19.1 What is +ZipSlack?

+ +

ZipSlack is a special version of Slackware Linux. 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.

+ +

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.

+ +

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.

+ +

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.

+ +
+

19.1.1 +Advantages

    Does not require repartitioning of your hard disk.

    +
    • +
+
+ +
+

19.1.2 +Disadvantages

+ +
    +
  • +

    Uses the DOS filesystem, which is slower than a native Linux filesystem.

    • + +
  • +

    Will not work with Windows NT.
