Post (Off-Topic) My preparations for make a SlackwareLive(64) 15.0 Xfce


Hi there, this post is just for remember what things i do, trying to creating a Customized Live Version of Slackware64 15.0.

Some Screnshots Links:

1 : Well the first is prepare QEmu, i just skip that, because i just use "aqemu" for prepare "Disk Image" and mount "cd-rom" and boot from there for start "Slackware Live 15.0 Xfce" to install to virtual hard disk drive.

2 : Commands in a terminal for start download the iso :

Code:
mkdir -p /media/Compartido/Slack64-15.0
Slacklive="/media/Compartido/Slack64-15.0"
cd "$Slacklive"
wget -c 'https://slackware.nl/slackware-live/latest/slackware64-live-xfce-current.iso.asc'
wget -c 'https://slackware.nl/slackware-live/latest/slackware64-live-xfce-current.iso.md5'
wget -c 'https://slackware.nl/slackware-live/latest/slackware64-live-xfce-current.iso'
3 : After i had set the configuration for QEmu Virtual Machine via "aqemu", i prepare a "USB" / "Pendrive" with some configuration files like ".bashrc" for just replace it in each user.

i start with the follow command :

Code:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-monitor stdio \
-cpu kvm64 \
-soundhw es1370 \
-k es \
-machine accel=kvm \
-m 1024 \
-cdrom "/media/Compartido/Slack64-15.0/slackware64-live-xfce-current.iso" \
-hda "/home/inukaze/.aqemu/Slack64-15.0.qcow2" \
-boot once=c,menu=off \
-net nic,model=ne2k_pci \
-net user \
-usb -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \
-device usb-host,bus=ehci.0,hostbus=1,hostport=1 \
-rtc base=localtime \
-name "SlackLive64 14.2"
I use the command given in the options but removing the "vlan" parameters because that are making imposible start the virtual machine.

4 : Install distro normally
5 : Boot the installed distro, and use the follow commands

Code:
sudo su
slackpkg update
#This ask something about download GPG, write YES and press Enter to continue.

6 : Starting to Remove Package i really don't need for my custom version

Code:
slackpkg remove \
xsane \
geeqie \
mousepad \
hexchat \
MPlayer\
v4l-utils \
xterm \
blueman
# Just for i conside is very useful i try to ran xfce4-clipman:
# xfce4-clipman : does not start : first try to find which libraries need
ldd /usr/bin/xfce4-clipman | grep 'not found'
#on my case i just need "libqrencode.so.4", searching on Slackware Package site, searching by content :
#i need the package "qrencode"
Code:
slackpkg install qrencode
7 : Install packages i want :

Error "putfont: KDFONTOP: Invalid argument" (if you use lilo this problem does not appear XD)
Trying to Solve :
Code:
sudo su
setconsolefont #Select the Font you want
/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh #This script give you the command for regenerate the initram
#On my case the command was :
Code:
mkinitrd -c -k 5.15.38 -f ext3 -r /dev/sda1 -m jbd2:mbcache:crc32c_intel:crc32c_generic:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz
i restart and the error persist, i start my session normally and open a terminal, for check the initram image.

Code:
mkdir "$HOME/initramfs" ; cd "$HOME/initramfs"
sudo su
cat /boot/initrd.gz | gunzip -c | cpio -i --no-absolute-filenames
cd bin
ls -l setfont
cd ../sbin

# well. (This option allows users to use the allow_other option.) You need
# allow_other if you want users other than the owner to access a mounted fuse.
# This option must appear on a line by itself. There is no value, just the
# presence of the option.

user_allow_other

#PDF Viewer :
Code:

pip3 install urllib3
slpkg update
slpkg -s sbo install python3-pythondialog
slpkg repo-enable
#Now choose the repositories you want active, i use : slack, sbo, alien, slonly, multi


Well after i edit and arrange this post, but now i am thinking on the follow:

1 - How i can compile Slackware "Esential & Base System" (The programs just for mount, generated initrd, grub2, lilo,nano / joe,fsck, dhclient, boot partition, and slackpkg, without graphical env,no X / Mir / Wayland / Xfce, just the base)

2 - I think the first point because is just i need to make my own custom iso, instead reinstall all removed package from the iso of xfce live i had downloaded and recompile lost deps.

3 -i want make a customization inside the /boot parttion,like put inside a minial chroot env.

4 - well after i finish with my customizations,i read again how i should use the SlackLive scripts for know how ican put my custom version inside a USB Partition.
