Slack 10.1 install ISO image too big
Hi,
My ISO image is 808Mb and of course it wont fit on a CD. Here are the step I have done so far: 1.- Downloaded the new slackware version 10.1 Wget r ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/ 2.- Check the integrity of the packages Md5sum c CHECKSUMS.md5 3.-Make the ISO image as described in the readme file on isolinux directory: mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware.iso \ -R -J -V "Slackware Install" \ -x ./bootdisks \ -x ./extra \ -x ./slackware/gnome \ -x ./slackware/kde \ -x ./slackware/kdei \ -x ./pasture \ -x ./patches \ -x ./rootdisks \ -x ./source \ -x ./zipslack \ -hide-rr-moved \ -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -sort isolinux/iso.sort \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \ -A "Slackware Install CD" . And the resulting image is 808 Mb, so the question is how can I make an ISO image that fits on a CD? Thanks for any help! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mkisofs 2.0.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Scanning .

Ignore if stupid!
Easiest way would be to download a ready made ISO image. Go here, http://www.slackware.com/getslack/ select a mirror and download the ISO direct. that's what I did. You actually only need install disc1 I found. billy |
Thanks Billy,
Plan B worked just fine. Also I was able to make ISO image that fit on a CD excluding the testing directory: mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware.iso \ -R -J -V "Slackware Install" \ -x ./bootdisks \ -x ./extra \ -x ./slackware/gnome \ -x ./slackware/kde \ -x ./slackware/kdei \ -x ./pasture \ -x ./patches \ -x ./rootdisks \ -x ./source \ -x ./zipslack \ -x ./testing \ -hide-rr-moved \ -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -sort isolinux/iso.sort \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \ -A "Slackware Install CD" . Slackware 10.1 worked just fine on my satas hard drives using sata.i. No problem at all on my dell dimension 8400. Thanks again |
