Eto sadarjanieto mu:



To make a bootable Slackware install CD, get into the top level Slackware

directory (The one with ChangeLog.txt in it) and issue a command like this

to build the ISO image in /tmp:



mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware.iso -R -J -V "Slackware Install" -x ./bootdisks -x ./extra -x ./slackware/gnome -x ./pasture -x ./rootdisks -x ./source -x ./zipslack -hide-rr-moved -v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 32 -boot-info-table -sort isolinux/iso.sort -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/isolinux.boot -A "Slackware Install CD" .



Then use 'cdrecord' to burn it. (See 'man cdrecord')



Notice that to fit the install image on one CD, you must exclude GNOME:



-x ./slackware/gnome

or exclude KDE:



-x ./slackware/kde -x ./slackware/kdei

or, leave them both off:



-x ./slackware/gnome -x ./slackware/kde -x ./slackware/kdei

or, leave off the KDEI series (KDE translations):



-x ./slackware/kdei

You decide. :-)



----

notes:

The isolinux/isolinux.boot file will be created on the CD; it's not

supposed to be in the source tree. I mention this only because so many

people reported the "missing" isolinux/isolinux.boot file as a bug.



I don't know how to create a bootable Slackware ISO on operating systems

other than Linux, but it should be easy to burn the Linux-created ISO with

most CD burning software on any operating system.



UPDATE: I've now been informed that there's a Windows version of mkisofs

available from ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha if you want

to try to make the ISO image under Windows. I haven't tried this.
