Probably. I just remember installing from a dozen+ 3.5" floppies onto my pizzabox '386 and breathing a sigh of relief when it booted.

I think I needed 17 floppies ... and I could only scrounge up about 8, so I assumed it wouldn't need the earlier ones again and reused them for later parts. It worked! I didn't use Slackware much though, as I had no way to connect that machine to the internet, so it was really hard to learn how to do stuff.

I think I actually still have an "Introduction to Slackware Linux" book.

I started with Slackware and was happy with it, but must admit that is entirely because my Linux book from B&N came with Slackware on a CD.

I still do. It still does...

I admit, I stopped using linux on desktop approx 2007. Since then, its just been macos and servers.

I've been considering going back to it though, but I know that I need to do it in measured steps.

Care to share any more about your slackware experience?
