I'm using the mirrors.slackware.com:/slackware/slackware-3.0> site but file won't open or I get permission deny

I do not see a mirrors.slackware.com on the official Slackware mirror list.

I checked a few random mirrors. V. 3.0 may be hard to find. Many do not go back further than v. 10. A few had v. 3.3. The University of Utah has v. 3.

ftp://slackware.cs.utah.edu/slackware/slackware-3.0/

Just for curiosity, why are you looking for v.3.0?

I found the book Linux Unleased second edition at a Goodwill Store

Wow! That's way before my Linux time!

Let us know what happens if you give it a whirl. I'd suggest trying it in a VM, though, and not on bare metal.

I was able to figure out how to ftp the files and burn them to a cd -r and I've made the bootdsks and rootdks used to boot my machine I have setup my hard drive partition using linux fdisk. I login as root and run the setup but sometimes my cdrom won't auto detect in the setup won't allow me to mount it and I can't view my files and I when it dose mount I get a warning NM Unsupported tag 2 when I cd/ to base A1 diskset. how can I get my cdrom to read

i hope you have a 10 year old ( or OLDER like 13 years old) computer to try to put a 10 year old and out of date OS on

think of the 2004 Slackware as " windows98 "
and imagine trying to install win98 on a 64 bit NEW computer
---that will not work ---

The machine I'm using is a Dell it has Intel pentium II 256MB ram 687MHZ 20GB hard Disk do you think this will work

i was thinking along the line of a XP computer from 2001 to 2003
a Intel P4 with 256 to 512 meg ram

a win98 era pII ? might work
it will be a bit slow.

you might want to use a new machine and use the current KVM
and run slak 3 in the VM

"plan9 from bell labs" runs in KVM
