(A smaller number allows more inodes on the file system, which is useful
only if you have many small files, as you might on a news server.)
10. Select other partitions. If you created other Linux partitions, you can assign file system
types and format them as well. Identify where in the file system the other partitions are
connected. (Again, check Chapter 7 for information on where you might want to attach a
partition to you Linux file system.)
11. Choose your source media. Select 1, in most circumstances, so that Slackware is installed
from the CD. You can also install Slackware from a partition on your hard drive, from an
NFS shared file system, or from a premounted directory.
You can have Setup scan for your Slackware CD or tell it a particular device to use (if you
have multiple drives and you want to tell it which to use).
12. Select the different package series that you want to install and press OK. General package
series include:
Base Linux system (the core of the operating system and basic utilities)
Various applications that do not need X (non-graphical commands)
Program Development (C, C++, Lisp, Perl, and so on)
GNU Emacs (a text editor)
FAQ lists, HOWTO documentation
Linux kernel source
Qt and the K Desktop Environment for X
International support for KDE
NOTE

Networking (TCP/IP, UUCP, mail, news, and so on)

If you are installing from the single CD image, deselect KDE and KDEI because they come
on the second CD.
