Slack was pretty cool, but like SLS before it, it was a little unwieldy. This was especially true if you didn't have a CD-ROM drive (or a CD-ROM with the right bits!).
Instead, I used MCC Interim Linux to get a base set of bits since it had such a tiny foot print. I also somehow managed to cobble together X11 and get it working, but I seem to remember it being a real pain in the ass.
Coincidentally, my first X11 background image was also of JR Bob Dobbs, but I wasn't running Slackware.
