To make a bootable Slackware 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 -d -D -N -R -v \ -A "Slackware Linux" \ -b .eltorito/eltorito.img \ -c .eltorito/eltorito.boot \ -o /tmp/slack.iso \ -V "Slackware Install" . (this command will create the '.eltorito/eltorito.boot' boot record) The use 'cdrecord' to burn it. (See 'man cdrecord') ---- notes: The CD must contain at least the .eltorito and slakware directories. If you want to master/burn the ISO image under Windows, you're on your own.
