It's not EFI-bootable due to the extra size penalty
with current build/boot technology, but it's also
not ISO-hybrid as most images are made hybrid by
making them EFI-capable as well since the processes
are related.
Thanks dango at the forum for asking:

The bare intermediate target did use/stage2/net-eth but it
was found out by sem@ that an installed server would lack
udev-rule-generator-net package so its ethernet interface
naming would be inherited from install2 stage only; fix it
by adding use/net-eth and reduce the churn with +net-eth.
Thanks mithraen@ for creating a universal frontend script
for udisksctl/pmount/hmount user mount tools; let's try it
within the minimalistic GUI image for the starters.
systemd-214 has major problems with starting these services,
and KDC should definitely not even try to start up before
setup (which is not feasible given that these are LiveCDs).
domain-client pkglist inhabitants and net-usershares feature
are nasty enough to bring a lot of extra garbage in unfortunately
(alterator-auth, alterator-kdc, alterator-net-shares involved).
Commit 78f2158 left those images which required NM but not
its applet explicitly broken (as in "no applet at all");
this should probably be redone alike to browser feature
but let's provide a 20140612 band-aid at least.
I thought about this again and came to conclusion that bringing
alteratord and ahttpd up or down should rather be done at the same
time as backends and frontend are useless without each other
(at least for your average sysadmin).
Matt Lewandowsky suggested that alteratord be enabled
but ahttpd be disabled so as to avoid extra port being
listened to out-of-box but to be able to turn web GUI on
when needed.
Suggested by frbrgeorge@ and sounds quite reasonable
given that live-rescue.iso is very immature yet and
there are only a few -- but compelling -- reasons
to provide a graphical rescue image, gparted being
one of them for sure.
The logic is pretty much the same as with live.mk,
even somewhat extended as this has actually been
the driver of this change: some images like icewm
or lxqt-based ones might show off other browsers
explicitly (in addition to zerg@'s request).
This should better lurk here unless someone (including myself)
either forgets or doesn't realize the inobvious chain of the
assumptions made for the read-only warranty to actually work.
This is actually downplaying: the net effect is that
a few images continue to carry krb5-ticket-watcher
and have avahi service enabled by default while most
of the images have one "weird" item less on their menus
and a few hundred kilobytes less in total RSS.
These are not really needed by default in lightweight
distros sporting reduced application and services set,
and the heavier ones will take relatively less hit
by default while being more ready as ALT Domain clients
(which was the whole motivation behind adding the feature
and the corresponding pkglist).
A virtual machine lacking DHCP client seems much less useful,
and being able to shut one down via emulated ACPI button press
seems like no luxury either.
led-ws kernel flavour has gained kernel-modules-vmware
recently, let's add this to the appropriate targets.
It's used in regular-jeos already but THE_ part was missing.
This should provide the fix for #30024 (thanks ildar@):
vmware relies on mptspi.ko by default and that's been
split out into scsi and not guest subpackage for led-ws.
BTW use/install2/vmguest instead of a bunch.
plasma-applet-networkmanager has been superseded by a bunch
of kde4-plasma-nm* packages; only the main one has been included
in regular-kde4 flavour since the switch resulting in the lack of
VPN/mobile connectivity options.
My opinion still is that plasma-applet-networkmanager should be
returned as a metapackage for p7/branch timespan so that images
could be built no matter whether it's sisyphus or p7 at hand.
Oh well.
Package has been prepared by shaba@ and sem@,
and it looks like ALT Linux with un-def kernel
is one of the few (or just the one) distribution
running on Hyper-V Gen.2 rather flawlessly
thanks to efforts by boyarsh@ and vitty@.
Just a convenient knob for a few things done previously
to help spare the interesting bits from being overrun.
NB: live_rw isn't added although it might be useful
since that would yield too many boot targets overall;
this is likely to change some day, hopefully when
media type detection/handling is implemented.
Let's bump syslinux timeout to 20 seconds either
so that iKVM users have a chance to select anything
and not just see the default booting after a few
screen area size changes.
This reverts commit fd8f375573.
xdg-su is broken (some would say beyond repair) regarding DE
detection and handling of various GUI helper utilities,
especially in graceful fallback department; only a few images
can get imagewriter until this is fixed, let kde4 be the one.
The whole story with this installer has been due to a query
at #altlinux whether there's a distribution image similar
to altlinux-p7-rescue.iso which appears to be booting under
Hyper-V Gen. 2 without a hitch; changing just the kernel
towards the newer one made the user rather happy since
everything worked out-of-box for him, even unimportant bits.
Of course it's mostly due to boyarsh@'s preceding work :)
NB: there's no use to build i586 version as that hypervisor
lacks CSM (BIOS implementation) and would only boot UEFI
compatible operating systems with pretty strict requirements.
It has dawned on me that gdm2.20 is more widely useful
within sysvinit based builds: lightdm with gtk greeter
would fail to poweroff/reboot while this one would not.
aen@ asked to ship this one as well; no problem given mixins,
still being able to *switch* the init instead of regrafting
would be very beneficial.
NB:
- wdm can't do autologin;
- wdm can poweroff/halt;
- wdm+autologin won't work under systemd (via prefdm.service);
- nodm will work under systemd;
- nodm will ruin consolehelper -> livecd-install by root's PATH;
- gdm2.20 is lightweight, feature complete and sovereign enough.
The reason for an explicit cleanup is that VNC installation support
is now left in by default (see #29901); thus this commit is only
keeping the status quo for this image.
It's still a GUI installer but pretty much barebone one by now...
in particular, it needs no xorg-drv-$hardware being mostly targeted
at VMs and demo appliances where fbdev is rather enough.
Cleanup extra kernel drivers too.
Current Sisyphus' xorg-drv-intel works somewhat better
with recent kernel drivers on my HD4000 GPU, and icewm
is not compositing at all; providing another test/backup
image fitted with newer kernel should do no harm.
This package has been built and recommended by cas@;
it requires Qt5 which hasn't been needed for anything else
included in regular builds so far so let's extend kde4 one
to begin with.
lightdm isn't going to turn off the system properly
with no systemd-logind around ("for no good reason",
that is); good ol' wdm for installed system and the
similarly ol' autologin just work though.
nodm is not gonna cut it since user PATH is weird
within the session breaking livecd-install by putting
/usr/sbin before /usr/bin while it shouldn't be there
in the first place.
As it happens regular-rc testing has shown that cinnamon,
gnome3 and kde4 flavours included NM via their pkglists
and dependencies (which used to result in live feature
enabling NetworkManager service wholesale when found);
now when handling default services has become more strict
it became apparent that these images have got their LiveCD
mode running without network by default (installation does
set that up though).
It looks like an easy way to just stick +nm into .regular-desktop
dependencies but then razorqt, sugar, xmonad would get NM which
is not what they're gonna handle; e17/e18 too.
