You can find ZipSlack
on any Slackware mirror site.
If you are installing Slackware 12.0, 500MB is the minimum amount of disk space you should have
available on your Linux partition. The recommended amount of hard disk space is at least 3.5GB
for a full desktop install.
Slackware supports all IDE and SCSI controllers supported by the Linux kernel itself.
Starting Installation
Although the Slackware installer has evolved over the years, its basic look-and-feel hasn??™t changed
much. There are some things you still need to do manually, such as setting up RAID or doing
partitioning.
The following steps describe how to install Slackware from the first installation CD. For the purposes
of this book, this procedure demonstrates a minimal installation from the first Slackware CD. If
you want to install Linux on low-end hardware (slow CPU and minimal RAM), this procedure is a
great way to end up with a workable, minimal desktop system.
If you want to do a more complete installation of Slackware, you should obtain the Slackware 12.0
DVD or three-CD installation set. For more detailed information (or if something goes wrong during
the installation that isn??™t covered here), refer to the Slackware-HOWTO, which is on the first
Slackware CD.
1. Obtain a Slackware installation disc.
