1.44 MB LINUX BOOTDISKS
To install Linux, you'll need a bootdisk and a rootdisk. The bootdisk
has to contain drivers that support your hardware, so you'll have to select
the most appropriate disk for your system. NOTE: it's best to use the
disk with the least drivers possible to save memory.
README.TXT This file contains information about the drivers in the
various bootdisks, and instructions for using a bootdisk to
start a system that isn't booting properly.
WHICH.ONE A chart to help you select which bootdisk to use.
ide-bat/ If your system does not have a SCSI controller, you'll want
to use one of the IDE Slackware bootdisks. To create one of
these, select this option to switch into the ide-bat directory
and choose a disk from the list.
scsi-bat/ If your system has a SCSI controller, you'll need to use one
of the SCSI Slackware bootdisks. To create one of these, use
this option to switch into the scsi-bat directory and then
choose a disk from the list.
NOTE: The RAWRITE utility used to create the boot and root floppies does not
work under Windows95, so if you're running Windows95 you should restart
your machine in MS-DOS mode before attempting to make the disks.
