[Sussex] PXE and USB boot in Slackware

[John Crowhurst]

I've just downloaded the mirror of Slackware-current, which is finally a
2.6 distribution.

One of the first notable things with this release is the lack of root and
boot disks that splits Slackware-current from its previous releases and
support for for floppy and Zipslack have now gone.

In return, two new install methods have been introduced: PXE or network
boot and USB flash drive install. You just need to provide some source for
the rest of the distribution (for instance NFS).

It looks like Slackware is emerging from the past to embrace the future.
The new modular X11R7.2 and KDE 3.5.2 are good examples of the emergence.
