Are you saying that you can buy PCs only with Windows XP installed? Are
you asking if Slackware can be installed on such PCs? If so, yes, you can
install Slackware (or any other Linux) so you can choose which operating
system to run when you turn on the PC. That is called dual-booting.
(Dual comes from the word duo.)

If you are asking if there is a way to run Slackware from Windows, yes,
there is. I have never used zipslack, but look for information on it.
Perhaps some of our Italian readers can point out some Slackware
information available on the web in Italian. You can run Slackware
in virtual machines running on Windows, also, using VMware, for example.

I just tried booting an MSI Wind clone from a USB stick with Puppy Linux.
Puppy Linux is, I believe, originally based on Slackware. It booted really
well and the only thing I did not see immediately was the WiFi connection.
Ethernet worked.
I intend to get one of these MSI Winds and put a Linux system (Slackware)
on an SD chip. The hard drive with XP I will probably remove.
Hope this helps
JB

Chick, Zipslak is good for smaller installations, I've used it a few times,
but only in VFAT FS, I do not think it will play in NTFS...
