Slackware + CDs
 

Hello, heh this is my first post just wanted to say hi but umm.. thats actually not the real reason why i'm posting I will explain below:

Well, my computer is not the best and I don't have a CD burner and I want to get Linux Slackware setup on my computer i'm a linux newbie, Yeah but the problem is.
That I don't have a CD Burner thus the conclusion is I cannot burn the slackware CDs what I am pretty much trying to ask is if anyone could send me the slackware Cds through the mail I would really appreciate it. Well your probally thinking "well whats in it for me huh why should I help this punk newbie" well the truth is there is nothing in it for you it must be out of the kindness of your linuxian heart :P

Anway if your ready to do me the favor
Please email me at
garmaise@colba.net
and I will send you my home adress

Thanks, a bunch

Yeah, but well my family kinda poor :P and I'm 14 not old enough to work so I can eliminate the CD Burner unless you plan on making a hearty donation rofl

and umm.. I sure dont feel like putting slackware and 25000 differnt diskettz
And now Windows is pissing me off again argh...
Thanks, but I really rather someone sending it to me
it was nice of you to awnser thow :)

well like his link provided above, slackware 9 is only 7 bucks at linux central.. not bad really imho...

Yes, but I don't have a credit card and there is no chance in hell my evil muth0r will put her credit card on the net trust me ive tried...
:/

Oh, I forgot I do have the Debian CD's the newest version but it's kind of complicated to installl and I just want somthing to begin with get in my computer over and done with...

Where do you live? and its not 25000 diskettz..its about 14 if I remember correctly. Do you have broadband connection? if you do thn you can install redhat off the internet..not sure about slackware.

Yeah, I have DSL
And oh you can install redhat off the net
How?!

I live in Montreal,Qubec,Canada

Some distros have images of their cds available for downloading.
What I did was install Zipslack(http://www.slackware.com/zipslack/) and use it to install the rest of the stuff on my image.

Hmm, intresting ill take a look at it and tell you the results.

Well, ive got my mom who has a burner to let me download the RedHat v9.0 ISO's on her computer wich is really rare!

I wish to Thank all of you who reply'd and ill click your Affero links :)

But hey if you still feel like sending me the CD's I still wouldn't mind

Again thanks a bunch !!

Just in case you're still looking for a way to install
of the iso ;)

Cheers,

P.S.: Asking that question in the Slack-forum
might have given you that result aster ;)

good to hear that you got it. You can afford $45/month DSL and cant afford to buy a cdwriter/linux cd's? ...hmm. Anyway, redhat 9.0 is great!

That's a matter of taste mate :)

I find it disgusting ;)

Cheers,
Tink

hmmmmmm..I find slackware disgusting haha! jk. I know its a matter of taste..I meant its easier for newbies (like me)
