HOW TO MAKE A BOOTABLE SLACKWARE DVD ISO IMAGE
|
|
|
|
To make a bootable Slackware install DVD, get into the top level Slackware
|
|
directory (The one with ChangeLog.txt in it) and issue a command like this
|
|
to build the ISO image in /tmp:
|
|
|
|
xorriso -as mkisofs \
|
|
-iso-level 3 \
|
|
-full-iso9660-filenames \
|
|
-R -J -A "Slackware Install" \
|
|
-hide-rr-moved \
|
|
-v -d -N \
|
|
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-catalog isolinux/boot.cat \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
|
|
-isohybrid-mbr /usr/share/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-alt-boot \
|
|
-e isolinux/efiboot.img \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat \
|
|
-m 'source' \
|
|
-volid "SlackDVD" \
|
|
-output /tmp/slackware-dvd.iso \
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
On my system, here's the command I'd use to burn the resulting DVD ISO:
|
|
|
|
growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=slackware-dvd.iso
|
|
|
|
If your burner is not /dev/sr0, replace the device with the one your
|
|
system uses.
|
|
|
|
I find discs burned at 2x are more reliable than ones burned at higher
|
|
speeds, but you may see completely different results depending on media
|
|
and burner type. The -dvd-compat option is also used so that a complete
|
|
lead-out is written to the media for maximum compatibility.
|
|
|
|
To write the ISO image to a USB stick use a command such as this (replace
|
|
/dev/sdX with the device name for your USB stick):
|
|
|
|
dd if=/tmp/slackware-dvd.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
|
|
|
|
Or, you can burn directly from the Slackware tree to a DVD(-/+)R(W):
|
|
|
|
xorriso -as mkisofs \
|
|
-iso-level 3 \
|
|
-full-iso9660-filenames \
|
|
-R -J -A "Slackware Install" \
|
|
-hide-rr-moved \
|
|
-v -d -N \
|
|
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-catalog isolinux/boot.cat \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
|
|
-isohybrid-mbr /usr/share/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-alt-boot \
|
|
-e isolinux/efiboot.img \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat \
|
|
-m 'source' \
|
|
-volid "SlackDVD" \
|
|
-output - \
|
|
. \
|
|
| xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=2 fs=8m blank=as_needed -
|
|
|
|
Note that the source code directory will not be included on these DVD
|
|
images in order to keep them under the limit for a single-layer disc.
|
|
If you are using double layer DVD media and want to burn the complete
|
|
tree to your disc, remove the -m option line from the command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TO MAKE A SET OF BOOTABLE / INSTALLABLE CDROMS
|
|
|
|
This is a little bit more tricky. Step one will be to split the tree into
|
|
portions that will fit on the media that you plan to burn to. The first
|
|
disc must contain these directories:
|
|
|
|
/isolinux/
|
|
/kernels/
|
|
/slackware/
|
|
|
|
You'll need to make other /slackware/ directories on discs 2, 3, and maybe
|
|
more, moving some of the disc series from disc 1 to other discs to make
|
|
things fit. It is also possible to split a series to make more efficient
|
|
use of the CD media. See the README_SPLIT.TXT example and instructional
|
|
file in this directory for details about how to set that up.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the splitting up of discs is left as an exercise for the reader.
|
|
|
|
To make the first (bootable) ISO, a command like this is used within the
|
|
directory where the disc tree is. Let's say the directory is 'd1' and you
|
|
wish to output the ISO image in /tmp:
|
|
|
|
cd d1
|
|
xorriso -as mkisofs \
|
|
-iso-level 3 \
|
|
-full-iso9660-filenames \
|
|
-R -J -A "Slackware Install 1" \
|
|
-hide-rr-moved \
|
|
-v -d -N \
|
|
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-catalog isolinux/boot.cat \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
|
|
-isohybrid-mbr /usr/share/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-alt-boot \
|
|
-e isolinux/efiboot.img \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat \
|
|
-volid "SlackCD1" \
|
|
-output /tmp/slackware-install-1.iso \
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
Making a non-bootable disc is similar. Just omit a few options:
|
|
|
|
cd d2
|
|
xorriso -as mkisofs \
|
|
-iso-level 3 \
|
|
-full-iso9660-filenames \
|
|
-R -J -A "Slackware Install 2" \
|
|
-hide-rr-moved \
|
|
-v -d -N \
|
|
-volid "SlackCD2" \
|
|
-output /tmp/slackware-install-2.iso \
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
To burn an ISO image to CD-R(W), the cdrecord command is used. For complete
|
|
instructions, see the man page ('man cdrecord'). On my own machine where
|
|
the burner is /dev/cdrw, disc one would be burned with the following command:
|
|
|
|
cat /tmp/slackware-install-1.iso | cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrw speed=10 fs=8m -tao -eject -data -
|
|
|
|
As before, it's possible to burn from the disc trees without the intermediate
|
|
step of creating iso images by piping the output directly to cdrecord:
|
|
|
|
cd d1
|
|
xorriso -as mkisofs \
|
|
-iso-level 3 \
|
|
-full-iso9660-filenames \
|
|
-R -J -A "Slackware Install 1" \
|
|
-hide-rr-moved \
|
|
-v -d -N \
|
|
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-catalog isolinux/boot.cat \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
|
|
-isohybrid-mbr /usr/share/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \
|
|
-eltorito-alt-boot \
|
|
-e isolinux/efiboot.img \
|
|
-no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat \
|
|
-volid "SlackCD1" \
|
|
-output - \
|
|
. | cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrw speed=10 fs=8m -tao -eject -data -
|
|

|
NOTES:
|
|
The isolinux/isolinux.boot file will be created on the disc; it's not
|
|
supposed to be in the source tree. I mention this only because so many
|
|
people report the "missing" isolinux/isolinux.boot file as a bug.
|
|
|
|
The "-boot-load-size 4" is actually not large enough to hold the isolinux
|
|
boot loader, but many BIOS implementations are broken and will *only*
|
|
accept "4". Evidently many newer, more correct BIOS implementations
|
|
expect this and will continue to load the boot loader file until the
|
|
EOF is reached. Anyway, previous uses of larger values were correct, but
|
|
led to the Slackware ISO not booting on some machines which contained
|
|
broken BIOS implementations. It is my hope that by using the incorrect
|
|
value of 4 sectors that the ISO will boot on most (if not all) machines
|
|
that are supposed to be able to boot from an ISO image.
|
|
|
|
I don't know how to create a bootable Slackware ISO on operating systems
|
|
other than Linux, but it should be easy to burn the Linux-created ISO with
|
|
most CD burning software on any operating system.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
|

-P.
