How to make a cd that boots Slackware
install a set of packages. for this example, i'm using the a and n sets (all packages from each)
mkdir ~/livecdroot mount /mnt/cdrom installpkg -root ~/livecdroot /mnt/cdrom/slackware/(a|n)/*.tgz
now download the kernel from the linux-live site (listed below)
installpkg -root ~/livecdroot /tmp/linux-2.6.21.5-i486-1.tgz
Using the linux-live tools, build the compressed livecd filesystems
make sure to configure the .config file properly
./build
Once that is done, it will tell you where to generate the iso from
