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.

Like your mentor Snit > Michael Glasser. You are, like him, a worthless POS 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

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. - -- Silver Slimer Islam is a disease Gab.AI: @silverslimer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJX/pDpAAoJEIwFfgf/rr+uhSgH/3Q6NXvPeF9y2NVZ40hRmAIt KokU93daorWOGfE9CpeA9HmKTf4VwdU1sCYQz4QVJBbUXPzA6W0d1wVJGMoCY+hF QwWK7940hYkKuWKmUDARNzVHvu1R3m03oPKTLVm0dMsK+55BFRrpxYH+EE0M5GSh hEXqP2UA7nooS4ydQa/qt956Xz29SmObHj8K5mWDAWBDrwIHsu9rRaJHSlfDaHyU FZVk2CZS3sr/W8IHkNoZI30QgsbEGvPIf9n99coW6LS81VUP28sgKTz5n97v46Zm UdRhhj+eSuSiq2SDO+GMjJztbmprMOHtMAda5Xr4zLlGQ7pRpFVzgTdxvJne48o= =7zy2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

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

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?

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.
