HPC GUY:
yeah i did that the cdrom is the first boot device..it may be the machine itself, its an old p100 and may not like booting from the cdrom + the cdrom has trouble reading my silver shitty cds.

XxD:
i had a serious fucking bitch with slackware too...


its not worth your time, get someThing else.

beltorak0:
it isn't bootable - i think because it wouldn't fit on one cdrom otherwise; but if yer still interested.... you still have the file, right?
do this as root:

--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
and cd to "/mnt/cdrom/isolinux", read the README.TXT file.  It explains how to make a bootable install cd.  You'll have to leave off gnome, kde, or kdei or it won't fit on one cd.  As for why V. didn't make a 2 cd download with the first being bootable, who knows?  or even a small shell script would have been helpful.

remember that slackware will have you do most things yourself, so brush up on the HOWTO's and README's.

or if you'd rather, stick with one that has an easier setup.

-t.
