I call the modification of Slackware® made by the
SAM.Zombie library
Zombie–Slackware®, as it is neither dead
(traditional) nor live.
|
| A ZombieDrive uses a minimum of three
partitions: |
|
A Drive partition containing an
rsynced–and–tweaked copy of a reference Slackware
installation. (I call this reference installation a
Basis. I update my
Basis periodically, but do not otherwise use
it—you should do the same with yours.) The
rsyncing and tweaking is done by the SAM.Zombie
library's install script.
You may, optionally, add Alien Bob's LiveSlak
ISO to the root of the Drive partition in
a directory called LiveSlak. A Keep partition containing files needed for
implementing Zombie–Slackware® and providing
persistence. I will provide an example that you may copy or
copy and modify, but you must populate this partition
yourself. You will find this example keep directory in the
SAM.Zombie library.
Or optionally these files can be used to tweak
LiveSlak on–the–fly thus giving
it persistence. (And more! You can even add packages or
customize the KDE settings. Did you notice what I did
here? The SAM.Zombie's
install command treats either a traditional
Slackware instance or a RAM-resident
LiveSlak instance! I must add, however, that
you may find using Zombie–Slackware®
in this second way to be cumbersome. The truth is that it was
a "proof of principle", a helpful step in the development of
SAM.Zombie. Still, it may serve as a useful
backup system in a pinch.) A Swap partition—just in
case.
