Bogus was not bogus!! it was for 3l33t h4x0rs!! rebuild the whole system
(ala FreeBSD make world) in a chroot()'ed /tmp!! all-A.OUT!! this was
actually touted as a FEATURE, not a bug!
(well, ELF has a BIG disadvantage over A.OUT -- you lose the use of one
register, which is needed for position-independent code; and on the x86
one register is a BIG DEAL!!)
the last slackware i installed from diskettes was 2.2 i believe. =)
try installing MINIX from diskettes!!!
