In numerous Linux Distribution, I have always liked Slackware this ancient stuff. Simple, simple, easy to install, very suitable for me like simple, unwilling to have your own hard drive, is a lazy person who will always use something that may never use. See the Slackware website released 10.1 new version, download a ISO, choose BT download, speed is still good.
But there is no burner in your hand, just trouble, from the hard disk installed.
Before preparing to work, open the ISO file, extract the loadlin.exe file from the inside, and then extract the kernel from the kernel2.4.29-ide.tgz package in the SLACKWARE / A directory (that is, VM ...), which is called Bzimage Finally, finally decompress the init.img file from the TGZ file of Loadlin. Put these three files in a directory. For example D: / loadlin
Started installed. Guide the system, enter DOS. If you are Win2000 or XP, start with the DOS boot disk. Then execute it in the D: / Loadlin directory
Loadlin Bzimage RW root = / dev / ram initd = init.img loading_ramdisk = 1
You can see that Linux is already started normally. Then log in with the root user and put the ISO file mount.
MKDIR / Install
Mount -t vfat / dev / hda2 / mnt (here you want to see which partition you put the ISO file, as well as the type of partition)
Mount -o loop / mnt/slackware.iso / install (out of the ISO file MOUNT)
Then execute Setup. When choosing the installation media, select the pre-mount option, type / install / slackware, is the ISO file you just got on Mount. The following content is very familiar, even Newbie can also look at the prompt. It is worth noting that when choosing the installation type, it is best to choose the MENU mode to select the installation package, which will be much more convenient.
BTW, the first installation disk of Slackware is without KDE and GNOME, if you need, you can download it. But I am not used, I use XFCE, there is in the first plate, it is light and simple, I suggest you try. Think about it really needs KDE as a cumbersome environment.
