i want to install slack ware but um...im really not sure how. i downloaded the iso and burned it to cd, i read some of the read me stuff and it wasnt too clear (or atleast i have not understood it) and i didnt see a rawrite to create a boot disk. so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Slack is tough; I use Debian, and it's SUPPOSED to be the toughest install, but I haven't tried Slack; oh, well, what version of Slack have you got?  The CD itself may be bootable, if your BIOS is configured properly.  Also, check the Slackware website; they may have a D/L image that will create a boot floppy.  I'm willing to bet your install CD is bootable though.

I think his computer can't boot off of the CDROM. If it can, though, the floppy image is useless then (like you said).
