The last version of Slackware to use a pre-1.0 kernel.
KVM acceleration works well and the extra speed of hardware virtualisation is welcome. The emulated vga device should be cirrus, and the newest emulated network adapter that I can get to work is ne2k_isa. I had to build a custom kernel to get the network card to work, although there is a kernel that includes the driver for this card, it didn't work and I think it's due to it not playing nicely with other drivers in the kernel. My config file can be found here and the binary here (md5).
Slackware 1.1.2 doesn't have a DHCP client, so IP addresses should be configured manually. The defaults with user mode networking in Qemu are 10.0.2.15 for the local machine, the gateway is 10.0.2.2 and the nameserver is 10.0.2.3
The driver should be clgd5428 (it's for an earlier Cirrus Logic adapter than the emulated one, but the driver works). A copy of my Xconfig can be found here.
No web browser at all, but email clients and newsreaders are provided. I can't even get the ftp client to work with modern servers.
Slackware 1.1.2 login screen
fvwm still the same :-)
The FTP client partly works
And telnet works, but with the same DNS restrictions as we've already seen.
Useful info for getting online with contemporary hardware :-)
Same bug on exiting X as seen in Slackware 2.0.1
