Problems of downloading Slackware 9.1

whitefox · 12-29-2003, 10:40 PM

I was attempting to download Slackware 9.1.

Firstly, i was wondering how many discs of Slackware 9.1? I know traditionally slackware has only one disc. On some sites i found 9.1 has 2 discs but on other sites it is 4 discs. Which should i download?

Anywar, I could not download those CD image files.
Could anyone tell me where there is downloadable slackware 9.1?

Thanks.

http://www.slackware.com/getslack and choose a mirror. From the same site:

Slackware 9.1 Installation ISO (disc 1)
Slackware 9.1 Installation ISO (disc 2, GNOME/KDE/KDEI, /extra, /testing, live rescue disc)
Slackware 9.1 ISO disc 3 (Sources part 1, Slackware book)
Slackware 9.1 ISO disc 4 (Sources part 2, ZipSlack, /pasture)

All you really need for an install is the first one unless you want GNOME/KDE.

I have that URL, and i actually have tried some of them. It seems some of the sites on the list do not have those images, while those who have the images cannot download...

anyway, I will keep on trying the other sites on the list.

And, thank for explaining the content of thos discs.

No problem. Good luck. I find that http://www.slackware.at is pretty fast, but might be different for you.

All your iso download needs.

Hey guys, that was helpful. Thanks you guys.

by the way, do you know any software that can burn iso file onto a CD?
as i know, it cannot be done by simple copy&paste, right?

nero. You can download the free trial and use it. That is if your using windows.

whitefox · 12-30-2003, 03:05 AM

Oh!! i forgot to tell you that my nero trial has expired......

and i am using Windows XP to burn CDs.

anything that i don't have to pay?

Well I haven't ran Windows in almost a year, so other then nero, I don't know.

Use FantomCD, Pinnacle Instant CD, another copy of Nero and just get a cdley from somewhere, Alcohol 120% is another burner too... , err.. cant remember the rest, but if you want you can find all of them and more in sharereactor.com

hi whitefox,
I am in Singapore. I have Slackware 9.1, but only the first 2 CDs.
send me a mail (thick_guy_9@gawab.com) if you need a set.
To burn ISO files (using Windows) you can download and use burnforfree.

It is a shareware. But for ISO files, it is great. Nero is bad. There are no fancy wizards.
later..

thank you so much, thick_guy_9, I actually have burnt the CDs. I appologize for not posting a message here.
