I would Like to compile this and turn it to a bootable disc :

Please help!!
I don't know how I will make this archive into a bootable disc, and worse, how I would install SlackWare on My Rig, I want it to be as smooth as possible. I hope my venture to the next Level Linux would be fun like I had with my late N900.
Thanks and I would greatly appreciate all the support and help I could get. ( I was a bit afraid of the Floppy Disks and the partitionings, I hope I really don't need to do this, but if I have to, then I would have to find a way to make the Floppies...)
