Installing Slackware Without Hardware Synthesizer

[Jude DaShiell]

What you do with slackware after getting it up and speaking is to run 
the setup program on disc1 of the set or on the dvd.  The setup program 
itself runs scripts like setup.1 and setup.2 ..., setup.7 if I remember 
correctly is for setting up network connections.
