[SOLVED] slackware 14.2 install cd contents

dogpatch · 03-23-2021, 11:00 AM

where can i find 14.2 install contents for the 6 installation CDs? Have a very slow connection and limited download capacity. Have already downloaded isos for disks 1,2,3. Wondering whether i need anything on disks 4, 5 or 6. I remember seeing this information somewhere, but can't find it now.

there are *.txt files in the same directory as the isos that list the contents of the same isos

Wouldn't downloading the "original" cd-sets give you a h-u-g-e update to go through?

If you download latest updated source, checkout slackware64-14.2/isolinux/README.TXT with instructions for creating cds...

DVDs and writers are quite cheap, so why bother with cds anymore?

Thank you. That's where i must have seen the disk contents, but had forgotten.

@ Jan K: Am not updating. Do not have dvd.

Didn't notice there was a Slackware Installation sub-forum, to which i ought to have posted this. In that sub-forum, this thread somewhat addresses my question as well.
