I wish slackware 10 had a dvd iso. I'll have to make it myself I guess. For
slackware 9.1 I copied pretty much all of the content from the 4 discs
(minus a few things, I can't remember what now) and used this to build the
iso:

cd ~/slackware_cd
rm -f ~/slackware_cd.iso
mkisofs -o ~/slackware_cd.iso \
-R -J -V "Slackware Install" \
-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" .

Does anybody know how I can make it so I can also boot to the rescure disc
as well? I haven't really used the rescure disc from 9.1 but I was planning
on sharing this iso with other people who might want it.

Hopefully it'll finish the bit torrent download by this weekend so I can
work on the dvd.

You should probably start by editing isolinux/isolinux.cfg. Then you
should edit the displayed message text also to give the user a
presentation of possible boot choices.

Here's the script I use to build a bootable dvd. I call it "dvd.build", make
sure its executable, and put it in the slackware-current (or 10 ;-) directory
(where the changelog.txt file sits). Then simply run it. It will build an iso
image in the path dictated by the second line, and exclude itself from the
finished dvd with line 4.

This was modified from the script used to build cds that was suggested in the
original slack documentation, so I can't claim any great credit for it :-)

The complete image is getting on for 3 GB, so make sure you have plenty of disk
space!

#! /bin/bash
/usr/bin/mkisofs -udf -o /path/to/slackware-10.0_DVD.iso \
-R -J -V "Slackware-10.0" \
-x ./dvd.build \
-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-10.0 DVD" .

Just used your script. Thanks for posting. Worked a treat.
