README: put some more emphasis in the ISO developer section.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Specifically, stress the fact that generating an ISO requires that you
create a local Slackware mirror prior to running 'make_slackware_live.sh',
since the script will not download official Slackware packages,
only 3rd party packages.

The script uses package repositories to create a Live ISO. The packages will be installed into a temporary directory.

In order to create a Live ISO for any of these variants, the package repositories that are required must be available as a local directory (this can be a network-mounted directory). A local mirror of the Slackware repository is mandatory. Any packages that are used from a 3rd party repository will be downloaded from a remote server as long as a rsync URL for the repository is configured in ./pkglists/*.conf.
In order to create a Live ISO for any of these variants, the package repositories that are required must be available as a local directory (this can be a network-mounted directory). A local mirror of the Slackware repository is mandatory - you have to download these yourself.. Any other packages, i.e. those that are used from a 3rd party repository will be downloaded from a remote server as long as a rsync URL for the repository is configured in ./pkglists/*.conf.

When all pre-reqs are met, you issue a single command to generate the ISO. The following example will create a pure Slackware Live Edition:
# ./make_slackware_live.sh
