Forget the money draft. Just tell them your VISA number.

Using VISA, it's around 9 USD. Or 11 USD for two CDroms,
$13 for three, $15 for four, $17 for five, $19 for six.
I ordered six, resold four locally and recovered all my
money before the VISA account arrived.

I agree 100%. For computers with 4meg RAM (or less),
DOS is best. However, 1meg SIMMs are now throw-away
items, so every 386 should be maxed out.

The computer with the CDrom drive needs to serve NFS to
the network. This can be from DOS (using a packetdriver
and SOSS) or from Linux (setup in rc.inet2).
The Slackware installation routine (on the client) is
capable of mounting the NFS from the server. However,
for this to work, the client must be listed in the
server's "exports" file
Let me know if you need help with this.
Cheers,
Steven
