We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider

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.
