I already uninstalled RH7.2 and switch to Slackware9.0 on my old box (Pentium100,82MB RAM, 4 MB S3 Virge VC), I'll narrate my installation experience and this is also serves as a mini tutorial to those who want to install Slack making it as a second OS (dual boot) with M$ Win, I have an old BIOS so my only way is to boot it from floppy discs, I had to create 1 bootdisk (bare.i) and 2 rootdisks (install.1 & install.2) in order for me to install from CD-ROM,and then partition my HD,Ill just follow the installation help documents and setup using the newbie mode in order for me to choose packages that I want. After that I configure the lilo.conf as my boot loader and configure my video card to work on my X. I already did some security stuffs on my box like closing unneccessary ports/services and now I'm setting a firewall rule using iptables.
I'll provide some screenshots on my desktop and for now Im enjoying my new distro and feeling contented ,and never worried again about rpms and shits..lolz...btw tnx to linux guru like kojie.. \|/
