Slackware IDE bootdisks ----------------------- This directory contains a collection of batch files used to create Slackware bootdisks. To create a disk, just put a formatted floppy disk in your drive and choose one of the options listed below to make the disk. Read all of the choices carefully to pick the disk that best matches the hardware in your machine. NOTE: Using the VIEW program to create the Slackware bootdisks will not work under Windows95. If you're running Windows95, you'll need to restart your machine in MS-DOS mode before you can create a bootdisk. NOTE: All of these disks contain support for IDE hard drives and CDROM drives. If you have additional equipment, look for the disk that supports it.
