I am helping out a friend in the US who has drifted of to sleep (understandably) I have downloaded from him a slackware directory structure from a cd and after some fixes we wish to make it into a bootable CD iso.

SO far I can do everything except figure out how to make the cd bootable.

Can anyone point me to a guide (that makes sense) on using mkisofs or can I use a better tool such as k3b in some way I am missing.

Everything we need from slackware should be there (isolinux and such) but I cannot figure out what is missing to make the iso boot.

I even tried under windows, but that was worse as the boot images tried to load a floppy.

Any help appreciated, as this is something I have never done before ( and now I know why)

is there a simple guide to making a bootable slackware install cd ?
