<P>The CD-ROM included with this book contains several hundred megabytes of software.

As you would expect, the latest version of Slackware Linux is provided, as is a whole

library of add-on software for your Linux system. Here's a quick rundown of the directories

on the CD-ROM, and what they contain:



<UL>

	<LI><TT>/docs</TT>: Contains the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) <TT>HOWTO</TT>

	files and some additional documents about installing and configuring Linux components.

	Most of these files are in ASCII format. The <TT>HOWTO</TT> files contain all the

	current LDP releases, including hardware information, XFree86 installation and configuration

	files, and explanations of many of the modules found elsewhere on the CD-ROM.

	<P>

	<LI><TT>/lone-tar</TT>: Contains the excellent Lone-Tar backup program from Lone

	Star Software that is explained in Chapter 67, &quot;Cactus/Lone Star Utilities.&quot;

	This software is configured for a one-year free evaluation. After one year, you will

	need to contact Lone Star Software to purchase a copy of Lone-Tar.

	<P>

	<LI><TT>/source</TT>: Contains many of the programs and code listings from this book,

	as well as some examples from other Linux sources.

	<P>

	<LI><TT>/bootdsks.144</TT>: Contains Linux boot images for 1.44MB (3'-inch) floppies.

	See the installation chapters for more information on using these files.

	<P>

	<LI><TT>/bootdsks.12</TT>: Contains Linux boot images for 1.2MB (5[dieresis]-inch)

	floppies. See the installation chapters for more information on using these files.

	<P>

	<LI><TT>/install</TT>: Contains DOS utilities for creating the boot and root floppies.

	<P>

	<LI><TT>/slakware</TT>: Contains the software for Slackware Linux, organized by disk

	set. The Slackware installation procedure uses these disk sets to install Linux on

	your system.

</UL>



<P>Most of the utilities and programs mentioned in this book are included on this

CD-ROM. If they are not, a reference to a Web site or an FTP location is usually

provided in the body of the reference. If a reference is missing, up-to-date information

can almost always be obtained from one of the Linux Web sites.
