slack 7.1 ISO? burners? firewalls? and grilled cheese

[paully]

Howdy, where can I download the ISO for slack 7.1 all at once? I went to slackware.com but it had everything individually and seemes like it would take way to long to download. I plan on downloading it in win98 and burn the whole thing. I have the boot and root disks. also, anyone have a creative or HP 8x speed burner runnin in slack 7.1. It seems from the X-cd-roast page it isnt supported? Unless it's ATAPI/mmc compliant but not sure which burners are ATAPI and dont know what the heck mmc stands for. I currently have a philips 4x cdrw460 and wanted to see if i could get it to run even though its not on the list. Also, I'm lookin for a good(personal) firewall to run with slack 7.1?
Thanks for all the help!

I figured I'd try slack since so many people say how great it is.

Slack: www.linuxiso.org (http://www.linuxiso.org) (its a bootable CD so you should not need boot disk)

Firewall: PMfirewall www.freshmeat.net (http://www.freshmeat.net)

Yah, www.linux.org (http://www.linux.org) or www.linuxiso.org (http://www.linuxiso.org) or even ftp.linux.tucows.com (and many more) all have mirrors of the install ISO.


For the burner, you will need scsi emulation setup - the CD Writing HOWTO (www.linuxdoc.org or you can install them during system install) has the latest copy of that.

For a firewall, check out gShield - its nice, and it has a gui config tool.

thanks for the info, I got the (slack 7.1)ISO but when I changed my cmos to boot to cdrom it would just say no bootable cd exist. I saved the ISO and burned it as data(my default is disk at once) in ez cd creator 4. Anyone know why it wouldnt boot from cdrom? Its not the cdrom itself, I've used it to install redhat older versions of redhat.

thanks

If I were you I wouldn't bother with fixing the CDROM. Simply create boot and root disks and install it...
