has anyone managed to get slack 8.1's install to boot off a cd? i cant, although other distros and other cd's work fine. i know i can use the boot/root disks, but 6 floppy disks take so long to make...

All the Linux distro installation cd's are bootable as long as you created them correctly.

Do you see a actual filesystem (files and directories) on the cd?
