19.3 Booting +ZipSlack

+ +

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.

+ +

Start by opening the C:\LINUX\LINUX.BAT 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 root= 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.

+ +

After you uncomment the line you want by removing the “rem” at the +beginning of the line, save the file and exit the editor. Bring your machine into DOS +mode.

+ +

A DOS prompt window in Windows 9x will NOT work.

+ +

Type C:\LINUX\LINUX.BAT to boot the system. If all goes well, +you should be presented with a login prompt.

+ +

Log in as root, 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.

+ +

If using the LINUX.BAT file to boot the system didn't work +for you, you should refer to the included C:\LINUX\README.1ST +file for other ways to boot.
