+ZipSlack</a></h1>
+
+<p>Obtaining ZipSlack is easy. If you have purchased the official Slackware Linux CD set,
+then you already have ZipSlack. Just find the CD that contains the <tt
+class="FILENAME">zipslack</tt> directory and place it in your CD-ROM drive. It's usually
+the third or fourth disc, but always trust the labels over this documentation as the disk
+it resides on is prone to change.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to download ZipSlack, you should first visit our &#8220;Get Slack&#8221;
+web page for the latest download information:</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.slackware.com/getslack/"
+target="_top">http://www.slackware.com/getslack/</a></p>
+
+<p>ZipSlack is part of each Slackware release. Locate the release you want, and go to
+that directory on the FTP site. The latest release directory can be found at this
+location:</p>
+
+<p><a href="ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/"
+target="_top">ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/</a></p>
+
+<p>You'll find ZipSlack in the <tt class="FILENAME">/zipslack</tt> subdirectory. ZipSlack
+is offered as one big <tt class="FILENAME">.ZIP</tt> file or floppy-sized chunks. The
+chunks are in the <tt class="FILENAME">/zipslack/split</tt> directory.</p>
+
+<p>Don't stop at just the <tt class="FILENAME">.ZIP</tt> files. You should also download
+the documentation files and any boot images that appear in the directory.</p>
+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="ZIPSLACK-INSTALLATION" name="ZIPSLACK-INSTALLATION">19.2.1
+Installation</a></h2>
+
+<p>Once you've downloaded the necessary components, you'll need to extract the <tt
+class="FILENAME">.ZIP</tt> file. Be sure to use a 32-bit unzipper. The size and filenames
+in the archive are too much for a 16-bit unzipper. Examples of 32-bit unzippers include
+WinZip and PKZIP for Windows.</p>
+
+<p>ZipSlack is designed to be extracted directly to the root directory of a drive (such
+as <tt class="DEVICENAME">C:</tt> or <tt class="DEVICENAME">D:</tt>). A <tt
+class="FILENAME">\LINUX</tt> directory will be created that contains the actual Slackware
+installation. You'll also find the files necessary to booting the system in that
+directory as well.</p>
+
+<p>After you've extracted the files, you should have a <tt class="FILENAME">\LINUX</tt>
+directory on the drive of your choosing (we'll use <tt class="DEVICENAME">C:</tt> from
+here on).</p>
