Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Sers,
I have a Problem booting ZipSlack.
I unpacked it correctly and with all Paths and the Swapfile, onto the C drive of my old notebook. When I'm booting now, its loading VMlinuz and stuff. But then Suddenly the whole screen fills with chars and other symbols and a second later the notebook reboots.
i also tried it with boot disk.
But even there it only gets to the line, "uncompressing linux..."
And a few seconds later it crashs and for another few seconds
the screenbuffer is filled with various chars.
Probably an unzip problem. what did you untuip with? Is this running inside a windows installation? which windows?
what size and type are your partitions?
where is zipslack.zip being unzipped from?
It runs from MS-DOS 7.10!?
I unzipped it on my Desktop and packed it to 1.44 MB rar files which i copied to the Notebook and testet there, they were alright.
