- Here is a blurb from the FAQ - once again showing that it pays to
- RTFM once in a while.
-
- SLS is a complete Linux package that is designed (hopefully) for idiot proof
- installation. I think that at present the SLS version of Linux will be 0.99p2
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Prices are for a disk charge of $3.25 US.
-
- Tiny base system: 9 Meg (Series 'a') $23
- Main base system: 25 Meg (Series 'a', 'b' and 'c') $52.25
- Main base system + X11: 45 Meg (Series 'a', 'b', 'c' and 'x') $78.25
-
- SLS is available from the address:
-
- Softlanding Software
- 910 Lodge Ave.
- Victoria, B.C., Canada
- V8X-3A8
- (604) 360-0188
-
- More details about SLS can be asked to pmacdona@sanjuan.uvic.ca

-
- Or, even better, buy 3 boxes of disks, find a friend with net access,
- and tell them you'll give them a case of beer if they pull off the 25 or so
- disks of SLS via ftp. The ftp address near you can be found in the FAQ. This
- method is a lot cheaper (...and quicker)
-
- Best of Luck.
