Slackware SCSI bootdisks
------------------------
This directory contains a collection of batch files used to create Slackware
bootdisks. To create a disk, just put a formatted floppy disk in your drive
and choose one of the options listed below to make the disk. Read all of the
choices carefully to pick the disk that best matches the hardware in your
machine. NOTE: Using the VIEW program to create the Slackware bootdisks
will not work under Windows95. If you're running Windows95, you'll need to
restart your machine in MS-DOS mode before you can create a bootdisk.
NOTE: In addition to some sort of SCSI support, all of these disks contain
support for IDE hard drives and CDROM drives. So, if you're running
a mixed IDE/SCSI system, the kernels on these disks will be able to
handle the situation just fine. Look for the disk below containing
support for your SCSI controller card. If you have a CDROM drive with
a non-IDE, non-SCSI controller (such as a Sony CDU31a) then use the
disk that supports your CDROM drive.

wastes a lot of memory, since it contains nearly *all*
of the SCSI drivers. If you know which SCSI controller
your system has, it's *far* better to use the disk
designed especially for it. But, if you don't know,
then this generic disk might just work for you.)
