Ive never heard of those tools... Ill have to look. after the first cd didnt
boot on my 2 cd-bootable computers, I did try to make new disks with a new
initrd and boot image... but none booted. I had to download those files
too.(both the /rootdisks and /bootdisks were not on cds!)... they were not on
the images/iso That I got (MRO made me uhh... 3 copies I think, hand
delivering a tested-good CD!)
There is an initrd included on the cd for making a single root disk(I
used it
to try to make a bootable cd), But it wont fit on a floppy disk (I tried
several... rawrite failed on it each time...).
So after finally getting it to boot with all the floppies, I didnt see
any difference from the first time I installed slackware to now in the
installer... its the same old curses based interface.. why go from 1
compuressed root image to 5 uncompressed images? What is the benefit of the
new installer? anyone else try slack 8.1? was your mileage the same?
