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:
