The only little problem I encountered was the fact the machine was not accessible through PXE. So, I’ve had to hack the Slackware default installer in order to start automatically the SSH daemon.

To do that, I’ve put my script in a custom ramdisk archive I’ve then appended to the “initrd” one in isolinux.cfg. This way allows to not really hack the initrd, so it can be easily reproduced from install to install.

Sadly, the Slackware installer does not look for potential custom init scripts, so the only room to put it is in /etc/profile.d, which implies to make it unexecutable after its first execution (otherwise “. /etc/profile” break the SSH session). It would be cool to have a proper room to do that (rc.local or rc.custom, created according to the will of the user)
