| * I wrote a number of alternative installers for Slackware 11.0.\\ As a bonus when you buy the official CD set of DVD, you will find those also in the directory ''/miniiso-pxe-usb-installers'' on the Slackware 11.0 DVD and on CD 5. This directory is not found on official Slackware mirrors.\\ __**NOTE:**__ Slackware 12.0 has officially supported USB and PXE installers in the directory ''/usb-and-pxe-installers'' so there is no need for me to have copies of them on my own site as well. | * I wrote a number of alternative installers for Slackware 11.0.\\ As a bonus when you buy the official CD set of DVD, you will find those also in the directory ''/miniiso-pxe-usb-installers'' on the Slackware 11.0 DVD and on CD 5.

| In case you wondered; the //blinkenlights// image at the top of this page is a constant reminder of my entry into the "real world" of computers.
