Welcome to LQ.
When you burn the CD make sure you do so at a slow speed. It would also be a good idea to make sure you are using decent quality CDs and maybe even clean the drive. |
umm i will try burning it slower but it get to the setup fine and when i am doing the cd test it notices it there but skips onto the next one
and thanks for welcoming me to LQ |
type 'mount cdrom'
then cd into /mnt and 'ls' you should then have a list of the files on the CD. |
When i type that i get:
root~slackware:/# mount cdrom mount: can't find /var/log/moun in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab root@slackware:/# and thats all i get :( umm finding my bros slack 8.1 and that dectects the cdrom and the other doesnt so i might try burning it at a lower speed edit again: i reburn it at a lower speed and i get the same bloody thing, i might as well use slackware 8.1 cos i dont have the time to download 9.1 |
I got the same problem yesterday.
Try my ways: 1)Connet one USB CD/DVD 2)Change another CDROM, sometimes it works. |
Seeing i got 2 cdroms in my main pc (this one) I may take out my dvd one becasue the samsurg is a bit dodgey
ok I try and see what result i get EDIT: Yay its installing now i swicthed it with another cdrom and it seems to be installin thanks for the tip but i am going to have to buy another cdrom or see if i can fix the old one thanks for all your support! |
All seems to be working well i got slackware to install fine :)
thanks for all your help! |
