Note that for space reasons, the KDEI (KDE i18n) series could not be
included on this ISO, and I apologize for the inconvenience.  If you need
KDE translations, you can pick them up here:

  ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.1/slackware/kdei/

Other things that aren't on this disc that you might need to pick up
"a la carte" include the boot floppy images and rootdisks (if you can boot
this CD-ROM, you won't need these), ZipSlack, and the source code.  All
of these extras are available from our FTP site:

  ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.1/

Or, pick up the official 4 CD-ROM Slackware disc set here:

Enjoy!
