Instructions for making a current ISO?

I have revived My Daughters Laptop with SLackware 12.2.
So Now her EEE PC 901 is avalable to test Something besides the stock Xandros after 9 months of use she is ready for a full power OS and the stock OS is acting Strange. She is getting ready to go back to Collage.

What I need is an ISO of Slackware Current.
Can someone help me with info or a link to some info how to do this?

Thanks!

I'll let someone else explain how to make one, but if you just want to download one you can do that here. ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.slack...e-current-iso/

Or you could do it this way:

1) Make a local mirror of the -current tree. For instance:
rsync -avz --del rsync://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/slackware/slackware-current /local/directory
2) Make an ISO image of it and burn it to a DVD -- I suppose you have a DVD writer:

Code:

cd /local/directory/slackware-current

mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware-dvd.iso -R -J -A "Slackware Install" \

  -hide-rr-moved -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \

  -boot-info-table -sort isolinux/iso.sort -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \

  -c isolinux/isolinux.boot -V "SlackDVD" .

cd /tmp

growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=slackware-dvd.iso

More information in the slackware-current/isolinux/README.TXT from which I borrowed above commands.

AlienBob hosts a script which will mirror the current tree and when finished creates a CD set / DVD. You can find it here. It has loads of useful options and is worth looking at.
