To make a bootable Slackware CD, get into the top level Slackware directory (The one with ChangeLog.txt in it) and issue a command like this to build the ISO image in /tmp: mkisofs -o /tmp/slakware.iso -R -V "Slackware Install" \ -v -d -D -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \ -A "Slackware 8.0 Install CD" . ^^^ (this command will create the 'isolinux/isolinux.boot' boot record) Then use 'cdrecord' to burn it. (See 'man cdrecord') ---- notes: If you want to master/burn the ISO image under Windows, you're on your own. IF YOU INSTALL WITH A 2.4.5 KERNEL, USE "MENU" OR "EXPERT" MODE AND BE SURE TO INSTALL A 2.4.5 KERNEL ON YOUR SYSTEM, OR IT MIGHT NOT BOOT! You can also install with "full" mode if you've got an appropriate floppy image to install the kernel from.
