I’m curious, though. What happens to Slackware when Patrick is gone? Is this pretty much a one-guy show? Or are others working with him
You yourself can make it go on. Give it a test:
1. take the initrd from the directory isolinux on the first slackware cd and copy it to your harddisk
2. mv initrd initrd.gz
3. gunzip initrd.gz
4. mount -o loop initrd _mnt_hd
5. take a look at the files under _mnt_hd and you will find, it’s busybox and some setup files in _mnt_hd/usr/lib/setup. You can change them to your needs
6. make your own packages and use the usual makepkg-scripts you can find on slackware.com and mirrors
7. use isolinux to create your own bootable cd
