- These are root-install disks for Slackware 2.3.0.
-
- You will need one of these disks to install Linux. The disk is created by
- uncompressing the image with GZIP.EXE. (Example: GZIP -d colrlite.gz), and
- then writing the image out with RAWRITE.EXE. RAWRITE is interactive and
- reasonably user-friendly.
-
- Here's a description of the choices:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1.2 MB drives: (NOTE: If you have a 1.44 MB second floppy drive, you can use the
- 1.44 MB root disks in it)
-
- colrlite.gz: A root-install disk for 1.2 MB floppy drives. This disk uses the
- new full-screen color install program. The keytable support that is present in
- color144 was removed so this could fit on a 1.2 MB disk. NOTE: This version of
- the install system has some known bugs. It is, in particular, not forgiving of
- extra keystrokes entered between screens. It is nice to look at, though. :^)
-
- umsdos12.gz: A version of colrlite used to install using UMSDOS - a filesystem
- that allows you to install Linux into a directory on an existing MS-DOS
- partition. Not as fast as ext2 or xiafs, but it works, and you don't have to
- repartition your drive. See README.UMS for more information.
-
- tty12.gz: A root-install disk for 1.2 MB floppy drives. This contains new
- versions of the tty-based install scripts from previous Slackware releases. All
- the new keymaps should be supported.
