<P>Okay, now comes the fun part: Figuring out what files need to be on
|
|
the system disk, and what packages that you want (and can fit) on
|
|
your ZIP drive.
|
|
<P>I decided that the easiest way to get started was install Slackware
|
|
directly to the ZIP drive. I decided on this approach mostly
|
|
because Slackware is a smaller distribution then Red Hat, and it
|
|
would be easier to trim out what I didn't want. That and the fact
|
|
that I am using the Slackware distribution anyway made it an
|
|
obvious choice.
|
|
<P>Installing Slackware onto the ZIP disk is easy, as root run the
|
|
setup program, and choose /iomega as the install to partition, set
|
|
the install from partition to where the Slackware sources are
|
|
(cdrom, hardrive, etc), select install and follow the prompts.
|
|

|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The hardest part is deciding what to add, and what not to add.
|
|
Obviously, you'll need the 'A' series (Which is about 8 megs), the
|
|
rest is up to you.
|
|
<P>I managed to trim down the Slackware release to a respectable
|
|
installation of 70 megs, which included gcc/g++, perl, X11R6
|
|
(NOT ALL OF IT!), sendmail, online docs (Minus all the development
|
|
man pages, but including all the howto's), and an assortment of
|
|
other goodies, while leaving about 10 megs free for user files. YMMV
