You would make a bootable CD like this if your doing it on a
linux system. Then burn the ISO to disk with cdrecord.

This would build an ISO without any k, x, GNOME, or KDE so it
will fit on a CD-RW disc.
If you want to add X to it then remove the line
(-x ./slackware/x \ )
from the script. You can't fit KDE on the same CD so don't even
try.

cd /path/to/slackware-10.0

mkisofs -o ../slackware-10.0-iso/slackware-10.0-NO_X.iso \
-R -J -V "Slackware Install" \
-x ./extra \
-x ./slackware/e \
-x ./slackware/gnome \
-x ./slackware/kde \
-x ./slackware/kdei \
-x ./slackware/x \
-x ./slackware/xap \
-x ./pasture \
-x ./patches \
-x ./source \
-x ./testing \
-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" .
