.

I (or someone) needs to write the README before the final release. A bit busy this week but I'll try and do it tonight.

All you need to do is to
not create the first partition. Everything else can remain the same.

djemos, that looks great to me. I would add two things:
After the sentence which says there is no need to specify iso, I would add: However, you do need to specify the architecture, because this affects the location of the perssitent file.
I think it's worth giving an example command for mounting the iso:
Code: Select all
mkdir /tmp/foo/bar
sudo mount -o loop path/to/iso /tmp/foo/bar

Done. Please take a look again in the README

I think it would be better if the instructions for mounting went up at the top, and also if the directory in the example was the same - you used /tmp/iso, I used /tmp/foo/bar. /tmp/iso make more sense. ALso I forgot sudo before mkdir. So just put the three lines of bash together like this:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /tmp/iso
sudo mount -o loop path_to_iso_image /tmp/iso
cd /tmp/iso/boot
sudo sh install_on_usb.sh --usb path_to_iso_image device
(actually four lines) that way it is clearer and easier for users uncertain on the command line.

elilo.conf params.msg message.msg general.msg exist on first partition.
efi.img on second partition is used as a link to bootx64.efi on first partition to load elilo.conf
So things are not simple just to delete the first partition.
I have modified the script so this is an
install_on_usb.sh which install iso on a single partition. This has to be tested on installing the system on a UEFI 64 bit system as well on a non uefi 64bit system on a virtual box at least.

I will test on non-UEFI, maybe laprjns can test on UEFI.
