System Requirement

• 1 Slackware 8.1 CD
• 2 Installation Disk Set( if Slackware CD can not
  boot )
• 3 Free space of harddisk about 3 GByte for full
  installation
• 4 Minimum RAM 32 Mbyte

10
Basic Installation Step

• 1 Prepare Installation Floppy disk set ( if your
  Slackware CD is not bootable )
• 2 Boot system from floppy disk or Slackware CD
• 3 Create Linux partition
• 4 Use setup program for install Linux
• 5 Restart

11
1. Create Slackware Installation Floppy Disk Sets
12
Create Slackware Installation Floppy Disk Sets

• Step1 Download all boot/root floppy disk from
  ftp//ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.
  1/bootdisks/
• ftp//ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8
  .1/rootdisks/

13
Create Slackware Installation Floppy Disk Sets

• Step2 use rawrite.exe program from bootdisks
  directory to create boot/root floppy disks from
  following files
• bootdisks/bare.i
• rootdisks/install.1
• rootdisks/install.2
• rootdisks/install.3
• rootdisks/install.4
• rootdisks/install.5

14
Create Slackware Installation Floppy Disk Sets

• Example Using rawrite.exe to create floppy from
  bare.i

1. Image file
2. Destination Floppy Drive
3. Press Enter
15
2. Boot system from floppy disk Or Slackware CD
16
