How do I install Linux Slackware 10.1?

Hey there, I am a noob to linux and I am looking for some help. My first question is how do i install Linux slackware 10.1. I have a compaq persario 2.4 ghz., 512 ram, 40 gig hardrive, and as of the moment have windows nt running on my system. I am new to Linux and have been trying to get accustomed to it for the last year but its difficult. The purpose of running it would be so that i can run a a graphics library that requires slackware. Now the library is allowed to run on windows but i dont like windows and would like to try something else like linux. So my next question is along with the first one can anybody give me any imformation or websites that i can go to to help me install linux slackware 10.1. If you do post websites can you do your best to include ones that pertain to everything about slackware such as command lines, instructions, upgrades, software, etc. Thats pretty much it thanks to anybody that takes the time to read this.

Unzip them and burn each .iso as an image.

you shouldn't have too many issues with programs. check out freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net

Unzip both Zip files. In Nero 6 go to Recorder (on toolbar) choose burn image. Then choose the ISO file you want to burn to disk that you have unzipped.
