%T   "The Complete Linux Kit"
 
Basically, this package contains a CD-ROM with the "Slackware" Linux
distribution (as of March, 1995), and installation instructions.  The
directions are written for a common platform with an IDE, or possibly SCSI,
hard drive and DOS partitioning.  The initial explanations are not always
clear, but once the material moves into the specific instructions for
installation there should be no problems.
 
The content deals only with installation, and does not cover UNIX use or
operation.
 
Book two, about three quarters of the printed book, is actually "Linux
Installation and Getting Started" from the Linux Documentation Project, and
written by Matt Welsh.  This section does deal with basic UNIX commands and
system management, although not to the same extent as "Running Linux" (cf.
BKRUNLIN.RVW).  The appendices from book two cover sources of Linux and Linux
information.
