If it's the yellowish boxed set with a Myth demo CD in the shrinkwrap,
and SGI and VALinux labeling, it's the 2.1 "Slink-and-a-half" boxed set.
By most accounts, it's a PoS, won't install, and is worth getting mostly
for the O'Reilly book included, though it too largely sucks.
Better to get the ~ US$10 set from LinuxCentral or another online
vendor, and either the Debian hardcopy docs or the Sams book:
Installing Debian Gnu/GNU/Linux
By Down, Thoma
Online Price: $19.95
ISBN: 0672317451
Date Published: 11/1999
(Which actually includes a *usable* Slink install).
