DOSSLACK

DOSSLACK is a bootable FreeDOS disk image which has been designed to boot into a Slackware 8.1 install. It can boot any of the kernels in the Slackware 8.1 CD's kernels/ directory. It supports most common ATAPI (IDE interface) CD-ROM drives. The Slackware 8.1 ISO image used a "no-emulation" boot image. Most recent BIOS's are capable of booting that CD, but many older (and some not-so-old) systems cannot. So if you have had problems installing Slackware 8.1, DOSSLACK may be the answer.
