A question about liveslak
by FlinchX from LinuxQuestions.org on (#516ZN)
Since I am scared by both overlayfs and VirtualBox snapshots, I've decided to try getting a Slackware64-14.2 livecd image which I could boot and use as sandbox for testing things, to avoid ruining my main system.
I remember liveslak being mentioned earlier in this forum, so I went to read https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:liveslak
I went through the links in the "Downloading ISO images" section (the https://seattleslack.ryanpcmcquen.or...lackware-live/ one is broken btw) and I've noticed there's only images for -current in all those locations, while the wiki claims that 14.2 is supported as well.
Does this mean that if I want a 14.2 livecd image, I'd have to build it myself?
If so, my other question is about the make_slackware_live.sh script. As I understand, I'd need a local mirror of a Slackware repo, which I would pass to the script via -s argument. I can do this part by rsyncing the Slackware64-14.2 directory from any mirror (I suppose I can exclude the sources?). What I did not understand by skimming through developer documentation is what livecd iso image will the script produce: will it be the Slackware64-14.2 at the moment of its release (years ago) or will it have all updates since then from patches/packages applied (what I'm aiming for)?
