    ######  IMPORTANT!  READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY.  ######

    - You will need one or more partitions of type 'Linux native' prepared.  It is
      also recommended that you create a swap partition (type 'Linux swap') prior
      to installation.  For more information, run 'setup' and read the help file.

    - If you're having problems that you think might be related to low memory (this
      is possible on machines with 8 or less megabytes of system memory), you can
      try activating a swap partition before you run setup.  After making a swap
      partition (type 82) with cfdisk or fdisk, activate it like this:
        mkswap /dev/<partition> ; swapon /dev/<partition>

    - Once you have prepared the disk partitions for Linux, type 'setup' to begin
      the installation process.

    You may now login as 'root'.

    slackware login:  root

    Linux 2.4.0-test7-1um.

    If you're upgrading an existing Slackware system, you might want to
    remove old packages before you run 'setup' to install the new ones. If
    you don't, your system will still work but there might be some old files
    left laying around on your drive.

    Just mount your Linux partitions under /mnt and type 'pkgtool'. If you
    don't know how to mount your partitions, type 'pkgtool' and it will tell
    you how it's done.

    To partition your hard drive(s), use 'cfdisk' or 'fdisk'.
    To activate PCMCIA/Cardbus devices needed for installation, type 'pcmcia'.
    To activate network devices needed for installation, type 'network'.
    To start the main installation, type 'setup'.

    Welcome to Slackware Linux Setup (v. 7.0.0-text)

    Linux supports many different keyboard configurations. If you are not
    using a US keyboard, you will probably want to remap your keyboard.

    Would you like to remap your keyboard?

    1 - yes
    2 - no

    Your choice (1/2)?  2

    You have not created a swap partition with Linux fdisk.
    Do you want to continue without a swapfile ([y]es, [n]o)?  y

    The following partition is available for Linux:

       Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
    /dev/hdb1             1     25600  52428784   83  Linux native

    If this is the root partition of an existing Linux system, you
    may add more software to the existing system, or you may
    reformat the partition and install from scratch.

    Would you like to [a]dd more software, or [i]nstall from scratch?  i

    Since you've chosen to install Linux from scratch, we want to be
    sure you know how to proceed, and we also want to give you one last
    chance to change your mind. When using this option, you must install
    to a blank partition. If you have not already formatted it manually
    then you must format it when prompted.

    Enter [i] again to install from scratch, or [a] to add
    software to your existing system.

    Install fresh, or add software to your current system? ([i]nstall, [a]dd)?  i

    If this partition has not been formatted, you should format it.

    Would you like to format this partition ([y]es, [n]o, [c]heck sectors too)?  n

    Mounting your new root partition:
    Root partition mounted.

    SOURCE MEDIA SELECTION

    1 -- Install from a hard drive partition.
    2 -- Install from floppy disks.
    3 -- Install via NFS.
    4 -- Install from a pre-mounted directory.
    5 -- Install from CD-ROM.

    From which source will you be installing Linux (1/2/3/4/5)?  5

    INSTALLING FROM SLACKWARE CD-ROM

    What type of CD-ROM drive do you have?

    1  -- Works with most ATAPI/IDE CD drives (/dev/hd*)
    2  -- SCSI (/dev/scd0 or /dev/scd1)
    3  -- Sony CDU31A/CDU33A (/dev/sonycd)
    4  -- Sony 531/535 (/dev/cdu535)
    5  -- Mitsumi (proprietary interface, not IDE) (/dev/mcd)
    6  -- New Mitsumi (also not IDE) (/dev/mcdx0)
    7  -- Sound Blaster Pro/Panasonic (/dev/sbpcd)
    8  -- Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes (/dev/aztcd)
    9  -- Phillips and some ProAudioSpectrum16 (/dev/cm206cd)
    10 -- Goldstar R420 (/dev/gscd)
    11 -- Optics Storage 8000 (/dev/optcd)
    12 -- Sanyo CDR-H94 + ISP16 soundcard (/dev/sjcd)
    13 -- Try to scan for your CD drive

    CD-ROM type (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8)?  1

    SELECT IDE DEVICE

    Enter the device name that represents your IDE CD-ROM drive.
    This will probably be one of these (in the order of most to least
    likely):  /dev/hdb /dev/hdc /dev/hdd /dev/hde /dev/hdf /dev/hdg
    /dev/hdh /dev/hda

    Enter device name:  /dev/ubd2

    CHOOSE YOUR INSTALLATION METHOD

    With Slackware, you can run most of the system from the CD-ROM if you're
    short of drive space or if you just want to test Linux without going
    through a complete installation.

    slakware   Normal installation to hard drive
    slaktest   Link /usr->/cdrom/live/usr to run mostly from CD-ROM

    Which type of installation do you want (slakware or slaktest)?  slakware

    SERIES SELECTION:
    These series of packages (and possibly more) are available:
          A   - Base Linux system
          AP  - Various applications that do not need X
          D   - Program Development (C, C++, Kernel source, Lisp, Perl, etc.)
          DES - crypt() add-on
          E   - GNU Emacs
          F   - FAQ lists
          GTK - GTK+ apps and libs (including GNOME)
          K   - Linux kernel source
          KDE - Qt and KDE (the K Desktop Environment)
          N   - Networking (TCP/IP, UUCP, Mail)
          T   - TeX
          TCL - Tcl/Tk/TclX, Tcl language, and Tk toolkit for developing X apps
          X   - XFree86 Base X Window System
          XAP - X Window Applications
          XD  - XFree86 X11 server development system
          XV  - XView (OpenLook [virtual] Window Manager, apps)
          Y   - Games (that do not require X)
    Specify which software series you wish to install on the prompt below.  For
    example, to install the base system, X, and KDE, you'd enter: a kde x
    To install all of the available catagories, just hit enter here.
    Which software sets do you want to install?  a ap

    SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

    Next, software packages are going to be transfered on to your hard drive.
    If you use PROMPT mode, required packages are installed automatically, but
    you'll be asked if you want other packages before they are installed.  If you
    have enough hard drive space reserved, it's much faster to NOT use PROMPT mode.
    When you don't use PROMPT mode, the install program automatically installs
    everything from the software series you have selected.

    The package defaults are user definable -- you may set any package to be added
    or skipped automatically by editing your choices into a file called TAGFILE
    that will be found on the first disk of each series. There will also be a
    copy of the original tagfile called TAGFILE.ORG available in case you want
    to restore the default settings. The tagfile contains all the instructions
    needed to completely automate your installation.

    NOTE: Software may be added to your system after the initial installation.
    A copy of setup will be placed in your /sbin directory. Just type 'setup' to
    add software to your system. Another script, PKGTOOL, may be used to add
    software packages from the current directory, or to cleanly remove packages
    that you want uninstalled.

    Do you want to use (slow) PROMPT mode (y/n)? n

    PROMPT mode not selected.

    zsh:      globbing, features to make C-shell (csh) users feel more at home and
    zsh:      extra features drawn from tcsh (another 'custom' shell).  Zsh was

    INSTALLING A LINUX KERNEL

    Now you should verify that a Linux kernel is installed to your new Linux
    system.  If you've already installed a generic Linux kernel from the A series,
    then you can skip this step.  Be advised, however, that your best option is
    probably to install the kernel from your installation bootdisk.  If it got
    you this far without problems, you know it will work.  If additional driver
    support is required after installation, it can be added in the form of loadable
    kernel modules by editing your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file.

    1 - Install the kernel from the installation bootdisk.
    2 - Install a ZIMAGE, BZIMAGE, or VMLINUZ kernel image from an MS-DOS
        formatted floppy disk.
    3 - Install a kernel from the Slackware CD-ROM.
    4 - Skip this step -- do not install a Linux kernel.  (NOTE: A Linux kernel
        must have already been installed, or you'll have to use your installation
        bootdisk or LOADLIN to start your system)

    Which option would you like (1/2/3/4)?  4

    It is recommended that you make a boot disk.

    MODEM/MOUSE CONFIGURATION

    Modem Setup:

    A link in /dev will be created from your callout device (ttyS0, ttyS1,
    ttyS2, ttyS3) to /dev/modem. You can change this link later if you put
    your modem on a different port.

    Would you like to set up your modem ([y]es, [n]o)?  n

    Mouse Setup:

    A link will be created in /dev from your mouse device to /dev/mouse.
    You can change this link later if you switch to a different type of
    mouse.

    Would you like to set up your mouse ([y]es, [n]o)?  n

    Do you have a CD-ROM ([y]es, [n]o)?  n

    LILO INSTALLATION

    LILO (the Linux Loader) is the program that allows booting Linux directly from
    the hard drive. To install, you make a new LILO configuration file by creating
    a new header and then adding at least one bootable partition to the file. Once
    you've done this, you can select the install option. Alternately, if you
    already have an /etc/lilo.conf, you may reinstall using that. If you make a
    mistake, just select (1) to start over.

    1 -- Start LILO configuration with a new LILO header
    2 -- Add a Linux partition to the LILO config file
    3 -- Add an OS/2 partition to the LILO config file
    4 -- Add a DOS partition to the LILO config file
    5 -- Install LILO
    6 -- Reinstall LILO using the existing lilo.conf
    7 -- Skip LILO installation and exit this menu
    8 -- View your current /etc/lilo.conf
    9 -- Read the Linux Loader HELP file

    Which option would you like (1 - 9)?  7

    Configuration of 'gpm':

    "gpm" is a program that allows you to do cut and paste on the
    virtual consoles using a mouse. If you choose to have it run at boot
    time, the line "gpm -m /dev/mouse -t none " will be added to
    your /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm.

    Running gpm with a bus mouse can cause problems with XFree86.
    If XFree86 refuses to start and complains that it cannot open the
    mouse then you might want to comment the line out of /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm.

    Would you like to add "gpm -m /dev/mouse -t none " to /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm
    so that gpm will load at boot time ([y]es, [n]o)?  n

    Would you like to configure your timezone ([y]es, [n]o)?  n

    WARNING: NO ROOT PASSWORD DETECTED

    There is currently no password set on the system administrator account
    (root).  It is recommended that you set one now so that it is active the
    first time the machine is rebooted.  This is especially important if
    you're using a network enabled kernel and the machine is on an Internet
    connected LAN.

    Would you like to set a root password (y[es]/n[o])?  y

    Changing password for root
    Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 127 characters)
    Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
    New password:
    Bad password: too short.
    Warning: weak password (enter it again to use it anyway).
    New password:
    Re-enter new password:
    Password changed.

    Press [enter] to continue:

    Linux installation is complete.

    You may now reboot your computer by pressing control+alt+delete.

    If you installed LILO, remove the boot disk from your computer
    before rebooting.
