You will get assistance posting a comment to the blog post, not here. Furthermore posting a specific issue in a thread with a different topic is very annoying, even more so repeating it less than a day after.

If you want to discuss this Live ISO, do so on my blog page on that subject, and do not abuse this generic thread.

Also, use all-caps once more and I will gladly add you to my ignore list.

On a small scale, he made me look seriously at Slackware* - which I, at least, consider a benefit.

*My first and continuing reaction being "I really wish that I had done this much earlier".

Hi,

Now that we have Slackware64 Live, I have created the section Slackware64_Live in Slackware®-Links

This will allow me to keep everyone up to date with Alien_Bob's work for Slackware64 Live.

I for one think this is something very special for Slackware users both new & old to allow us to show what Slackware can do by providing a Live session. Talk about a walking distribution! I can just pull out my flash, plug it in an show others what Slackware can do. :)

Another big 'Thank You' and appreciation for the work done by Eric on the best Gnu/Linux available.

Slackware lives on with a new Slackware64 Live!

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Beta 3 is just around the corner. Will have the latest Slackware64-current and a working UEFI boot (that was my milestone for Beta3). I have themed GRUB for the UEFI boot so it looks quite similar to the Syslinux boot screen I use for BIOS boot.

The Plasma 5 ISO will have the (not yet released) Plasma 5.5.1 as well as (also not yet released as a package) LibreOffice 5.0.4. Plus a lot of other goodies from my repository.
The XFCE ISO will still fit on a CDROM and then there is the regular Full Slackware64 ISO of course.
I will not create new ISOs for Mate or Cinnamon, because my server disk space is almost full.

Release... hopefully tomorrow.

Slackware64 Live
 
Hi,

Eric provides a method to use 'live' without burning image to media.

Quote:
What's new in 0.7.0?

I could not spare as much time as for the previous betas (work comes first because it pays for food and shelter). So the new ISO images are primarily meant to be a showcase of both Slackware -current and the new Plasma 5 version. Still, there are a few things to mention.
  • The scope of the boot parameter "livemedia" has been extended. It will now also accept an ISO file (containing Slackware Live Edition of course) as parameter value, so that you can more easily test a freshly downloaded ISO without having to copy it to a USB stick or burn it to a DVD first. It's use is quite versatile:
    • "livemedia=/dev/sdX1:/path/to/live.iso" points to an ISO file on partition "/dev/sdX1".
    • "livemedia=DATA:/path/to/liveslak.iso" points to an ISO file on a filesystem with label "DATA".
    • "livemedia="7550954e-3d40-4e46-ae91-d02dce1d52a4:/your/live.iso" points to an ISO file on a partition with a specific UUID.

What’s new in 0.7.0?

It’s use is quite versatile:

    • “livemedia=DATA:/path/to/liveslak.iso” points to an ISO file on a filesystem with label “DATA”.
    • “livemedia=”7550954e-3d40-4e46-ae91-d02dce1d52a4:/your/live.iso” points to an ISO file on a partition with a specific UUID.
  • A new boot parameter “nga” was added. It stands for “no glamor acceleration” and should be useful on hardware (including QEMU virtual hardware) where X.Org refuses to start with the error “EGL_MESA_drm_image required; (EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed“. It adds a file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to disable glamor 2D acceleration, something which used to be off by default and since X.Org 1.18 seems to be on by default.
  • The “setup2hd” hard disk installer was polished a little bit.
  • A wiki-fied version of the README.txt documentation was added to the Slackware Documentation Project. See http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:liveslak.
  • Documentation on how to customize the Live Edition for your own Slackware derivative was added. This is a work in progress – I still need to separate the syslinux and grub theming from the menu content.
  • Lots of small improvements and bug fixes were applied to liveslak. Check out the commit log if you are interested.
Download the ISO images

I have created ISO images for the SLACKWARE, XFCE, PLASMA5 and MATE flavours using the latest Slackware64-current packages available (Mon Mar 14 02:18:20 UTC 2016) as well as the latest Plasma 5 release which I yet have to upload to ‘ktown‘… you will see it first on Slackware Live Edition!
You can find the ISO images plus their MD5 checksum and GPG signature at any of the following locations – look in the “0.7.0” subdirectory for ISOs based on the liveslak-0.7.0 scripts. I made a symlink called “latest” which will always point to the latest set of ISO images:
These mirror servers will sync up in the next 24 hours – slackware.uk is already uptodate.
Good to know when you boot the ISO

Slackware Live Edition knows two user accounts: root (with password ‘root’) and live (with password ‘live’). My advice: login as user live and use “su” or “sudo” to get root access.
Note: the “su” and “sudo” commands will want the ‘live’ user’s password!
Slackware Live Edition is able to boot both on BIOS-based computers (where syslinux takes care of the boot menu) and UEFI systems (where grub builds the boot menu, which looks quite similar to the syslinux menu):
Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
