Question about slackware 8.1 rootdisk

[Edward L. Barnes]

Alex, you weren't picky enough when you chose where to download your 
Slackware from, if you uyse the sourceforge mirror to download from 
it'll be bruitally slow however I find that a better place to download 
most Linux versions from as they mirror most distroes is: 
ftp.rutgers.edu. 
Hth!
