Actually, I din't move my 9.1, I did a fresh install of it on another
partition and copied over /home/* and /etc/*, and it seems to be working.
(and I'm still using the old lilo on the MBR.)

So, I've got a whole fresh partition, and I downloaded all of 10.0
except gnome.

I don't know how to make a bootable CD with Linux yet, so I thought
I'd use bootdisk/install.1/install.2. dd if=bare.i of=/dev/fd0
makes a bootable boot disk, but then I get errors on install.1,
first written with dd, which according to the README is wrong, then
with cat, as it says in the readme. I might or might not look at
that.

What I've done is boot off the 9.1 CD, and am running setup; I
told it to use for source /dev/hdb11/Slack-10.0, and it seems to be
doing OK so far.

And I think I'm not even going to touch lilo - it's in the mbr,
so when I tell it the /dev/hdb1 partition, it _should_ simply
boot what's there, right? (which in this case I'm expecting
to be 10.0).

Guess I'll make a boot floppy first. :-)

Cheers!

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" .

Nope, you'll need to reinstall and re-run lilo (or just let the installer do
it for you.)

Thanks! I've saved it for future reference. :-)
