I wonder how many floppies you would need...

(BTW, Linux no longer boots from floppies. Presumably you /could/ use
FreeDOS to munge the hard drive and get the files to it.)

How big a partition will freedos support, anyways? Wasn't the limit
on the last version of msdos 2 gigs?

Unless you need international support in kde (KDEI is on CD 3),
and some stuff in /extra is on CD 3 too.
Pasture (like the gcc 3.x compiler) en /testing is on CD 5 (!)

See the "torrents" page on the Slackware website to see "what is on
which CD": http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php
