           if your kernel version is between 2.0.0 to 2.0.30

                copy pMChp2_0_0.gz   => A: .....copy it to DOS floppy  

           if your kernel version more than 2.0.30

                copy pMChp2_0_31.gz  => A: .....copy it to DOS floppy 
 
  B. Installation

   a. Using installation diskette that you made to install SlackWare Linux.
      Following the Linux installation procedures to install.

   b. When the installing screen display " INSTALL LINUX KERNEL ".

      - Select "bootdisk  Use the kernel from the installation bootdisk",
      - and re-insert the installation diskette to floppy drive A:

   c. Exit Slackware Linux Setup while the installation is completed

   e. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot system

3. Remake new kernel

   P.S: You must install your Linux system by developmental environment
        and include kernel source first.
