- This directory contains the primary Slackware packages -- the ones that
- actually install files to your hard drive. You can install these packages
- with "setup", "pkgtool", or "installpkg". See the man pages (man installpkg)
- for details.
-
- Share Slackware with your friends! Just use the quick and easy disk
- mastering utility in this directory, and you can make installable
- 3.5" Linux disk sets. NOTE: Only the A and N series will fit on (and can be
- installed from) floppy disks at this point. Some of the larger software
- packages were growing to the point where fragmenting them to fit on floppy
- disk was no longer practical. But, these days it's pretty easy to dump
- all of the packages onto a Zip or Jaz disk, or burn them onto a CD-R.
- That's probably more likely to work without failure than a stack of 100+
- floppy disks, too.
-
- Have fun!
