  1. I started out to install Slackware on a flash drive. It was fairly easy to step
  2. through the menus to install it.
  3. Two issue came up.
  4. 1. The partition was not showing up after the init sequence.
  5. 2. /sbin/init was not mounting.
  6. Solution.
  7. 1. Add -w 10 in the initrd string to add a 10 sec. wait time before booting the init
  8. 2. Add 'usb-storage' after the -m for Modules
  9. mkinitrd -w 10 -c -u -k $(uname -r) -f ext4 -r "UUID=875b0f2d-ab71-4d5e-873b-788e4efabc84"
  10. -m usb-storage:xhci-pci:ehci-pci:xhci-hcd:uhci-hcd:hid:hid_generic:hid-logitech:hid-logitech-dj:
  11. hid-logitech-hidpp:hid-lenovo:hid-microsoft:ehci-hcd -o /boot/initrd.gz
  12. Minor issue:
  13. Get wicd connection manager to start without logging in.
  14. 1. vim /etc/initd./start-wicd.sh
  15. #!/bin/bash
  16. /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd
  17. 2. sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/start-wicd.sh /etc/rc.d/
