Just the 2 main ISO files...?

That's all you'll need -- disc 1 and 2 -- for installing Slackware. The 3rd and 4th discs are the source files, and you'll most likely never need them.
You have some posts concerning your
checking out Slackware that I've read. Almost replied a time or two, but someone else did as good a job or better, so I left it alone. If you will go back and read what ringwraith told you
here I think that was the best advice, and best summation of Slackware, anyone could give.
Slackware is the oldest running Linux distribution, the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution out there, and Slackware complies with the published Linux standards, such as the Linux File System Standard. Because of this, you'll find more Slack users and help than probably any other distribution. The community is large and knowledgeable.
I began with RedHat and didn't like it -- but won't put it down. I then ran Debian for a short while, but left if for Slackware when I couldn't get KDE for SID. For the last 15 months or so I've been running Slackware. I've learned more about my computer in that time than the previous decade plus with Windoze.
If you use
Google <Linux> and the Slackware forums here, you'll be okay.
As others have told you, just ask, and I'll be glad to help...
