* Interested in Linux? 
* Got an Amiga 3000, 4000 or 2000 a PC or a computer 
(with at least an '020 turbo board) or a keyboard ?
* Don't want to use NetBSD?
* Are you a Bus spotter ?
 
Then read on.. :-) 

The Linux/m68k Installation Guide helps 
you in putting together a running Linux system. 
The guide is tailored for Amiga computers, 
but Atari users might also find it useful. 
And PC users will surf through it.
This new version of the
guide has been written in linuxdoc-sgml; 
But here we will focus on installation and Bus spotting.


Get the boot disk that you need by selecting 
it from THIS LOCATION 
<ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware/bootdsks.144/> 
or you can try my recommended boot disk that works 
with most all IDE hard
drives and CD-ROM drives by simply clicking 
HERE <ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware/bootdsks.144/bare.i> 
Save this file to the base directory c:\install for WinBlows 
or /install for Linux 
.Get the root disk that you need by selecting it 
from THIS LOCATION 
<ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware/rootdsks/> 
or you can try my recommended root disk that works 
for most installations from
HERE <ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware/rootdsks/color.gz> 
Save this file to the base directory also.

With me so far ? Now on till the good stuff fellow penquins.

by either using the rawrite13.exe file if 
you're a Dos or WinBlows user like so: 
Then it will say input source file name 
so you input: bare.i 
Then it will say input 
destination drive letter or some such crap 
so you input: a for the floppy drive a: or b for the floppy drive b: 
And then it writes the disk image to the floppy drive and 
says something like complete 
Then repeat the process for the color.gz root disk image 
Other versions of rawrite are available and 
they all work about the same 
BUT please make modifications to 
commands as needed to make the boot and root disk 
Or if you have access to a Linux 
you can just use a command as root like this: 
dd if=bare.i of=/dev/fd0 
or replace the /dev/fd0 with the name of your floppy device.
It should work now. If not you must have made a mistake.

You are now ready to use Linux while you Bus spot.
