you can download the whole tree and make your own images and discs... look for the readme in the isolinux subdirectory.. it shouldn't be too hard to modify the procedure to make a dvd

Thanks,
I am downloading the DVD image now, though it is rather slow(400kilobytes/s). Thanks for the link! Mucho appreciated!!!!
I hope I like this distribution. (Formerly Redhat,Mandrake, currently SuSe, soon to be slackware
)

Cool, thanks a lot for that
It seems the DVD only contains discs 1 and 2.
3 and 4 are both source it seems anyway.

I think it contains the entire Slackware/current:
Code:

Those 4 (d1-d4) CD isos add up to 2730899456 and the DVD is 3249033216.
And these are the directories of the DVD

So it looks as if it has the same as the CDs, or maybe more.
I couldn't say for sure, as I only burned the first 2 CDs.
The bigger question I have is whether or not these DVD files are
from the last Slackware/current before Pat released Slack-10.1,
or is there some difference. I haven't checked...
