Frugall installation of Live Slackware Edition - help needed
by igadoter from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5R2DW)
I hesitate how to boot Liveslak provided by AlienBob but not from pendrive but from hard drive. I imagine this as put all squashfs files on hardive and boot all live system with help of boot loader.
So at the end I would have just common Slackware distribution and live Slackware frugall installation existed all together.
Idea is to keep frugall installation of -current. While stable would be default. This way I don't have to waste additional partition. Of course one can run -current in VM - but then you know nothing about hardware issues. So it is important to run -current on bare metal.
In practice I suppose one need -current in VM just to create squashes - after -current update. I mean one updates -current in VM and using AlienBob scripts creates all these squashes and put them on hard drive. Rerun boot loader, and you done. Now you can boot in -current. If it breaks just reboot into stable.
I suppose it is about to create proper entry in bootloader configuration. Probably lilo won't do. I just need some hint where to begin with.
I just gave here advice to run -current all time - usually it costs additional partition. So.
All this of course for having fun. We are neither professionals nor hobbyists. But people who want to have fun using computer.
