+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 &#8220;rem&#8221; 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>
