Yes and while there, look at their list of mirror sites and the use of
bit torrent to get the ISO's.

Yes, though I'm not sure how viable an alternative bittorrent would be,
the farther you get from a distro release date.

I have found that the mirror site listed here usually has faster
transfer rates for ftp and other protocols, and they mirror all sorts
of things:

carroll.cac.psu.edu

They also support rsync for many directory (folder) sub-trees.  The
following command from a Linux box will list the public rsync trees:

rsync carroll.cac.psu.edu::

and the rsync command here will get _all_ of the Slackware 10.2 files
(several GB in all--probably more than you will need), and put them
into a /home/slackware-10.2 directory:

rsync -av carroll.cac.psu.edu::slackware/slackware-10.2/ /home/slackware-10.2

HTH and have a _great_ day!

Thanks for the extra info about rsync.  This actually could come in
quite handy when keeping up with slackware-current after 10.2 is stable
on the local box.  I agree that Caroll is a fast site; it always was for
me when using FTP.  

Yes, bit torrent is probably pretty dead now that the release went out
so long ago.  But it is the only way to go at the beginning when most
mirror sites aren't up to date or maxed out.

Hay,
Can someone tell me where slackware is located?
www.google.co.uk/search?q=slackware

Or take a look on www.linuxiso.org.

HTH,

Re: 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.
