This has bugged me since you first posted, because I knew I'd just read
something about this.....
>From the book LINUX FOR YOUR LAPTOP by Bill Ball--
Slackware has a version that's meant to be run from a zip disk.<g> Minimal
installation on your machine, and boots from the zip:

Procedure as presented by Ball:
Download zipslack.zip, bootdisk.img, rawrite.exe
Decompress onto the zip disk
Use rawrite.exe to create boot disk (optional)
Run loadlin.exe to boot Linux from the zip disk

Subject: [techtalk] Running Linux from a zip disk.
Hi.
I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience
running Linux from a zip disk.
I am a newbie, and relatively ignorant, but for some
reason, during the summer I will be rquired to do some
UNIX stuff. I decided that if I ran Slackware, I
would be able to go by with that. The problem is that
I literally live at school, where everything is
windows and microsoft. So I was thinking in the
possibility of running Linux from a zip disk, without
having to mess up much with the computers.
Any ideas/help?
Maria.
