Refreshed entire system, updated to latest -current.
NOTE: First boot GDM defaults to login to "Gnome Classic", you will
likely want to click the gear in the bottom-right corner and select
either GNOME (Wayland) or the GNOME (X11) sessions to use modern
GNOME. It will save your choice.
I've had to remove the xap/ series as the GFS repo has become too
large, if you wish to add anything your missing, please install with
slackpkg!
This liveslak ISO is a semi-stripped down Slackware installation with
a complete GNOME Desktop. This is the same system you can achieve by
installing the GFS repository locally, only portable. I've edited
AlienBob's liveslak script to tailor it to the GNOME environment, and as
such, it boots to GDM to which you login to GNOME from within. This
uses Slackware's SysVinit system, GNOME is patched for elogind and
operates like a normal Slackware install.
Updates are done occasionally to the ISO system itself, but you are
always free to keep it up to date with slackpkg+ (included). We ship the
full base GNOME Desktop to which you may add many extra apps by installing
the full set including the "GNOME World" applications by invoking:
'slackpkg install gnome' as the root user. To keep the ISO size sane
I've omitted many pkgsets from a full install, dropping the pkgsets
e,f,k,kde,t, much of xap, and xfce. Anything you need from them
is installable with 'slackpkg' as you normally would.
All documentation for AlienBob's liveslak works just the same here.
'iso2usb.sh' will write the ISO with persistence, 'upslak.sh' will
add local modules (and process kernel updates) to a squashfs file,
'setup2hd.sh' will install the OS to your hdd...etc.
