Oh dear God, not Slackware.  Day, trust me on this: you won't get along with
it.  It doesn't give you any help at all.  You boot the install disk and it
gets you to log in, then gives you a shell prompt.  You have to create your
partitions yourself, then launch the installer.  When the installer's done,
you sometimes have to reinstall LILO by hand.  Then you get to reboot, and
it sticks you at a console login prompt.  Or seven of them, to be more
precise.  From there you're on your own.  The current version appears to do
X configuration for you, but I don't think it's automatic, just a
best-guess.  It assumes you know what you're doing and you've been using
UNIX for years.
