Question Slackware64-current v.s. Slackware64-live-current for installing onto main PC?

I heard twice that slackware 64 current install DVD is different than the live DVD? Which one should I use to install and if this is the case then why does the live DVD offer an option to install it at all?
Where should I get my .iso from then?

Official Slackware iso is this: https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackw...re64-15.0-iso/

everything else is NOT official. If you want a stable official Slackware iso thats your only choice.

15.0 doesn't work on my pc because the wifi drivers don't work so I Need current. Where and how can I download the .iso for the slackware64-current? I see the option but I Don't see an option to download it via .iso

Now who is rude about Slackware? Learn to spell Pat Volkerdings last name properly before you start yelling in boldface all caps.
I looked at https://slackware.nl/slackware/slackware64-current-iso/ and the ISO is right there. Don't know what your issue is.

You could also build you own ISO.

See mirror-slackware-current.sh here: https://slackware.nl/people/alien/tools/

Use mirror-slackware-current.sh -h to get available parameters.
Use mirror-slackware-current.sh -w write a default configuration file.

1) The link is not broken.
2) If for some reason you can't access the server, try one of these mirrors:
https://us.slackware.nl/slackware/sl...4-current-iso/
https://slackware.uk/people/alien-cu...4-current-iso/

The second link worked but the first one I swear to you says it can't connect to the internet. I am trying to get protonVPN to work on my laptop so it may be the prisons internet which I have the password for but it is limited and very much censored.

Why are you struggling to be able to secretly downloading the Slackware installation isos through a VPN proxy service only to in a public forum like this write about what you are trying to download?

@Marav, the checksum link is indeed wrong
should be https://slackware.nl/slackware/slack...ent-iso/MD5SUM
is https://slackware.nl/slackware/slack...rent-iso/MD5SM <-- missing the "U" in "SUM"
