Please, do bear with me for a moment and help me go through it, thanks:
ok, so making images of Slack's boot (bareapm.i), root (color.gz), and
rescue (rescue.gz) disks seems to have worked (documentation says to make
images of all three files).
Now, in principle my initial idea was to strip windo
I believe, (its been a while since I installed Slackware) you just need to dd
the boot disk. I don't think you even have to mount it (I could be wrong). For
the color.gz "root" disk I think you have to start with a clean dos-formated
disk and simply;
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cp /mnt/cdrom/color.

say I want to make an image of Slackware's boot & root disks from my cdrom
to the floppy, would it be as follows?:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy
dd if =/dev/hdb/bare.i of=/dev/fd0
dd if=
