HOWTO

# bin86
# =====
# Slackware 8.0's 'bin86' package includes version 0.15.5, 8.1's includes
# 0.16.3, 9.0 and 9.1's include 0.16.11, and 10.0's, 10.1's, and 10.2's
# include 0.16.15

# If you need the whole package, see the dev86 howto.
# There are two versions below, 0.16.17 is the latest, and if you need the
# most stable, go with 0.16.0 at the bottom.

# This used to be required for building kernels (2.2.x).  lilo uses this for
# it's diagnostic floppy.  I'm sure lots of other things use it too.  It's
# an assembler, so it's not application specific or anything.

# If you ever want to uninstall it, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions.
