ZipSlack</a></h1>
<p>There are several ways to boot ZipSlack. The most common is to use the included
LINUX.BAT to boot the system from DOS (or from DOS mode under Windows 9x). This file must
be edited to match your system before it will work.</p>
<p>Start by opening the <tt class="FILENAME">C:\LINUX\LINUX.BAT</tt> file in your
favorite text editor. At the top of the file you will notice a large comment. It explains
what you need to edit in this file (and also what to do if you are booting from an
external Zip drive). Don't worry if you don't understand the <var
class="LITERAL">root=</var> setting. There are several examples, so feel free to pick one
and try it. If it doesn't work, you can edit the file again, comment out the line you
uncommented, and pick another one.</p>
<p>After you uncomment the line you want by removing the “rem” at the
beginning of the line, save the file and exit the editor. Bring your machine into DOS
mode.</p>
<p>A DOS prompt window in Windows 9x will NOT work.</p>
<p>Type <tt class="COMMAND">C:\LINUX\LINUX.BAT</tt> to boot the system. If all goes well,
you should be presented with a login prompt.</p>
<p>Log in as <tt class="USERNAME">root</tt>, with no password. You'll probably want to
set a password for root, as well as adding an account for yourself. At this point you can
refer to the other sections in this book for general system usage.</p>
<p>If using the <tt class="FILENAME">LINUX.BAT</tt> file to boot the system didn't work
for you, you should refer to the included <tt class="FILENAME">C:\LINUX\README.1ST</tt>
file for other ways to boot.</p>
