Default Downloading Slackware 9.1

Hi,

This is kind of embarrassing . I am no Linux Guru, but I do know a little. I use Slackware at University, and am now setting up a Slackware Server at home. I need to download 9.1 from the Slackware website.

"Not a problem I thought. Downloading is easy" - HA!

Do I need to download all the files under the 9.1 folder? Or should I download all of them from the 9.1-iso folder?

I have installed Slackware 8 several times (And indeed have the CD, but am interested in 9, due to the fact one of my lecturers suggested it was better for what I was going.) so am used to Slackwares "Qurks".

Thanks in advance.

If you get the ISO, you can then use some cd burning software - eg nero on windows, or k3b on linux to build yourself an install cd like the one you have of 8. That'd be the only file you needed to download, but a .iso is basically everything on the cd, so it'll be big...

g'luck
