SMS.Native.CD requirements:
Any Pentium class processor 500MHz or AMD K2 and above will do, as for the RAM you will need at least 128MB (256MB recommended).
You can install it on a 486 machine with 128MB RAM too, but you need to choose huge or hugel7 kernel while booting SMS install disk.
SMS.Live.CD requirements:
To boot into Live mode any Pentium class processor 500MHz or AMD K2 and above will do, as for the RAM you will need at least 128MB (256MB recommended).
Booting in a slow computer with 128MB might output error with clamav-milter (needs to increase the time for loading),
after you install it on disk there will be no such problem.
Don’t forget that it’s a server , put a descent machine on it.

3. huge.s Default Slackware Kernel for i486 and better machines
4. hugel7.s Same as huge.s but with Layer 7 support patch

- Configuring your System:
As you may notice, there is no choose kernel menu, Installer will install the kernel you boot from automatically to your new system.
Lilo configuration has two options. The first is SMS lilo installer that automatically install lilo on your chosen partitions, second it's Slackware's lilo installer where you can create you lilo.conf from scratch.
Network configuration will use 'netconfig' script to alter your server's configuration to your new hostname & domain, including dovecot, postfix, httpd, sasl, squirrelmail, phpldapadmin except openldap.
To be able to configure openldap, /usr/libexec/slapd must be running, so either you configure your system and on first boot you import sms.ldif with the command
Basic setups are already being done and Slack Mini Server is ready out of the box...
