You can't use the iso directly. But if they have support for installing
from DOS (eg. One file Kernel, One file initrd to use with loadlin) you
should be able to put those files on your TFTP-Server along with
PXElinux and its config file.

The Slackware installer has to support network as an installation
source, anyway...

Hi.

I would like to install slackware linux onto my compaq tablet pc. the
problem is that it doesn't have either floppy or cd-rom, but it does support
booting from PXE or RPL.

I was wondering if you can use the slackware install iso to boot via the
network. Or do i have to do in another way?

Thanks

//Anders
