  I have installed the 4-CD version of Slackware 3.5 a number of times -
I could do it in my sleep. It is a breeze, except for setting up for the video
card.
You may have to download a driver for your card, so check that out first, and
find what you need.

Estimated time: about 30 - 45 minutes with a 24x cd.
Please note, I also tried the RedHat version, and had much trouble with the PPP
connection. In comparison, Slackware was very easy.
