Hey Charles!

 CB> if i remember right it's not a bootable cdrom (but i could be wrong),

  $ file -b /mnt/archives/slackware/slackware64-15.0-install-dvd.iso 
  ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data (DOS/MBR boot sector) 'SlackDVD' (bootable)

As expected the slackware64-current-install-dvd.iso is bootable whereas;

  $ file -b /mnt/archives/slackware/Slackware2.3.iso
  ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'SLACK_0695_1'

No love there.  :-/

Not exactly expected it to be bootable considering the very first bootable
cdrom I ever had was on a p1 laptop which was later than slackware-2.3.  I won
it in a bet that I could get power management working and stable on it.

 CB> but it does have all 15 installation disks there off hand

I loop mounted it and it looks like it is all there.  Thank you again.

Life is good,
Maurice
