The script expects to be run -as the root user. It also expects specific modifications to blacklist, -mkinitrd.conf, efi.conf & lilo.conf. - -The script maintains multiple kernels and manages EFI & LILO setups (not -GRUB yet). The default boot kernel is changed to the most recent kernel. -In the unlikely event the most recent kernel is not functioning properly -the system can be rebooted with the previous kernel. - -The script has a config file /etc/slackpkg/autoslackpkg.conf that sets -default variables. These variables can be changed based on unique system -requirements. - -The script requires options and arguments. To see usage help -run (autoslackpkg) without options or arguments. Usage help also is -displayed if there is a script option or argument error. - -When run with the -h option and a valid argument (autoslackpkg -h -overview | blacklist | elilo | lilo | mkinitrd) the script provides -help. - -When run with the -m option and a valid argument (autoslackpkg -m dialog -| batch) the script runs in either dialog mode or batch mode. Dialog -mode is a hands-on, interactive mode. Batch mode runs without user -input. - -When run with the -s option (autoslackpkg -s update | install-new | -upgrade-all | clean-system | install-kernel | remove-kernel | -new-config) the script only runs a specific section of the overall -script. - -The script runs in 2 Phases. If not installing a new kernel then -autoslackpkg runs both Phase 1 & Phase 2 in succession. If a new kernel -is installed then only Phase 1 is run & reboot is required. After -reboot, rerun autoslackpkg then Phase 1 is skipped & only Phase 2 is -run. - -Phase 1 includes: - - 1) slackpkg update - 2) slackpkg install-new - 3) slackpkg upgrade-all (see blacklist help) - 4) new kernel download & installation (see blacklist help) - 5) mkinitrd for new kernel (see mkitrd help) - 6) EFI system new kernel management (see elilo help) - 7) LILO system new kernel management (see lilo help) - -Phase 2 includes: - - 1) slackpkg clean-system - 2) EFI system old kernel management (see elilo help) - 3) LILO system old kernel management (see lilo help) - 4) run updatedb - 5) slackpkg new-config - 6) find /etc *.new & *.orig |
