Patch for lilo

Please consider this patch for lilo.

Code:
On my system, the Sandisk Cruzer USB Stick has file names in /dev/disk/by-id/, that contain
colons: this causes lilo to fail when using one of these files as a boot disk. This patch
replaces the failure with a warning.

Seems like simple bugfixes here, so I'll probably take it.

This does not even compile here. Besides, for an update of eudev I'll need some justification. Messing with (e)udev is generally not a good idea to do for no reason.

Looks like the newer gperf is causing it (the eudev we're carrying now doesn't compile either), but there's a patch.

Still, in the complete absence of reported eudev problems I'm not confident that fixing what doesn't seem to be broken is a good idea.

You are right, I had compiled this new version January 07, before, the update of gperf.

Add LUKs/LVM setup within the installer itself

I have been trying to dabble with LUKs and LVM - it would be kinda cool to have sort of an option in the installer itself to set up a LUKs/LVM in the advanced settings

But would it make sense?
It's probably a lot of effort GUI-ing the commands, and for advanced setups you're probably better off with command line.
My point is that you need to understand what you're doing, and once you know, you probably don't want the GUI anymore.

Just my personal opinion.

Thanks you for making me laughing with tears!

For Gods sake, where/when you seen a Graphical User Interface into Slackware Setup, about which you talk with serenity?

With some huge optimism, we can talk eventually about a Text User Interface, aka TUI...

Hi,

Surely by GUI I meant text/menu based interface.
And making your day nice and happy is my primary task, probably that's the only reason I live.
