Making a DVD Install ISO...
 

Hi, atm im downloading the directory "slackware-current" from one of the FTP's advertised @ www.slackware.org and I was wondering if it would be possible to burn it to dvd and make it bootable....has anyone accomplished this?

Thnx :)

Search is your friend. This was asked two days ago. See here.

Here is the script I use:

# Script to make your very own Current ISOs

# Date Started - 09-05-2003
#
# First CD contains a bootable installation, kernels, boot disks,
# root disks and Slackware (minus KDE).
#
# Second CD contains all of KDE and leftovers, but not including source.
# That would mean *another* disc just for sources.
#
# Changelog:
# 03-22-2004: Added an exception for Gnome on the first disc. Current is just too
# big ;) The 2nd ISO has Gnome and KDE.
