- 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 color144.gz), and
- then writing the image out with RAWRITE.EXE. RAWRITE is interactive and
- reasonably user-friendly.
-
- Here's a description of the choices:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1.44 MB drives:
-
- color144.gz: A root-install disk for 1.44 MB floppy drives. This disk uses the
- new full-screen color install program. 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. :^)
-
- umsds144.gz: A version of color144 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.
-
- tty144.gz: A root-install disk for 1.44 MB floppy drives. This contains new
- versions of the tty-based install scripts from previous Slackware releases. All
- the new keymaps should be supported.
-
- tape144.gz: A semi-experimental disk designed to support installation from tape.
- See the file README_T.APE for more information about this disk.
