I know. A note to Alien_Bob about the minimum ISO for '-current' ISO has been sent. The original links are no longer valid. Hopefully I can get the corrected links.

An updated version of the script introduces a new variable. I use it to trim down my DVD ISO to below 2.4 GB again.

Code:

# If you want to exclude more from the DVD ISO than just the ./testing

# directory, you can add the directories to DVD_EXCLUDES.

# The pathnames must be local to the top level and must start with ./

DVD_EXCLUDES="-x ./testing -x ./pasture -x ./source -x ./extra/source"

Thanks Eric, I was using a similar method, in my case made a quick and simple modification to your script.

Code:

  mkisofs -o ${SLACKRELEASE}-install-dvd.iso \\

    -R -J -V "Slackware-${RELEASE} DVD" \\

    -hide-rr-moved -hide-joliet-trans-tbl \\

    -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size ${BOOTLOADSIZE} -boot-info-table \\

    -x ./testing \\

    -x ./source \\

    -x ./${PKGMAIN}/kdei \\

    -sort isolinux/iso.sort \\

    -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \\

    -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \\

    -preparer "Slackware-${RELEASE} build for ${ARCH} by ${BUILDER}" \\

    -publisher "The Slackware Linux Project - http://www.slackware.com/" \\

    -A "Slackware-${RELEASE} DVD - build $DATE" .

Now I will just add those excludes to mirror-slackware-current.conf (Thanks for the idea to exclude ./extra/source, total forgot about that one.)

Code:

# If you want to exclude more from the DVD ISO than just the ./testing

# directory, you can add the directories to DVD_EXCLUDES.

# The pathnames must be local to the top level and must start with ./

DVD_EXCLUDES="-x ./extra/source -x ./source -x ./testing -x ./slackware*/kdei"
