People have mentioned having CDs and floppies, but no links so far, so... Here's some information about running Slackware 1.01 in a virtual machine, complete with floppy image links: http:// <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/> blog.nielshorn.net <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/>/2009/06/ <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/>older- <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/>slackware- <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/>versions-vi <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/>/ <http://blog.nielshorn.net/2009/06/older-slackware-versions-vi/> The earliest CD image I could find is for Slackware 3.2: http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-3.2-iso/ >From the Red Hat/Fedora side, the earliest floppy image I could find is from Red Hat Linux 4.2: http:// <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> archive.download.redhat.com <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> /pub/ <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> redhat <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> / <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> linux <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> /4.2/ <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> en <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> / <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> os <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> /i386/images/ <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> boot.img <http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/images/boot.img> There's lots of partial content and the root of that URL for earlier releases, but AFAICT RH didn't make floppy images publicly downloadable before then; the directories where they would be seem to be all empty.

(Thankfully he had good choice in friends, had he instead handed me a copy of the also recently released Windows 2000 things might have ended up much differently. :-) My poor old Gateway couldn't run Windows 98 without blue screening every 5 minutes, but damn if it didn't run that thing flawlessly. (It even made it to Fedora 2 before it finally gave the ghost!) The included copy of Netscape Navigator 4 left much to be desired, but I quickly discovered early milestones of this Mozilla Suite thing which worked much better, despite all the scary warnings Netscape had plastered all over Mozilla.org at the time. -T.C.
