----------------------------------------------------------- Root Directory path: / ----------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Walnut Creek Slackware Linux 3.9.0 CDROM! (disc 4 of the Slackware 4.0 release CDROM set) -------------------------------------------------------- README.TXT The Walnut Creek Slackware Linux CDROM Readme file. README39.TXT The Slackware Readme file. A list of features in Slackware, and some basic installation instructions. CD_INST.TXT A document explaining how to install Slackware from the official Walnut Creek Slackware CDROM. READ THIS FILE FIRST! It will tell you the system requirements needed to run Slackware, as well as how to make the boot and root disks required for installation. ================= BOOT AND ROOT DISKS: ======================================= You'll need to make one boot and one root disk before you can install Linux on your machine. You can make these disks directly from the VIEW program by moving into the directories below. bootdsks.12/ The 1.2 megabyte (5.25") bootdisks for installation. bootdsks.144/ The 1.44 megabyte (3.5") bootdisks for installation. rootdsks/ The rootdisks for installation. kernels/ This directory contains Linux kernels. ================= AUXILIARY DOCUMENTATION/FILES/UTILITIES ==================== BOOTING.TXT This file contains information about how to fix a system that won't boot. INSTALL.TXT Matt Welsh's Linux Installation HOWTO. This is a document explaining how to install Linux. It's geared more toward obtaining and installing Slackware from the Internet FTP site, but still contains useful information for the Linux beginner. LOWMEM.TXT What to do if you run into problems due to low memory. FAQ.TXT Solutions to frequently encountered problems. contents/ A list of the files in each installable software package. docs/ This directory contains the full set of Linux HOWTOs, documents that cover most common Linux maintenance tasks. In addition, you'll find documentation for the MS-DOS VIEW.EXE program, plus our catalog. filename.txt A list of all file names on the disc. gnome-1.0/ Binary and source packages for the GNOME desktop. gnu-archives/ Most of the GNU archives from prep.ai.mit.edu. install/ This directory contains RAWRITE, GZIP, and FIPS. These are tools that you might find handy if you're running MS-DOS. GZIP is a Unix-compatible compession/decompression utility. RAWRITE allows you to dump a disk image file onto a floppy disk. FIPS lets you shrink the size of an existing MS-DOS partition to make room for a Linux partition. zipslack/ This is a basic Linux installation supplied as a .ZIP archive for easy installation on DOS partitions or Zip disks. Installs into a \LINUX directory -- no repartitioning necessary. ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1.2 megabyte (5.25") bootdisks for installation. path: /bootdsks.12/ ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 MB LINUX BOOTDISKS To install Linux, you'll need a bootdisk and a rootdisk. The bootdisk has to contain drivers that support your hardware, so you'll have to select the most appropriate disk for your system. NOTE: it's best to use the disk with the least drivers possible to save memory. README.TXT This file contains information about the drivers in the various bootdisks, and instructions for using a bootdisk to start a system that isn't booting properly. README.SCSI Information about using a SCSI controller with Slackware. WHICH.ONE A chart to help you select which bootdisk to use. ide-bat/ If your system does not have a SCSI controller, you'll want to use one of the IDE Slackware bootdisks. To create one of these, select this option to switch into the ide-bat directory and choose a disk from the list. scsi-bat/ If your system has a SCSI controller, you'll need to use one of the SCSI Slackware bootdisks. To create one of these, use this option to switch into the scsi-bat directory and then choose a disk from the list. NOTE: The RAWRITE utility used to create the boot and root floppies may not work under Windows95 and 98, so if you're running Windows you should restart your machine in MS-DOS mode before creating the disks. ----------------------------------------------------------- If your system does not have a SCSI controller, you'll want path: /bootdsks.12/ide-bat/ ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 may not work under Windows95 and 98. If you're running Windows, you should restart your machine in MS-DOS mode before creating 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. Name Additional driver support ---- ------------------------- bare.bat This is the disk to use for installation on most IDE based PCs. It includes support for IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Most CD-ROM drives made today fall into this catagory. net.bat An IDE/ATAPI bootdisk with Ethernet support. Use this for installing over a network to an IDE hard drive. NOTE: net.i, while a nice shortcut if it works, does not work on every machine, nor does it include every Linux network driver. Because of the large number of devices it looks for, it can hang the machine or cause other problems if it misidentifies something. This is an unavoidable risk when probing for hardware on the PC platform. If you run into problems with net.i (or it doesn't see your network card), don't panic, just use a disk with less drivers. If you're not installing over the network, bare.i is probably the right choice. If you need network support, use bare.i, plus put 'insmod' and the required network modules on another floppy to load before running setup. The README files in the ../modules directory explain this process in detail. This disk also includes PLIP support, but you'll need to pass a parameter to the kernel to tell the parallel port driver which IRQ to use. For example, if you want to use a parallel port on 0x378, IRQ 7, you would use this command on the bootdisk's 'boot:' prompt: ramdisk parport=0x378,7 You may also use this command to make the driver autodetect your port and IRQ: ramdisk parport=auto ----------------------------------------------------------- If your system has a SCSI controller, you'll need to use one path: /bootdsks.12/scsi-bat/ ----------------------------------------------------------- Slackware SCSI 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 may not work under Windows. If you're running Windows95 or 98, you should restart your machine in MS-DOS mode before creating a bootdisk. NOTE: In addition to some sort of SCSI support, all of these disks contain support for IDE hard drives and CDROM drives. So, if you're running a mixed IDE/SCSI system, the kernels on these disks will be able to handle the situation just fine. Look for the disk below containing support for your SCSI controller card. Name Additional driver support ---- ------------------------- scsi.bat A generic SCSI bootdisk, with support for most SCSI controllers that work under Linux. (NOTE: This disk wastes a lot of memory, since it contains nearly *all* of the SCSI drivers. If you know which SCSI controller your system has, it's *far* better to use the disk designed especially for it. But, if you don't know, then this generic disk might just work for you.) scsinet.bat Supports most SCSI controllers, plus many of the most common ethernet cards. Use this for installing over a network to a SCSI drive. (Or you can also use the bootdisk for your SCSI controller plus the appropriate ethernet module. See the README files in the ../modules directory if you want to try this approach) NOTE: Don't be too surprised if scsinet.s causes your machine to hang. It's loaded with nearly every SCSI and network driver for Linux, and unless your hardware is well behaved, the probing process can freeze your machine. If that happens, don't panic, just use a disk with less drivers. If you're not installing over the network, the disk designed for your SCSI controller is the right choice. If you need network support, use the disk designed for your SCSI card, plus put 'insmod' and the required network modules on another floppy to load before running setup. The README files in the ../modules directory explain this process in detail. ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1.44 megabyte (3.5") bootdisks for installation. path: /bootdsks.144/ ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.44 MB LINUX BOOTDISKS To install Linux, you'll need a bootdisk and a rootdisk.

If you have additional equipment, look for the disk that supports it. Name Additional driver support ---- ------------------------- aztech.bat CD-ROM drives: Aztech CDA268-01A, Orchid CD-3110, Okano/Wearnes CDD110, Conrad TXC, CyCDROM CR520, CR540. bare.bat This is the disk to use for installation on most IDE based PCs. It includes support for IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Most CD-ROM drives made today fall into this catagory. bareapm.bat This disk is the same as the bare.i image, with the addition of Advanced Power Management support. This is usually used on laptops to check the battery level, or to put the machine in standby or sleep mode. On machines that aren't laptops, it can cause booting problems. This is the correct disk to use for a PCMCIA install. cdu31a.bat Sony CDU31/33a CD-ROM. cdu535.bat Sony CDU531/535 CD-ROM. cm206.bat Philips/LMS cm206 CD-ROM with cm260 adapter card. goldstar.bat Goldstar R420 CD-ROM (sometimes sold in a 'Reveal Multimedia Kit'). isp16.bat Supports ISP16/MAD16/Mozart CD-ROM drives. Boot time command line options (or 'append=' options in /etc/lilo.conf) are: isp16=,,, Valid values for drive_type include: Sanyo, Panasonic (same as Sanyo), Sony and Mitsumi. Default values are: port=0x340, irq=0, dma=0, drive_type=Sanyo. lowmem.bat This is a really stripped-down Linux kernel which might be useful for installing on IDE systems with a low amount of RAM (less than 8MB). If bare.i runs into problems, you might try this. NOTE: On systems with extremely low memory (4MB), ZipSlack plus the fourmeg.zip add-on (found in the zipslack directory) may boot and run even in cases where lowmem.i doesn't. mcd.bat NON-IDE Mitsumi CD-ROM support. mcdx.bat Improved NON-IDE Mitsumi CD-ROM support. net.bat An IDE/ATAPI bootdisk with Ethernet support. Use this for installing over a network to an IDE hard drive. NOTE: net.i, while a nice shortcut if it works, does not work on every machine, nor does it include every Linux network driver. Because of the large number of devices it looks for, it can hang the machine or cause other problems if it misidentifies something. This is an unavoidable risk when probing for hardware on the PC platform. If you run into problems with net.i (or it doesn't see your network card), don't panic, just use a disk with less drivers.

For example, if you want to use a parallel port on 0x378, IRQ 7, you would use this command on the bootdisk's 'boot:' prompt: ramdisk parport=0x378,7 You may also use this command to make the driver autodetect your port and IRQ: ramdisk parport=auto no_kbd.bat This version of bare.i is a workaround for a problem: Some newer P2/Celeron systems have been known to reboot themselves as the kernel is starting up. This seems to happen as the keyboard LEDs are reset. The no_kbd.i does not reset the keyboard LEDs, and will boot correctly on most machines with this symptom. A BIOS upgrade from the motherboard manufacturer may fix the problem. no_pci.bat If you're having problems with a hang during PCI probing, try this IDE-supporting bootdisk without PCI BIOS support. Some old PCI motherboards have BIOS bugs and may crash if "PCI bios support" is enabled, but they run fine without this option. In many cases the BIOS can be fixed with a flash update from the motherboard manufacturer's web site. optics.bat Optics Storage 8000 AT CD-ROM (the 'DOLPHIN' drive). pportide.bat This is an extended version of bare.i will support for a wide variety of parallel-port IDE devices. Supports parallel-port products from MicroSolutions, Hewlett-Packard, SyQuest, Imation, Avatar, and other manufacturers. sanyo.bat Sanyo CDR-H94A CD-ROM support. sbpcd.bat Matsushita, Kotobuki, Panasonic, CreativeLabs (Sound Blaster), Longshine and Teac NON-IDE CD-ROM support. IMPORTANT! I can't possibly stress enough that this disk is *not* for IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives, which include nearly all of the drives made by these manufacturers recently. For IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives, use bare.i. smp.bat This disk is the same as the generic bare.i bootdisk, but adds support for motherboards with multiple CPUs. (symmetric multiprocessing, or SMP) xt.bat MFM (very very old) hard drive support. ----------------------------------------------------------- If your system has a SCSI controller, you'll need to use one path: /bootdsks.144/scsi-bat/ ----------------------------------------------------------- Slackware SCSI bootdisks ------------------------ This directory contains a collection of batch files used to create Slackware bootdisks.

Name Additional driver support ---- ------------------------- 7000fast.bat Western Digital 7000FASST SCSI support. advansys.bat This bootdisk supports all AdvanSys SCSI controllers, including some SCSI cards included with HP CD-R/RW drives, the Iomega Jaz Jet SCSI controller, and the SCSI controller on the Iomega Buz multimedia adapter. aha152x.bat Adaptec 152x SCSI support. This supports the AHA-1510, AHA-1520, AHA-1522, and AHA-2825 SCSI host adapters. aha1542.bat Adaptec 1542 SCSI support. aha1740.bat Adaptec 1740 SCSI support. aic7xxx.bat Adaptec AIC7xxx SCSI support. These include the 274x EISA cards, 284x VLB cards, 294x PCI cards, 394x PCI cards, 3985 PCI card, and several versions of the Adaptec built-in SCSI controllers on various PC motherboards. am53c974.bat AM53/79C974 SCSI support. buslogic.bat This supports BusLogic MultiMaster and FlashPoint SCSI controllers. dtc3280.bat DTC (Data Technology Corp) 3180/3280 SCSI support. eata_dma.bat DPT EATA-DMA SCSI support. (Boards such as PM2011, PM2021, PM2041, PM3021, PM2012B, PM2022, PM2122, PM2322, PM2042, PM3122, PM3222, PM3332, PM2024, PM2124, PM2044, PM2144, PM3224, PM3334.) eata_isa.bat DPT EATA-ISA/EISA SCSI support. (Boards such as PM2011B/9X, PM2021A/9X, PM2012A, PM2012B, PM2022A/9X, PM2122A/9X, PM2322A/9X) eata_pio.bat DPT EATA-PIO SCSI support. (PM2001 and PM2012A) fdomain.bat This supports Future Domain's 16-bit SCSI host adapters (TMC-1660/1680, TMC-1650/1670, TMC-3260, TMC-1610M/MER/MEX) and other adapters based on the Future Domain chipsets (Quantum ISA-200S, ISA-250MG; Adaptec AHA-2920; and at least one IBM board). gdt.bat This is a bootdisk for all SCSI Disk Array Controllers (EISA/ISA/PCI) manufactured by ICP Vortex. ibmmca.bat This is a bootdisk based on a development kernel which supports MicroChannel Architecture, found in some IBM PS/2 machines and laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. Support for most MCA SCSI, Ethernet, and Token Ring adapters is included. in2000.bat Always IN2000 SCSI support. iomega.bat IOMEGA parallel port SCSI support. This supports the parallel-port Zip drives as a Linux SCSI device. This disk supports the older PPA parallel Zip drives. n53c406a.bat NCR 53c406a SCSI support. n_5380.bat NCR 5380 and 53c400 SCSI support. This is the generic NCR family of SCSI controllers, not to be confused with the NCR 53c7 or 8xx controllers. An example of a controller that uses the NCR53c400 chip is the Trantor T130B. n_53c7xx.bat NCR 53c7xx, 53c8xx SCSI support. (Most NCR PCI SCSI controllers use this driver, or the driver below) n_53c8xx.bat This is the FreeBSD NCR driver adapted to Linux for the NCR53C8XX family of PCI-SCSI controllers. This driver supports parity checking, tagged command queuing, fast SCSI II transfer up to 10 MB/s with narrow SCSI devices and 20 MB/s with wide scsi devices. It also supports Ultra SCSI data transfers with NCR53C860 and NCR53C875 controllers. The following Symbios/NCR chipsets are supported by the driver in this bootdisk: 810 810A 815 825 825A 860 875 876 895 896 no_kbd.bat This version of scsi.s is a workaround for a problem: Some newer P2/Celeron systems have been known to reboot themselves as the kernel is starting up. This seems to happen as the keyboard LEDs are reset. The no_kbd.s does not reset the keyboard LEDs, and will boot correctly on most machines with this symptom.

Some old PCI motherboards have BIOS bugs and may crash if "PCI bios support" is enabled, but they run fine without this option. In many cases the BIOS can be fixed with a flash update from the motherboard manufacturer's web site. old_cd.bat This disk is provided in the unlikely event that someone needs to install from an old CD-ROM drive on a proprietary (*not* SCSI or IDE/ATAPI) interface to a hard drive on a SCSI controller. This disk supports most Linux supported SCSI controllers, plus the CD-ROM drives supported by these bootdisks: aztech.i, cdu31a.i, cdu535.i, cm206.i, goldstar.i, isp16.i, mcd.i, mcdx.i, optics.i, sanyo.i, and sbpcd.i. pas16.bat Pro Audio Spectrum/Studio 16 SCSI support. qlog_fas.bat ISA/VLB/PCMCIA Qlogic FastSCSI! support. (also supports the Control Concepts SCSI cards based on the Qlogic FASXXX chip) qlog_isp.bat Supports all Qlogic PCI SCSI controllers, except the PCI-basic, which is supported by the AMD SCSI driver found on the am53c974.s bootdisk. scsi.bat A generic SCSI bootdisk, with support for most SCSI controllers that work under Linux. (NOTE: This disk wastes a lot of memory, since it contains nearly *all* of the SCSI drivers. If you know which SCSI controller your system has, it's *far* better to use the disk designed especially for it.

The kernel also supports Adaptec aic7xxx SCSI cards, multiple CPUs, and the SGI DBE video frame buffer graphics console. smp.bat This disk is the same as the generic scsi.s bootdisk, but adds support for motherboards with multiple CPUs. (symmetric multiprocessing, or SMP) tekram.bat This bootdisk supports the Tekram DC390(T) PCI SCSI Hostadapter with the Am53C974A chip, and perhaps other cards using the same chip. It does _not_ support the DC390W/U/F adaptor with the NCR/Symbios chips -- for those cards, use the n_53c8xx.s bootdisk. trantor.bat Trantor T128/T128F/T228 SCSI support. ultrastr.bat UltraStor 14F, 24F, and 34F SCSI support. ustor14f.bat UltraStor 14F and 34F SCSI support. ----------------------------------------------------------- A list of the files in each installable software package. path:

You use a bootdisk to load it into your system and begin the installation. You'll probably want to use either the color or the umsdos disk to install Linux depending on whether you'll be installing it in its own partition. README.TXT Detailed descriptions of the root disk images. Now, choose one of the boot disk images below. Hitting ENTER will create a boot disk in drive A: color.bat This is the default Slackware installation disk, used to install Slackware Linux to its own partition. The name color.gz comes from the color menus used to install Slackware. This is the installation disk most people should use. NOTE: The 'dialog' program used by the install system is not forgiving of extra keystrokes entered between screens, so type carefully. umsdos.bat This is similar to the color.gz disk, but installs using UMSDOS, a system that allows you to install Slackware into a directory on an existing MS-DOS partition. This isn't as fast as using a native Linux filesystem, and can use more drive space because of limitations in the way DOS stores small files. The big advantage of using UMSDOS is that you can try Slackware without repartitioning your hard drive. This is much easier for the beginner, and a lot less potentially dangerous to your system. [NOTE: If you want to use UMSDOS, you might want to consider using the ZipSlack installation found in the /zipslack directory. This is a little easier way to get started -- just unzip a file on your FAT or FAT32 partition to install Linux. ] pcmcia.bat This is a version of the color.gz rootdisk with added support for PCMCIA cards. You should use this disk to install to a laptop through the network using NFS, or from a drive connected through a PCMCIA card. [NOTE: at this time there is no support for actually installing onto a PCMCIA device] text.bat A rootdisk that uses text-based install scripts. This is preferred by some people, but may not have as many features as the color.gz, umsdos.gz, or pcmcia.gz rootdisks. One advantage is that you can back up to look at error messages using Shift-PageUp. Another useful feature is the ability to install using a serial console with this command on the bootdisk's 'boot:' prompt: ramdisk console=ttyS0 There's also this non-installation rootdisk: rescue.bat This is a rescue disk for Linux. It is a reasonably complete mini-Linux system running from a four megabyte ramdisk. It contains an editor (vi), lilo, and other utilities useful for fixing your Linux machine if you ever get locked out for some reason. It includes basic TCP/IP utilities such as ping, telnet, and ftp. ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a basic Linux installation supplied as a .ZIP archive path: /zipslack/ ----------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES.TXT A timeline of changes to ZipSlack.
