Slackware-tagfiles Project

jump-tags

The jump-tags folder contains tag files specifically for creating a "jump" VM. This VM is intended to be a versatile, multi-purpose image that can serve as a "Swiss army knife" for various tasks. The tag files in this directory specify the packages and configurations needed to build this specialized VM.

To use the jump-tags during installation, point to the jump-tags directory

Getting Started

I use AlienBOB's script to mirror the Slackware tree for building the ISO.

wget http://www.slackware.com/~alien/tools/mirror-slackware-current.sh -O /usr/local/bin
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mirror-slackware-current.sh

Run the script with the following parameters to download the Slackware tree:

RELEASE="current" SLACKROOTDIR="/opt/slackware64" ISO="NONE" sudo ./mirror-slackware-current.sh -f

Copy the files from the repository:

sudo mkdir /opt/slackware64/slackware64-current/custom-tagfiles
cd jump
sudo cp -a * /opt/slackware64/slackware64-current/custom-tagfiles

Now, generate the new ISO image:

RELEASE="current" SLACKROOTDIR="/opt/slackware64" ISOONLY="yes" mirror-slackware-current.sh

During Slackware installation, just press "enter" in installation screen name "PACKAGE SERIES SELECTION".

The next screen name "SELECT PROMPTING MODE" choose "tagpath" as your install method and press enter.

choose "tagpath" as your install method and enter the path to your custom tagfiles, which in this case is:

/var/log/mount/custom-tagfiles
