What's the story about Slack 11?

[Paul King]

Hello, all

Looks like I found some clues. From the README file in the /isolinux subdir of 
the DVD, I likely need to issue an extra command to make it bootable:

mkisofs -o /tmp/slackware-dvd.iso \
  -R -J -A "Slackware Install" \
  -hide-rr-moved \
  -v -d -N \
  -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 32 -boot-info-table \
  -sort isolinux/iso.sort \
  -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
  -c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
  -V "SlackDVD" .

Leave it to Slackware to add that extra wrinkle :-)
