Installing slack from floppies

clum · 11-13-2003, 09:28 PM

Hi - I would like to install Slackware on a very old system which doesn't have a CD drive. I only need bash and a couple of other tools, so I figured that I can install from floppies, which the "choose package" install help web page claims is possible. How would I go about doing this? (BTW - I know how to install from CD - in fact I'm using a Slackware system which I installed right now, I just need to know what to put on floppies and how I tell the install program to install from floppies.

Thank you.

use the floppys as base and then get the rest out of the net via ftp install instead of cdrom source should work as i dont think the floppies alone are a basic system
