[CVALE] Another Slackware question:

     Hi again,

     Tried downloading the Slackware 11 .iso files so I could write some 
disks for safe-keeping, but only got these little 5???? bythe files, and 
I haven't a clue what they are, or how to use them.  Do these work with 
something like installpkg or pkgtool, or what?  I didn't see any/an 
explanation of them on the wevsite.  Just to keep the feed going as much 
as possible.  I must have missed a sentence somewhere in all the docs to 
explain what I'm supposed to do with these .iso files.  Usually I just 
buy disks from cheapbytes, as I used 56K and couldn't keep a connection 
open long enough to download a complete disk image.  Unless I used up 
most of my bandwidth on it.  Usenet took most of that.  Anyway, it's new 
territory for me, and I missed the speaker's introduction...I guess. 
Didn't see anything in SlackBook, either.  TIA,

         Michael
