Hello all
Here's an odd question for everyone. I've been looking for as small as possible linux (slackware) install, and after a lot of poking about I've come across the old version of slackware that could be run from DOS after extracting from a zipfile, zipslack. The last version was for Slackware 11.
However I've hit apon a problem. I find often there are *lots* of corruption with regards to filesystems, either from the dos partition I have zipslack on, or if I try to transfer it to an ext2 file partition.
The hard drive in my PC (which is a 700Mhz AMD Athon, 20 GB IDE HDD) has no errors; normal linux live CDs work fine with no problems.
What I am trying to do is to work out just which slackware packages were used to create zipslack in the first place. But short of going over *Every* file x.x I cannot work out just which packages were used.
I understand a normal slackware install can use tagfiles, but I cannot find very much about them, nor many people using them. In theroy I guess tagfiles could be created to represent the files used by zipslack, and those used to install slackware. However, I've found no such information online.
Can anyone help?
