oh and just like any liveslak I throw online, use Alien's "iso2usb" script if you want persistence (or else it's not really all that cool without it). and the slackpkg blacklist file is hella fucked up, this is literally what I build for myself, mess and all. 😂

The main idea here is a slack-based system (which in theory is slimmed down more than it is now) that you can still fuck up as you see fit but removing the requirement that you have to build everything you add to it (within reason). It has the same quirks as slack cuz it is slack, but slack for Pinks. Maybe it should be called Pinkware. 😜

@jloc0@mastodon.sdf.org I think about doing better blacklist management tools, bit I haven't done it. Blacklist management should go hand in hand with tagfiles. Frankly, going beyond that, I really like automatic dependency handling. I assume Slackware avoids them out of sheer cussedness at this point. Being able to start with a minbase debootstrap in Debian is just nice. But I have no horse in that fight.
