How many CDs are Slackware 8.1?
Distrowatch says 4, but I can only find one .iso, which is an install, on ftps for Slackware 8.1. I'm obviously missing something.

They are probably going by the commercial boxed set you can buy. But Slackware you only need the first cd to install and use. The second cd I believe is an extra's cd, the third is a source code cd and the 4th is a bonus Essentials cd.
