Welcome to Slackware 10.2!
Slackware 10.2 is a complete distribution of the Linux operating system.
This version contains the 2.4.31 Linux kernel, plus recent versions of these
(and many more) software packages:
- C compiler gcc-3.3.6 and gcc-3.4.4
- Binutils 2.15.92.0.2
- GNU C Library glibc-2.3.5
- X Window System X11R6.8.2 from X.Org.
- KDE 3.4.2
- Xfce 4.2.2
For installation instructions, see the file 'Slackware-HOWTO'.
These are some of the important files and directories found on the Slackware
FTP site:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/
If you're reading this on a CD-ROM, these directories will probably be
split across several discs.

| | Slackware from a CD-ROM. You'll also find the
| | PCMCIA and network images (these can be loaded
| | from the installation CD-ROM), and a README.TXT
| | describing how to create a Slackware installation
| | ISO image and burn it to CD-R.
| |
| |-- README.TXT How to burn a Bootable Slackware CD-ROM.
| |-- initrd.img Installation initrd (can also be loaded with Loadlin)
| |-- network.dsk Image containing network modules.
| `-- pcmcia.dsk Image containing PCMCIA modules.

| | be useful for getting Slackware installed on some
| | hardware that's not supported by the 2.4.31 kernel.
| | If you do decide to use this, you may want to then
| | go to ftp.kernel.org and grab the latest 2.6 kernel,
| | as the 2.6 kernel series is under heavy development.
| | At the very least you'll want to install the
| | kernel modules packages (alsa-driver and

| FAT32 partition, or Zip disk. It does not come
| with X, but is otherwise fairly complete, including
| many networking tools. The package management tools
| allow you to add as much extra software as you need
| (such as X) once you boot the system. For more
| information, see the README.1st file.
