Backpack

This has been mentioned as being in the works for a while. This isn't the official v0.5 release, but is a testing release. It is being made available so that bugs can be fixed, and so that new features and ideas might find their way into the 64- and 32-bit "Beta" (official) releases. Here are the hilights so far:

* Upgraded to Slackware/Slamd64 11.0 as the base operating system
* Upgraded to Gnome 2.18[.2] for the desktop
* Added the ability to change local timezone from live-cd menu
* Switched to AUFS (probably temporary)
* Patched SquashFS to use LZMA encryption (from Thomas M. of slax.org)
* Added debugging hooks in rc.S and rc.M

For the build script output, please take a look at this page.
