slackware 8.0 directory contents

slackware 8.0 directory contents

[Jason Symes]

Hi list.
I'm playing around with the idea of upgrading to a full version of
Slackware 8.0 with speakup, and being that I have only a 56k modem at the
moment, I'm curious as to the files that are required to be downloaded. I'm
downloading install.isa, but what is contained in extras.isa?
Thanks, and have a good new year.

Extra.iso just contains some extra software, which I for one have never needed to use. You should be fine with just install.iso.. I've downloaded install.iso, extra.iso, and source.iso over 56k modem overnight and on weekends before, it took me about a week to get all 3.

Hi, you only really need install.iso. The extra.iso file contains other
ported apps. such as the Sun Micro jdk and the Linux java run time
environment.
The Java stuff is the only thing I found of personal use off the extra iso
disk, but you could download that from Sun just as well, and get the 1.4
version.
