Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1
Posted: 24. Sep 2014, 05:55
Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1 is ready for testing.
The Salix Live XFCE 14.1 beta1 ISO includes the same programs as the installation ISO, with the addition of gslapt and deps for it, need for partitioning before making the installation. It is build using Slackware Live scripts from Slackware Live -LiNomad and includes the SLI installer from Slackware Live -LiNomad which it is written in c (gtk+2) and glade. Slackware Live scripts and SLI installer has been further developed adding support for user creation and gparted connectivity for managing partitions, setting locale, keyboard and support for core, basic and full installation modes. From SLI installer gui user can set new username and password ( there is no root account, as in the installation ISO). (e)Lilo is used as the boot loader for 32 and 64 bit systems, same with the installation ISO image's.
Also can install the system in a usb (frugal) and use persistent changes, having Salix in your pocket. On isos image in syslinux folder there are scripts to install on usb. Just mount iso image and copy everything to usb. Then cd to boot/syslinux folder on usb and run sudo sh install_on_usb.sh script to make the usb bootable. Same can be done with bootinst.sh script. Choose what you like. From windows the scripts are install_on_USB.cmd and bootinst.bat. Using this method everything else you have already on usb will not be erased.
You can do the same from the live environment using the SLI installer. In this case everything on usb will be erased.
Another option is to use dd command to install on usb. In this case everything on usb will be erased as well.
There is no live kernel. The kernel used is exactly the same with the 3.10.17 kernel of Slackware.
With this approach creating the installation iso's, at the same time using the already downloaded packages can build the live flavor too.
source's on github for creating live isos.
You don't need a password for the regular user and auto-logged in user one
Password for user one is “one”.
