Re: Instructions for installing Slackware

You'll need to create some partitions. If you want to keep your
DOS/Windows intact, you'll absolutely have to learn what that is and how
to deal with it. Partitions are not specific to Linux. They're just a
reality for any operating system. You're planning to have two operating
systems on your hard drive. To do that, you'll need a minimum of two
partitions.
