slackware location?

[Ralph W. Reid]

Sorry for the delayed reply--this week is trying to drive me crazy.

Anyway, I looked at the directories there, and I do not think the
rsync command I gave will get the ISO's--it looks like they are in a
different directory (slackware-10.2.iso, or something similar).  The
ISO disk images should be complete (bootable and all), but I have
always used either installs from subdirectories on other partitions,
or booted on a floppy and installed everything from a factory CDROM
set.  Maybe someone else here can shed some light on burning the ISO
images onto CD's and booting up with them.  I know that when
installing from the factory CD's, if the wrong CD is put in, I get
prompted to put the correct one in.

HTH (a little anyway), and have a _great_ day.
