Is there an easy way to do a fresh install of slackware current? I've
not found any info on this with Google. Obviously I can install 11.0 and
then upgrade all the packages but my experience with Mandriva suggests
that fresh installs are preferable. Also some packages - notably tcpip -
have been split up. I presume a simple upgrade wouldn't deal with this.

I have tried installpkg -root /mnt/new *.tgz from a slackware 11.0
install on another partition, but I can't boot into the resulting system.

There are no isos, nor any boot/root disks in the slackware-current
tree. The obvious things that I am considering:

(1) Should the above technique work? If so I'll troubleshoot the
installation.

(2) Would 11.0 boot/root disks allow me to install from a
slackware-current tree on a hard disk partition or over NFS?

(3) Is there a script (or a howto) for making a slackware install CD
from the slackware-current tree?

Thanks,
