Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy! -P.

It's an already installed copy of +Slackware that's ready to run from your DOS or Windows partition. It's a basic +installation, you do not get everything that comes with Slackware.</p> + +<p>ZipSlack gets its name from the form it's distributed in, a big .ZIP file. Users of +DOS and Windows will probably be familiar with these files. They are compressed archives. +The ZipSlack archive contains everything you need to get up and running with +Slackware.</p> + +<p>It is important to note that ZipSlack is significantly different from a regular +installation. Even though they function the same and contain the same programs, their +intended audiences and functions differ. Several advantages and disadvantages of ZipSlack +are discussed below.</p> + +<p>One last thing, you should always review the documentation included in the actual +ZipSlack directory. It contains the latest information regarding installation, booting, +and general use of the product.</p> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="ZIPSLACK-ADVANTAGES" name="ZIPSLACK-ADVANTAGES">19.1.1 +Advantages</a></h2> + +<ul> +<li> +<p>Does not require repartitioning of your hard disk.</p> +</li> + +<li> +<p>Great way to learn Slackware Linux without stumbling through the installation +process.</p> +</li> +</ul> +</div> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="ZIPSLACK-DISADVANTAGES" name="ZIPSLACK-DISADVANTAGES">19.1.2 +Disadvantages</a></h2> + +<ul> +<li> +<p>Uses the DOS filesystem, which is slower than a native Linux filesystem.</p> +</li> + +<li> +<p>Will not work with Windows NT.</p> +</li> +</ul> +</div> +</div> +</div> + +<div class="NAVFOOTER"> +<hr align="LEFT" width="100%" /> +<table summary="Footer navigation table" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" +cellspacing="0"> +<tr> +<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a +href="package-management-making-tags-and-tagfiles.html" accesskey="P">Prev</a></td> +<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html" +accesskey="H">Home</a></td> +<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a href="zipslack-getting.html" +accesskey="N">Next</a></td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top">Making Tags and Tagfiles (for setup)</td> +<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"> </td> +<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top">Getting ZipSlack</td> +</tr> +</table> +</div> +</body> +</html> + |
