ZipSlack</a></h1>
<p>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 <tt
class="FILENAME">zipslack</tt> 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.</p>
<p>If you want to download ZipSlack, you should first visit our “Get Slack”
web page for the latest download information:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.slackware.com/getslack/"
target="_top">http://www.slackware.com/getslack/</a></p>
<p>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:</p>
<p><a href="ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/"
target="_top">ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/</a></p>
<p>You'll find ZipSlack in the <tt class="FILENAME">/zipslack</tt> subdirectory. ZipSlack
is offered as one big <tt class="FILENAME">.ZIP</tt> file or floppy-sized chunks. The
chunks are in the <tt class="FILENAME">/zipslack/split</tt> directory.</p>
<p>Don't stop at just the <tt class="FILENAME">.ZIP</tt> files. You should also download
the documentation files and any boot images that appear in the directory.</p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="ZIPSLACK-INSTALLATION" name="ZIPSLACK-INSTALLATION">19.2.1
Installation</a></h2>
<p>Once you've downloaded the necessary components, you'll need to extract the <tt
class="FILENAME">.ZIP</tt> 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.</p>
<p>ZipSlack is designed to be extracted directly to the root directory of a drive (such
as <tt class="DEVICENAME">C:</tt> or <tt class="DEVICENAME">D:</tt>). A <tt
class="FILENAME">\LINUX</tt> 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.</p>
<p>After you've extracted the files, you should have a <tt class="FILENAME">\LINUX</tt>
directory on the drive of your choosing (we'll use <tt class="DEVICENAME">C:</tt> from
here on).</p>
