hey big_bass
I finally figured out how to make a AUR pkg for the live ARCH 2.6.35.7 kernel
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41353
I have to update some stuff on it too, just minor editing,etc
and the tuxonice works on my old K8 I have it on
just grab the AUR pkgs hibernate-script and tuxoniceuserui
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24613
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37110
even though it doesnt list it as a depends fbsplash is really needed
too
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13541
and I now got a 2.6.35.7 kernel for the slack builds too
I still have to create the pkg for ARCH that gives one the scripts etc to make livecd from the livez kernel,etc
have you ever made a ARCH pkg?
its not very easy...compared to Slackware
I really wish Slackware would put out a official livecd or DVD
you know the linux-live-scripts dont just make a livecd
it's also a way to backup your complete system and reinstall it somewhere else or whatever
you can clone machines and their state is frozen at the time their created
and the builds can be modified after making them, they can be deconstructed and remade
you can rescue a installed system by turning it into a livecd
you can do this from the livecd without chrooting
just copy the kernel/modules and lls to messed up system, run the build script and point it to your install and bam, instant backup
I think its easier than clonezilla, dd, etc
and foolproof and repeatable
I agree its pretty complex to make the arch/slackware builds as the parts to do so come from various unofficial sources
the linux-live-6.3.0_x86 & linux-live-6.3.0x86_64 scripts are a modification of the original because
1) the OG lls 6.3.0 only works with squashfs 3.4
2) the OG lls 6.3.0 only does x86
All thanks go to Ritchie at Slax Forum for the Linux-Live rebuilds for squashfs-lzma 4.1 cvs
All thanks go to Fathom at Slax forum, maker of the slackware current based SlaxRemix08 for the kernel patches aufs2 and squashfs-lzma
All thanks go to anyone/everyone from LQ and ARCH forums, who's advice,etc helped create everything I have made via Remastersys and Linux-Live scripts
All thanks go to the members of LQ who have answered all my dumb questions and saved me time and effort in learning Linux
oh
you know I could use the default Slackware 2.6.33.4 kernel source
and use squashfs 4.0; the build will be bigger sans lzma, but it will boot faster due to quicker decompression of the compressed media
however, would it still have a the newest stuff like 2.6.35.7?
no, so theres a tradeoff there I guess??
I was gonna write a small book on the whole process and all the nuances, etc but I dont think it would sell
