At the moment as far as I know none of the boot disks have 1.0 in them, but
Slackware 8 does come with talking boot disks and kernel.

You really should just grab Slackware 8.0 and install from that. Then, at
some pont upgrade your kernel and Speakup version.

You've got a couple of options here. They have a msdos root disk which
allows you to install Slackware 8 to a fat 32 partition. Then, you can
configure loadlin to restart into Linux.
The other option is to use something like Partition magic 7 to free up
space, and then install Slackware 8 and Lilo to multiboot.

This is completely up to the Linux user, and what you will need. You will
most llikely want a series, ap series, d series, e series, n series, and
perhaps y as well although y is just text games.

Most of the rest is for x-windows which isn't speech friendly yet, but you
may want some of that if you plan to write apps for x.

Get the install.iso in the Slackware 8.0 directory.

Yep. Lots of places cary Slackware 8. However, online stores such as Amazon
are the most likely place to find it.

stores.
