            <h3>The Slackware installation README</h3>
          </center>
<p>This is the README from the uml Slackware installation kit.  The kit
contains a root filesystem which will run the installation and this
README.  You can see a transcript of an installation <a href="slackinst.html">
here</a>.

<p>inst_fs_slackware_7.0 contains a filesystem that the user-mode kernel
can use to generate a Slackware root filesystem, given access to a
Slackware distribution.  This has been tested for Slackware 7.0.  If
the Slackware install procedure is reasonably stable, it might work
for other releases, as well.  If you try it on a different release,
let <a href="jdike at karaya dot com">me</a>
know whether it worked or not, and what, if anything, needed to be
done different from the instructions below. 

<p>To run the installation procedure, do the following:
<ol>
<li>
Get a user-mode kernel.  Any kernel from the user-mode linux download
page will do.
</li>
<li>
Make a file to contain the Slackware installation:
<blockquote>
                <tt>
                  <font color="#000000" where="host">host% 
dd if=/dev/zero of=root_fs_slackware bs=$((1024*1024)) count=100
</font>
                </tt>
              </blockquote>
The &quot;100&quot; is the size in megabytes of the filesystem - Choose that
number according to what you want to install.  These are the
approximate installation sizes of the various series:
<center>
<table border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="100%"></table>
</center>
See README7.TXT at the top level of the distribution for more details.
</li>
<li>
Make a filesystem in that file:
<blockquote>
                <tt>
                  <font color="#000000" where="host">host% mke2fs root_fs_slackware</font>
                </tt>
              </blockquote>	
</li>
<li>
Run the kernel as follows:
<blockquote>
                <tt>
                  <font color="#000000" where="host">host% linux ubd0=inst_fs_slackware_7_0 ubd1=root_fs_slackware 
ubd2r=/dev/cdrom devfs=nomount rw</font>
                </tt>
              </blockquote>
Replace &quot;/dev/cdrom&quot; with the path to the Slackware distribution CD on
your system.  It can be the CD-ROM device file or a file that contains
the ISO image of the CD.  It cannot be a directory containing the
CD-ROM directory tree.  I.e. if your CD-ROM device is /dev/cdrom and
it's mounted on /mnt/cdrom, pass /dev/cdrom on the linux command line,
not /mnt/cdrom.
</li>
<li>
You will get four xterms popping up, one of which contains the
system log, and the other three of which contain login prompts.
</li>
<li>
Log in as 'root' with no password.
</li>
<li>
Run fdisk on /dev/ubd1 to put a partition table on the new
filesystem:
	<blockquote>
                <tt>
                  <font color="#000000" where="host">host% # fdisk /dev/ubd1</font>
                </tt>
              </blockquote>
	<blockquote>
                <tt>
                  <font color="#000000"> o [return]</font>
                </tt>
              </blockquote> to make a new partition table
	<blockquote>
                <tt>
                  <font color="#000000"> n [return]</font>
                </tt>
