    Another option is to use the ZipSlack distribution, which is a
    subdirectory on the slackware server. When expanded it fits on a
    100MB zip disk.

    I started with this, added a few files from the 'X' set of floppies,
    and that gave me enough to compile/run Xastir on a laptop. Did that
    with Slackware 8.0, but I think the latest still has zipslack as
    part of it.

    I run FVWM2 in order to get a bit more speed out of old laptops.
    KDE and Gnome really tax the CPU. FVWM2 does not.
