To make a bootable Splack SPARC CD, get into the top level Splack directory ((The one with ChangeLog.txt in it) and issue a command like this to build the ISO image in /tmp: mkisofs-silo -d -D -N -R -v \ -A "Slackware Linux" \ -S .boot/cd.b \ -B .boot/second.b \ -s /.boot/silo.conf \ -o /tmp/splack.iso \ -V "Splack Install" . (this command will create the proper SILO bootblocks on the image) The use 'cdrecord' to burn it. (See 'man cdrecord') ---- notes: The CD must contain at least the .boot and splack directories. If you want to master/burn the ISO image under Windows, you're on your own. The "mkisofs-silo" command is only available on the SPARC port. If you want to master a SPARC CD on another Linux machine, you can get the source for that version of mkisofs from /source/ap/mkisofs in the SPARC source tree.
