Alien Bob,
1.1.3 is now installed and this is what I'd call a 32-bit Slackware release tree:
I do not know what file name the script expects the Slackware release tree to be in other than 'mirrors'.
Also to generate an XFCE image, I've put "slackware64-current" directory below SL_REPO, and inside "slackware64-current", directories "slackware64" and "extra".
The errors trapped are the same as before.

You download a 32bit Slackware release and then tell the script it needs to look for a 64bit Slackware release in there? That will of course fail.
Last attempt:
Suppose you download a 64bit Slackware release and then run the script?
Code:
cd /tmp
mkdir repo
cd repo
lftp -c "open http://ftp.osuosl.org/.2/slackware/ ; mirror slackware64-current"
cd /home/live/iso/make
./make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -s /tmp/repo -R 3
Or alternatively if you want to create a 32bit ISO:
Code:
cd /tmp
mkdir repo
cd repo
lftp -c "open http://ftp.osuosl.org/.2/slackware/ ; mirror slackware-current"
cd /home/live/iso/make
./make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -s /tmp/repo -R 3 -a i586
Hi,
SL_REPO is now '/mnt/livemedia/repo' due to 16GB thumb drive memory constraints.
Now, the script aborted due to missing kernel . . ..
Code:
wget-1.18-i586-1: a non-interactive network retriever .................. [2.6M]
which-2.21-i586-1: shows the full path to shell commands ............... [90K]
whois-5.2.12-i586-1: whois directory client ............................ [220K]
xz-5.2.2-i586-1: compression utility based on the LZMA algorithm ....... [1.1M]
-- Could not find installed kernel in '/mnt/livemedia/slackwarelive_staging/temp/min_2080'! Exiting.
bash-4.3#
What could have happened to the installed kernel that's missng from its directory?

Works fine here; with a full 32bit Slackware (current) mirror sitting below SL_REPO and using the command "./make_slackware_live.sh -a i586 -d XFCE". Did you c hange anything in the script? Are you using its latest version from git?

Alien Bob,
With minimal script tweaks & latest git version, iso2usb generated a bootable usb disk!

My LiveCD suggestion is to remove XFCE 'network-manager' bloat and replace it with Busy Box 'udhcpc.'

My LiveCD suggestion is to remove XFCE 'network-manager' bloat and replace it with Busy Box 'udhcpc.'
My suggestion is to stop wasting my time. You can (1) expand the XFCE Live ISO with all the packages you want... or (2) switch to the full SLACKWARE Live ISO.
The XFCE ISO was polluted more than enough with all the hplip crap you requested and apparently it will never be 'OK' to you. Fine, so you are not my target audience.
Those are my final words to you.
