and another question
i now want to do a frsh copy of slake about the partitoin that i need to do with cfdisk
how much partition to do and what partiotion linux swap or linux or ... and if i need to do so how much gb
and on what i need to write the partition table and on what no
and in the installation whan i come to the boot chose screen what to chose
You didn't say how big your hard drive is.
Perhaps you would do best to boot off your Fedora disk
and let the install partition your disk for you. Then quit the install
and boot the Slack install disk.
When Slack install gives you the boot prompt, just hit enter.
It will boot and then ask for a login, type root
Then type setup and follow the instructions.
in the past thair was installed on my hardisnk that is 40 gb fedora core 2
now i want the slackware so ive installed the slackware
in the satr of the installtion i fromat the hardisk and whan its finish the installition
i reboot my computer whan is up i see just balck screen
and in the top write
GRUB
thats it i donw know how to countinuw from here
im really need your help and i thanks you all ...
