DVD ISO Download
 

where can I download the DVD ISO for Slackware current? None of the "official" repositories seem to have it available.

I can see it in the slackware-current-iso directory at ftp.heanet.ie. Haven't checked other sites but I suspect most of them carry it.

I checked all the sites on the Get Slack page and couldn't find it.

Thanks.

HEAnet Ireland is one of those sites listed, and it has the current ISO here:

ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ftp.slackwar...re-current-iso

I checked the USA sites. :)

Just explain us where is Marion III (I hope not near to Tatoine) and we can help you to obtain the ISO(s) ... ;)

Actually that is Marion, Illinois. :)

you cannot find them on the official mirrors because an official slackware-current dvd iso doesn't exists. ;)
alien bob's mirror, linked by Daedra, got the most up-to-date ones. :)

Well, in my opinion, the best method to obtain an current ISO, is AlienBOB's mirror-slackware-current.sh, because the bandwidth used is minimal, only new packages are downloaded and the ISOs are generated locally using a well tested method.

I agree of course ;-)
The ISO images you find in http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sl...e-current-iso/ and http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sl...4-current-iso/ are created using that same script. A cron job starts the script every 4 hours to keep my mirror up to date, and a new DVD ISO is built (excluding all source tarballs to keep the image below 2 GB) whenever an update to the Slackware ChangeLog.txt is detected.

And of course it is more economical on the long run to use that script yourself and populate a local mirror out of which you create the ISO image... if you plan on installing Slackware-current more than once.
