Linux Install Question

[Rodney]

Greg and Dave,
Thanks for the additional info.  I appreciate it.
So that is what I'll do... Bring down the install.iso and burn it to
disk.
Thanks.
Rodney

The isos are cd images
that could be  burned with cdrecord under Linux or a program like easy
cd creator under windows. You can get slackware 8.0 isos from:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.0/isos/
.
In this directory, install.iso contains the slackware 8.0 install cd.
extra.iso contains various kinds of usefull packages that don't come
with the install cd, and that you don't really need if you just want to
try out slackware. source.iso contains any other source code besides the
source code available on the install cd. Greg
