UMSDS144 install disk:

This is an version of the Slackware Linux distribution made to be installed 
onto existing DOS partitions without the need for repartitioning or 
reformatting. The system will be installed into a \linux directory on one
of your DOS partitions, and will be bootable through the use of a boot disk.
Don't create a \linux directory on your dos drive prior to installing.

All of the Slackware bootkernel disks support UMSDOS, so you can pick whichever
one of those seems best suited to your hardware.

You will need 4 megabytes minimum to install this software.

You MUST also make the U1 disk and install it along with at least the normal
Slackware A series. Like with the other package disks, just copy the files 
onto an MS-DOS formatted disk.

I tried installing the A series and U1 disk and found it took slightly less
than 12 megabytes. So, to give Linux a test drive, that's the smallest space
you can squeeze a minimal system into.

I'll take any bug reports or comments you have on this. I get *tons* of mail,
so if I don't answer yours, don't take it personally. :^) I wish I could
answer it all.

Good luck, and have fun trying this out!
