why don't you find another source of slackware-current cds? obviously the
person who made those isos didn't bother to check the size.

It's mostly not a problem for the CD recorder (unless your appliances are
a lot older than what you were sold them for), though ...
It is true that finding some recordable CD of 730 740 750 and even 800
may involve some harsh commitment to live forces.
Like meeting some people in places where people go and meet people to
sell and or buy stuff.
I'm not aware of what kind of device make this in your specific area,
but in some retarded places I know, around my homeabouts, like France,
Norway, England, Spain, Italy, even Vatican, we call them stores,
sometimes hyperstores or megastores.

PS: it may involve some cash in the process ;-)

I have the May 2, 2005, these are the May 16, 2005 from the
ftp.mirrors.ca.uk/sites/ftp.slackware.com/current.iso

I have the former on CD anyway but was going to look at the new ones,
because the changelog says it has the Linux 2.6.11 and 2.4.30 in it.
Plus many new additional features and updates.

If I had a DVD recorder I would download the DVD one, and not bother
with the CD one

I have an LG 8120B CD CDR CDRW drive and has the 2.0 ROM Firmware
updates. So it's actually pretty up to date.

the point was to find another source, as the person maintaining that one
obviously did not check the sizes.

just in case if you didn't know, -current isos are NEVER official. they're
made by random people. patrick never puts out isos of -current. you're
pretty much taking a gamble with those.

hell, i even make -current isos available, ones that i don't test myself in
any shape or form:

ftp://inferno.bioinformatics.vt.edu/...re-current-iso

they have kde/xap on the second cd. they 'may' work for you, or may not.

Hmm well if ever I became a Programer, and did that, be sure I would
find time to test it out. I would not even take the time to just
arbitrarily let something out, knowing it could mangle a system.

the May 2, 2005 ones I have are what I had to use to make a E-Machine
Laptop work right. The Official 10.1 Feb release just would not even set
the Sound and Modem apart. Intel Chipset too. The May 2, 2005 one made
sure they had different IRQ and Hex Addresses, and even was able to make
the SMC Wireless NIC work without a problem, just adding a good DHCP
Host for the IP to be fetched from.

Downloaded and will burn to CD later, I have this one working pretty
good, so I don't think I want ot go and ruin it now. maybe if something
happens to this one I will.
