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.
