2. SlackWare Linux installation
A. Before Installation - Under DOS environment:
=>You need to make a boot diskette and a root diskette first
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% make boot disk %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Slackware 7.0:
C:\> pkunzip tekram70.zip =>> tekram.s
C:\> rawrite tekram.s A: =>> boot diskette for installation
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% make root disk %%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
C:\> pkunzip color.zip =>> color.gz
C:\> rawrite color.gz A: =>> root diskette for installation
(color.gz would be found at Slackware release CD "rootdsks")
B. Installation
a. Using installation diskette that you made to install SlackWare Linux.
Following the Linux installation procedures to install.
b. When the installing screen display " INSTALL LINUX KERNEL ".
- Select "bootdisk Use the kernel from the installation bootdisk",
- and re-insert the "boot diskette" to floppy drive A:
c. Exit Slackware Linux Setup while the installation is completed
e. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot system
3. Remake new kernel
P.S: You must install your Linux system by developmental environment
and include kernel source first.
on KDE windows:

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
