In Slackware Installation Help ,I found "Selects the source media for the Slackware Linux distribution. You can install from another hard disk partition, floppy disks, an NFS mount, a pre-mounted directory, or from CD-ROM.".

But my roommate use WindowsXP. I heared Redhat gentoo etc can install from ftp. Can slackware installed from ftp?
If he can, how can i do this?

ps: Search "slackware install ftp" can return useful links, which keyword should i search?

Thanks.

Download and burn the CDs, or support Pat and buy the CDs. It will be a lot easier.

What relevence is it that your roommate uses WinXP.

Cheers.
