----------------------------------------------------------- These are the files in the top level directory: path: / ----------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Walnut Creek Slackware Linux 2.3.0 CD-ROM! README.TXT The Walnut Creek Slackware CDROM Readme file. Some directories on this cdrom aren't accessable from the MSDOS view program. READ THIS FILE FIRST! It will tell how to generate boot and root floppy discs needed to install Slackware Linux. BOOT AND ROOT DISKS: You'll need to make one boot and one root disk before you can install Linux on your machine. You can make these disks directly from the VIEW program by moving into the directories below. bootdsks.12/ The 1.2 megabyte (5.25") bootdisks for installation. bootdsks.144/ The 1.44 megabyte (3.5") bootdisks for installation. rootdsks.12/ The 1.2 megabyte (5.25") rootdisks for installation. rootdsks.144/ The 1.44 megabyte (3.5") rootdisks for installation. BOOTING This file contains information about how to fix a system that won't boot. INSTALL.TXT Matt Welsh's Linux Installation HOWTO. This is a document explaining how to install Linux. It's geared more toward obtaining and installing Slackware from the Internet FTP site, but still contains useful information for the Linux beginner. LOWMEM.TXT What to do if you run into problems due to low memory. SLAKWARE.FAQ Solutions to frequently encountered problems. contents/ A list of the files in each installable software package. contrib/ This directory contains extra packages for Slackware, such as the Andrew User Interface System, GNU Fortran 77, GNU Common LISP, GNU gnat (Ada), GNU Pascal, NCSA httpd, ircII, Lucid Emacs, troff source for the manual pages, SLiRP (a program you can run on a remote Unix host to emulate a SLIP/CSLIP account), and more. docs/ This directory contains the full set of Linux HOWTOs, documents that cover most common Linux maintenance tasks. In addition, you'll find documentation for the MS-DOS VIEW.EXE program, plus our catalog in several languages. filename.txt A list of all file names on the disc. install/ This directory contains RAWRITE, GZIP, and FIPS. These are tools that you might find handy if you're running MS-DOS. GZIP is a Unix-compatible compession/decompression utility. RAWRITE allows you to dump a disk image file onto a floppy disk. FIPS lets you shrink the size of an existing MS-DOS partition to make room for a Linux partition. ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1.2 megabyte (5.25") bootdisks for installation. path: /bootdsks.12/ ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 MB LINUX BOOTDISKS To install Linux, you'll need a bootdisk and a rootdisk. The bootdisk has to contain drivers that support your hardware, so you'll have to select the most appropriate disk from the list below. NOTE: it's best to use the disk with the least drivers possible to save memory. README.TXT This file contains information about the drivers in the various bootdisks, and instructions for using a bootdisk to start a system that isn't booting properly. WHICH.ONE A chart to help you select which bootdisk to use. Now, put a formatted floppy disk in your boot drive and select one of the images below. Hitting ENTER will create the boot image in drive A: Disk images used for installing from CD-ROM: aztech.bat This disk supports Aztech CDA268-01A, ORCHID CD-3110, and OKANO/WEARNES CDD110 CD-ROM drives. cdu31a.bat This disk supports the Sony CDU-31A and 33A CD-ROM drives. old31a.bat This is another disk that supports the Sony CDU-31A and 33A drives, but autoprobes for the drive controller. It might work better on some systems. cdu535.bat This disk supports the Sony CDU-531 and CDU-535 CD-ROM drives. idecd.bat This disk supports most IDE/ATAPI complient CD-ROM drives. mitsumi.bat This disk supports the Mitsumi CRMC LU005S, FX001S, and FX001D CD-ROM drives. sbpcd.bat This disk supports the Matsushita, Kotobuki, Panasonic, and CreativeLabs (SoundBlaster CD): CR-521, CR-522, CR-523, CR-562, CR-563; Longshine LCS-7260; IBM External ISA CD-ROM Drive; and the quad speed TEAC CD-55A. scsi.bat This disk supports SCSI CD-ROM drives connected to one of the following SCSI controllers: Adaptec 152x/1542/1740/274x/284x Generic NCR5380 Buslogic NCR 53c7,8xx EATA-DMA (DPT/NEC/AT&T) Always IN2000 Seagate ST-02 Pro Audio Spectrum 16 Future Domain TMC-8xx, 16xx QLogic Trantor T128/T128F/T228 Ultrastor 7000 FASST Disk images used for installing from other sources, such as floppy disk, hard drive, tape, or NFS: bare.bat This is a "bare" Linux bootdisk, used to install to an IDE hard drive from floppy or hard disk. net.bat This disk is used for installing to an IDE hard drive from NFS (Network File System). scsinet1.bat This disk is used to install via NFS to a system using one of the following SCSI controllers: Adaptec 152x/1542/1740/274x/284x, Buslogic, EATA-DMA (DPT/NEC/AT&T), Seagate ST-02, Future Domain TMC-8xx, 16xx scsinet2.bat This disk is used to install via NFS to a system using one of the following SCSI controllers: Generic NCR5380, NCR 53c7,8xx, Always IN2000, Pro Audio Spectrum 16, QLogic, Trantor T128/T128F/T228, Ultrastor, 7000 FASST xt.bat This disk allows you to install from floppy disk or hard drive to a machine using XT style (RLL/MFM) hard drives. ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1.44 megabyte (3.5") bootdisks for installation. path: /bootdsks.144/ ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.44 MB LINUX BOOTDISKS To install Linux, you'll need a bootdisk and a rootdisk.
