+Welcome to the Slackware Linux installation disk! (version 12.2)
+
+###### IMPORTANT! READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY. ######
+
+- You will need one or more partitions of type 'Linux' prepared. It is also
+ recommended that you create a swap partition (type 'Linux swap') prior
+ to installation. For more information, run 'setup' and read the help file.
+
+- If you're having problems that you think might be related to low memory, you
+ can try activating a swap partition before you run setup. After making a
+ swap partition (type 82) with cfdisk or fdisk, activate it like this:
+ mkswap /dev/<partition> ; swapon /dev/<partition>
+
+- Once you have prepared the disk partitions for Linux, type 'setup' to begin
+ the installation process.
+
+- If you do not have a color monitor, type: TERM=vt100
+ before you start 'setup'.
+
+You may now login as 'root'.
