1 # Slackware-tagfiles Project
5 The jump-tags folder contains tag files specifically for creating a "jump" VM.
6 This VM is intended to be a versatile, multi-purpose image that can serve as a
7 "Swiss army knife" for various tasks. The tag files in this directory specify
8 the packages and configurations needed to build this specialized VM.
10 To use the jump-tags during installation, point to the jump-tags directory

16 I use AlienBOB's script to mirror the Slackware tree for building the ISO.
19 wget http://www.slackware.com/~alien/tools/mirror-slackware-current.sh -O /usr/local/bin
20 chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mirror-slackware-current.sh
23 Run the script with the following parameters to download the Slackware tree:
26 RELEASE="current" SLACKROOTDIR="/opt/slackware64" ISO="NONE" sudo ./mirror-slackware-current.sh -f
29 Copy the files from the repository:
32 sudo mkdir /opt/slackware64/slackware64-current/custom-tagfiles
34 sudo cp -a * /opt/slackware64/slackware64-current/custom-tagfiles
37 Now, generate the new ISO image:
40 RELEASE="current" SLACKROOTDIR="/opt/slackware64" ISOONLY="yes" mirror-slackware-current.sh
43 During Slackware installation, just press "enter" in installation screen name "PACKAGE SERIES SELECTION".

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

52 choose "tagpath" as your install method and enter
53 the path to your custom tagfiles, which in this case is:
56 /var/log/mount/custom-tagfiles
