I believe that Slackware is distributed in "Disk Sets".
The newer one comes on CD, but is or should still be
broken down into individual disk sets comprised of
a stack of 1.44's.
Example, the base system including the kernel, login
etc. is disk set A, and used to be about 4 floppies.
You load those in, then disk set C, E, N whatever you
want. Just keep feeding it floppies. :-)
Slackware, like all other distros, can be obtained on
$1.99 CD from Cheapbytes and their ilk. I'd spend the
bucks and investigate this.
I used to use Slackware back in 1994. I do not think
anything has changed in this regards. It actually is
a good system that has stood the test of time.
Be aware Slackware is BSD-flavored Linux and not Sys-V
flavored Linux like RedHat/Mandrake/SuSE. If you do
not know what I am talking about, you will soon find
out... hehehehehehe. :-)
The home of Slackware is http://www.cdrom.com It is
also the home of FreeBSD. Nice site.
