No, this isn't a post that's been lost in etherspace for 5 years.
For kicks, and inspired by a couple recent requests for parts of an
old 1.2-based distro, I've grabbed Slackware 2.3 off tape and put it
on my wwwsite: http://skyron.harvard.edu/slacky23/ . All the disksets
are there, plus bootdisk & "color144" rootdisk images, fips & rawrite.
For completeness I've also put the VGA16 and SVGA versions of the ancient
(but small!) tinyX distribution of X11R3, and old g77 and lynx. All aout!

enjoy.

Nice, but do I have to click on 300 links to get the whole distribution?
Is it okay to use something like wget to grab all the files automatically?

Cheers,

This is just something I slapped together for kicks, so yeah I just put up the
disksets as originally organised instead of tarring them together for example.
Go ahead and use wget, I don't expect this to be such a high-demand item that
concurrent requests will overload my webserver. But thanks for asking (-:
