i would suggest you do an FTP install of RedHat 5.1 or Debian or
something other than slakware... seeing as the last release was so long
ago, it is my opinion that slak is dead. if you dont wanna do a ftp
install then i suggest you get the InfoMagic 6cd set (usually most
computer/comp book stores have this) or go to www.cheapbytes.com and
order a cd for like 1.99$....
