It's like going back to RH 6.2 or older. The last time I did a floppy install was in 8.0 because my cd-rom is SCSI and doesn't auto boot. At that time the root and boot disks were bare.i and color.gz I think. You can do a floppy install for the basics still with the a and n series. Then you can continue on with a netowrk install. > > Take a look here for more information if you are still interested in Slack. > >http://www.slackware.com/book/ > > Also, look at the 4MB laptop How-to on tldp.org as it can help you out more. > > FWIW, I find the Slack install to be more straight forward than any other distro.
