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.
