Welcome to the April 1995 Slackware 2.2 CDROM from Walnut Creek CDROM!
This CDROM contains the Slackware 2.2 distribution, a Unix-like 32-bit
multiuser, multitasking operating system for your IBM-compatible PC. You
get everything you need to install and use this operating system,
including C compilers, programming libraries, and even the X window
system!
To install Linux, you have to create two floppy disks: A BOOT disk
(to boot the system) and a ROOT disk (to load in a minimal version
of Linux into a RAMdisk). If you're viewing this file from DOS using
our handy View program (type `go' from the CDROM), it will assist you
in this process.
You will want to create your BOOT and ROOT disks according to what kind
of equipment you have. A README file in each floppy disk directory describes
each disk in detail. Then you can simply select the boot and root disks that
you want to create and the View program will do it for you.
