Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun! --- slackbook/html/zipslack-getting.html | 110 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 110 insertions(+) create mode 100644 slackbook/html/zipslack-getting.html (limited to 'slackbook/html/zipslack-getting.html') diff --git a/slackbook/html/zipslack-getting.html b/slackbook/html/zipslack-getting.html new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3e3e54f48 --- /dev/null +++ b/slackbook/html/zipslack-getting.html @@ -0,0 +1,110 @@ + + + + +Getting ZipSlack + + + + + + + + + +

19.2 Getting +ZipSlack

+ +

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 zipslack 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.

+ +

If you want to download ZipSlack, you should first visit our “Get Slack” +web page for the latest download information:

+ +

http://www.slackware.com/getslack/

+ +

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:

+ +

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/

+ +

You'll find ZipSlack in the /zipslack subdirectory. ZipSlack +is offered as one big .ZIP file or floppy-sized chunks. The +chunks are in the /zipslack/split directory.

+ +

Don't stop at just the .ZIP files. You should also download +the documentation files and any boot images that appear in the directory.

+ +
+

19.2.1 +Installation

+ +

Once you've downloaded the necessary components, you'll need to extract the .ZIP 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.

+ +

ZipSlack is designed to be extracted directly to the root directory of a drive (such +as C: or D:). A \LINUX 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.

+ +

After you've extracted the files, you should have a \LINUX +directory on the drive of your choosing (we'll use C: from +here on).
