Certainly. All 4 disks of it. And he is also a seasoned Multics user. Did I 
mention that he is also lying like a Snit?

Feel free to build yourself some Kraut Timën Machînën, go back in time

No need. You have never told the truth. Nobody who *really* attempted a 
Slackware install in 1995 would have forgotten that the disk set was *67* 
disks, not 4 as you "remembered

You lied as usual, you rarely if ever tell the truth. Like your mentor Snit 
Michael Glasser. You are, like him, a worthless POS

Didn't he say he was 36 or 39 or something? So what's that, 1977 ~ 1980?

I had 4 and as far as I know, it was a base install.

However, I thank you in advance for giving me YET ANOTHER opportunity
to school your stupid ass:

<http://www.slackware.com/install/rootdisk.php>

So you need a boot disk (1), a root disk (2) and then two install
disks for a total of 4. You can recount that if you want, I'll give
you an hour.

Once again, I had to teach your idiotic German klöwn ass something.

My Slackware 3.0 came on CDROM.  My system would not boot from CDROM.
Needed to create boot and root floppies, but the full system installed
from CDROM.  I remember this specifically because I called Volkerding
on the phone to describe a problem I was having with one of the CDs,
and he sent me a new one Priority Mail.  I thought it was cool that
he did that, because the replacement shipping cost probably erased any
profit he had from the original sale of the boxed set.

Yes, the first version on CD was in 1995, version 3.0
It came out late 1995, november or december if I recall correctly

Up to then it was on 67 floppy disks. Even the very first release already 
had 24 disks

I remember a clusterfuck from around that time trying to create a bunch
of Win 95 floppies.

For the _full_ distribution with all of the package source codes. Did
it ever occur to you that I _didn't_ release all of the packages?

However, it was possible to install Linux without _all_ of the
packages from a set of floppy disks. I actually doubted myself when
Peter the Klöwn brought up that it was impossible for it to have been
less than 67 disks but the early versions of Slackware could indeed be
installed without the need for the whole thing. I couldn't do much
without all of those extra packages, clearly, but it was still
installed on the hard disk.

No, it is not. With just 4 floppy disks you get the kernel and a CLI. That's 
it. Most of the tools are missing. You can't do anything with the system 
because no programs are present. You have no network. No printer. No nothing

And *that* is a system you set up to see if linux is for you? Pull the other 
one, lying imbecile

At the time, I wasn't looking to replace Windows 95 necessarily, I was
just curious to see what Linux was like. I had already had some
exposure to the CLI through shell Internet accounts and wondered
whether such a system was available to me, especially for free. Either
way, Linux _was_ installed and I think that even you are realizing
that. Whether minimal or full, it was Linux and it was on my hard disk.

I realize that you are lying. And you are *really* bad at it. You can't even 
get a coherent story.

If someone is going to look what another OS looks like (maybe as replacement 
for that absolutely shitty Win95), it makes absolutely no sense to install 
just as much to get to a prompt *without* anything else to do with it.
Why not install the rest of the OS to see what it is about? After all, *if* 
your story were true (it is an outright lie) you would already have passed 
the most difficult steps and just needed to add the rest to see what it is 
about

You are lying like a Snit. And every bit as obvious as that lying imbecile

Except that you would have to admit that the Linux kernel is not an
operating system in itself and that the other set of applications is
necessary for it to become one. Meanwhile, the technical definition of
kernel means that it is an operating system on its own. Hence, if the
Linux kernel was installed on the computer (it was) then the operating
system was exactly where I said it was and there was no lie whatsoever.

Don't forget that you also claimed that my belief that AAC is a common
desktop codec was a lie and claimed that I lied when I said that
openSUSE warns against Steam in its operating system because it is an
Ubuntu package. I proved you wrong in both cases (because you are an
effing moron) and showed that you, Peter the Klöwn, were the liar. You
are the last person who can comment on what is truthful and what isn't.

And I have never claimed anything else, lying lunatic POS

*You* are the one who is telling lie after lie after lie

And you are so abjectly stupid that you can't even get a simple lie to work. 
Your idiocy about "installing linux" is *way* beyond your capabilities

You are too damn stupid to install MSDOS
