Slackware Linux on a 386sx40

, slackware, xwindows, xfree86, retro, linux, vintage In this video I m going to install Slackware 1. 1. 2 on an old 386SX40 using floppies. The goal is to get the base linux installed, along with networking and X support. It s one thing to install linux on a virtual machine, but to install it on a 30 year old computer is another. So join me on this journey back in the past, to the beginning of 1994 when Slackware 1. 1. 2 was released, and the entire kernel source tree could still fit on a single 1. 44MB 3. 5 inch floppy. I ll be going over the hardware of the PC (Soundblaster Pro, Mitsumi CDROM, 3Com networking card and a Trident video card). I ll cover the actual installation and configuration of the components. In a second part we will be tackling sound, software, mitsumi cdrom IRQ hell and a lot more. , linux, slackware, retro
