Slackware 8.1 ...

[hiteksurplus]

I have successfully installed the mini version of slack 8.1 and have upgraded the kernel to 2.4, now I am downloading xfree86 which i hope is the x window system? The first question is...how do i copy the xfree86 file from a cd into the computer with the slackware on it? Also... does it matter what directory i put it in before i install it?

Thanks

Depending on how you have your cdroms configured in /etc/fstab.

cd /path/to/copy/to

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hd# /mnt/<mountpoint>
or
mount /mnt/mountpoint

cp /mnt/<mountpoint>/files* .
