Unhappy How to make Slackware bootable DVD ?


Hello,
I am downloading 4 CD based ISO's of Slackware 10.2
i want to know if i collect all the files from 4 ISO's
together and burn directly through "Microsoft Windows"
via NERO 6.6 , will it become an bootable typical Slackware DVD or shall i add some txt which contains
bootable DVD parameters and if yes can anybody tell me
what parameters to put to make a bootable Slackware
DVD from 4 CD based ISO's. Currently i have virtual CD
rom, i mount those ISO's on the virtual cd rom and
i can view folders inside. Please help .... I done search over here for the similar topic, but i found no
topic for "DVD" booting thing.

Regard's,

I don't see why you couldn't use Alien Bob's mirror Slackware current script and just change the source to the Slackware 10.2 files instead of the -current. http://www.slackware.com/~alien/tool...are-current.sh

I don't see why it wouldn't work, I want some Slack DVDs myself, I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

work only in Linux. It has a "sh" extension. Any other simple
way which i can perform via Windows XP to make Slackware bootable
DVD?

Can you use the script on your laptop, then network it to the winxp laptop to burn it? Or use the winxp laptop to d/l the first two cd isos & burn them. The first two are all you need to get a system.
Regards,
Bill
