Old Slackware Distro ISO compile


Hello,

I have an old acquired dell inspiron cp with 32 mb RAM and a 3 gig HDD, I was looking for a good linux distro to go with to run with the lackluster hardware. So, I opted for Slackware. However, I want to try an older distro such as 8.1 or 9 to start out with. There arent any torrents that offer the .iso images for the cd install set and I was wondering what folders and files I should compile into an iso file to boot and install properly.

Thanks in advance!
