You can either use the boot disk & 2 root disks from Slackware 9.0 or
DOSSLACK <URL:http://www.userlocal.com/dosslack/>.

Thats great, back in bussiness again. I think I killed the FDC on my old
machine by plugging in the cable wrongly some years ago.

I can just copy the boot manager onto HD with another machine. Then boot
Slackware from CD

Thanks alot,

Aaron
