Re: [TCLUG:10144] Slackware Install

[Thomas Veldhouse <veldy@visi.com>]

	You will need many disks, and there is a better than decent chance
that you will find one or more floppies corrupt in the middle of the
install.  Murphy says it will happen.  If you have another Unix up and
running, I would share the Slackware image using NFS and then install via
NFS instead.  It is still slower than off a CD-ROM, but much faster and
more reliable than using floppies.

	If you are using floppies to install, you will need bare.i and
color.gz for you boot and root floppies respectively.  If you try an NFS
install, try net.i and color.gz.
