I got so much exercise trying to install Slackware from >20 floppies. Disk 5 has read errors. go copy another, start over from disk 1. Disk 8 has a read error.

(By the time I was done I didn't have enough disks, so I had to go to the lab in the middle)

I installed Slackware 2.1 with kernel 1.1.59 in the fall of 1994.

I only had about 15 floppies between me and my roommate. I remember getting the "a" series of disks and then the "d" series for development and so on. I had to run back and forth to the computer lab about 5 times over the weekend.
