- UMSDS144 install disk:
-
- This is an version of the Slackware Linux distribution made to be installed
- onto existing DOS partitions without the need for repartitioning or
- reformatting. The system will be installed into a \linux directory on one
- of your DOS partitions, and will be bootable through the use of a boot disk.
- Don't create a \linux directory on your dos drive prior to installing.
-
- All of the Slackware bootkernel disks support UMSDOS, so you can pick whichever
- one of those seems best suited to your hardware.
-
- You will need 4 megabytes minimum to install this software.
-
- I tried installing the A series and found it took slightly less than 12
- megabytes. So, to give Linux a test drive, that's the smallest space
- you can squeeze a minimal system into.
-
- I'll take any bug reports or comments you have on this. I get *tons* of mail,
- so if I don't answer yours, don't take it personally. :^) I wish I could
- answer it all.
-
- Good luck, and have fun trying this out!
