        7. (a) copy the entire slackware directory, i.e.,   
               rsync -av --delete \   
                rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/slackware/slackware64-current/ \   
                slackware64-mylocalcopy/   
           (b) use  usb-and-pxe-installers/usbimg2disk.sh  to create   
               a bootable install stick   
      
   For what purpose(s) are you taking a "survey"?
