Cucumber Bookstore has the software only in jewel boxes. And if you go
to CompUSA or B Dalton's in Lakeforest Mall (Gathersburg) you can get
the Volkerding etal book with a single CD. ( I assume only Slackware,
no archives) CompUSA is much cheaper.
Now if someone would be kind enough to outline the differences between
Slack 2.2 and 2.3 (other than kernel) I would be grateful.
