UMSDOS install disk: This is an version of the Slackware Linux distribution made to be installed onto existing DOS partitions without the need for repartitioning or reformatting. The system will be installed into a \linux directory on one of your DOS partitions, and will be bootable through the use of a boot disk. Don't create a \linux directory on your dos drive prior to installing. All of the Slackware bootkernel disks support UMSDOS, so you can pick whichever one of those seems best suited to your hardware. You will need 4 megabytes minimum to install this software. I tried installing the A series and found it took slightly less than 12 megabytes. So, to give Linux a test drive, that's the smallest space you can squeeze a minimal system into. I'll take any bug reports or comments you have on this. I get *tons* of mail, so if I don't answer yours, don't take it personally. :^) I wish I could answer it all. Good luck, and have fun trying this out! --- Patrick Volkerding volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu volkerdi@ftp.cdrom.com
