Archer: Internode's mirror (unofficial mirror) carries it.

I always download the individual files using rsync. Then build my own .iso image. A couple of reliable mirrors I use are: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/ e.g. This skips source etc. for a faster download. Of course you can include them if you want everything. bwlimit so I can still watch streaming TV at the same time. rsync \ --bwlimit=375 \ -avzP --delete --human-readable \ --filter=-_/source \ --filter=-_/extra \ --filter=-_/pasture \ --filter=-_/testing \ rsync://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/slackware/slackware-13.1/ . or (this should be all on one line) rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ slackware-13.1/ . (DO NOT FORGET THE FINAL DOT) I put some details about this in another post on here recently. Look for Jun 29 post by author geep. Cheers, Peter

Yes, I think this is good way to go, I keep local mirror of slack install tress I'm interested in too. Here's the script I use that updates several version of slackware, I run it manually whenever I think of it, usually a few times per week. ~$ cat /usr/local/bin/rs #!/bin/bash # # rsync slackware install sources to local mirror # # Copyright (C) 2006-2010 Grant Coady <http://bugs.id.au> GPLv2 # # 2010-05-25 add 13.1, cleanup # 2009-05-24 more comments, easier options # 2009-05-20 add slackware64! # 2008-12-11 rewrite again # set the source mirror host machine here, find these from the slackware.com # 'get slack' mirrors page #MIRROR_HOST="slackware.mirrors.tds.net" MIRROR_HOST="slackware.osuosl.org" #MIRROR_HOST="slackware.oregonstate.edu" #MIRROR_HOST="mirror.pacific.net.au" # set the local mirror parent directory here MIRROR_DIR="/home/mirror" # set bandwidth limit to this value in kiloBytes/second -- I set this to # 32kB/s on a 512/128kbps ADSL connection so there's plenty of bandwidth # available for normal web browsing and email while this script is running.

I always download the > individual files using rsync. Then build my own .iso image. Why? Why go to that much trouble? What advantage does making your own .iso provide? -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as his rectum exploded.
