<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 "100" 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 "/dev/cdrom" 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>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000"> p [return]</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000"> 1 [return]</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000"> [return]</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000"> [return]</font>
</tt>
</blockquote> to create a
single partition spanning the whole device
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000"> w [return]</font>
</tt>
</blockquote> to write it out
</li>
<li>
Run 'setup'.
</li>
<li>
Answer the questions. The following answers work for me. Others
may work as well.
<tt>
<pre>
<font size="-1">
Remap your keyboard : <font color="#000000"> 2</font>
Continue without a swapfile : <font color="#000000"> y</font>
[a]dd more software, or [i]nstall from scratch : <font color="#000000"> i</font>
Install fresh, or add software to your current system : <font color="#000000"> i</font>

From which source will you be installing Linux : <font color="#000000"> 5</font>
CD-ROM type : <font color="#000000"> 1</font>
Enter device name : <font color="#000000"> /dev/ubd2</font>
Which type of installation do you want : <font color="#000000"> slakware</font>
Which software sets do you want to install : <font color="#000000"> [ up to you... ]</font>
Do you want to use (slow) PROMPT mode : <font color="#000000"> [ up to you... ]</font>
</font>
</pre>
</tt>
Setup will now install everything you asked for. If you selected
prompt mode, it will ask you whether you want each optional package.
<tt>
<pre>
<font size="-1">
INSTALLING A LINUX KERNEL : <font color="#000000"> 4</font>
It is recommended that you make a boot disk : <font color="#000000"> n</font>
Modem Setup : <font color="#000000"> n</font>

<li>
Untar /initfiles.tar:
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000" where="UML">UML#

</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000" where="UML">UML#
tar xpf /initfiles.tar
</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
This is needed so that the filesystem will boot a kernel that has
devfs turned on.
</li>
<li>
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000" where="UML">UML# halt</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
This will hang after "INIT: no more processes left in this
runlevel". Do a ps and kill all the "linux" processes, plus the
leftover xterm.
</li>
<li>
Boot the newly installed filesystem:
<blockquote>
<tt>
<font color="#000000" where="host">host% linux ubd0=root_fs_slackware</font>
</tt>
</blockquote>
</li>
