Well, I'm not a pro, but I installed Slackware 10.1 on a PII 166MHZ 64MEG RAM machine with the boot and install disks. Once I had good .iso's it worked fine. From what I remember, I was prompted for the disks, and the install went fine. I wanted to also install it on a 486DX75 with an old soundblaster cd, so I would be interested in hearing how this goes for you.
