I guess i am not cut out for Slack
 

had to reinstll and my dvd cd stopped reading the cd...downloaded dvd and 3 cd set ..both cannot finish install...i'm lost! other distros i have no issues...i'm tired :-( Is there a site that has a full working set that will install?

Burn them sloooooooooowly...................4X and you should not be making any coasters.

Your post really isn't quite clear about the problem. SGUns is right about burning slowly, MD5 check also helps. What exactly is the problem here?
Not downloading?
Not burning?
Not installing?
What?

I've never had a problem installing Slack.

Welcome to LQ jimnyc2000!

Slackware is worth all the trouble of reading and learning HOW-TO use it.

If you don't have the time for reading, and wrestling some stuff to the
blood, then Slackware might just make you angry...

We got some HOW-TOs, and I think this one will help you get a good DVD
or CDs so that you can finish the install.

You simply absolutely must verify the md5sum of the ISO image(s) you
download, and then the media you burn to afterwards.

masonm,

I've had a lot of trouble installing Slackware over the years. Such as
when I had SATA drives and there was no driver in the installer for
them. Had to build a custom Slackware install CD. But, I have always
been able to overcome these and other problems. Slackware has given
me back the Personal Computer that Mickey$oft Windoze took away.

first off..thanks for the assistance..i can download no problem do the md5 check and it says it is fine...can browse the dvd just fine. Boots up and never makes it to end of install, and i get about 20-30 packages that will not install..they will stop with an error and i hit enter to foward..Have a dual core 2.13 ghz with 4 gb ram and 250gb sata drive...
NEC 18X DUAL LAYER DVD±R/W RAM RECORDER and
EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GTX 768MB PCI-E video card. I really do like the distro and will keep trying but it is frustrating.

Hmmmm could it be that your medium is faulty?

Bad DVDs are not exactly unheard of. What software are you using to burn them?

Yeah, ok, I remember those days, but they seemed like minor issues to me. Am just trying to mail down the issue for the OP here.

Did you md5sum the ISO image and the DVD? What version of Slackware?

Here's an example from my LAN:
That ISO image downloaded is good, but that burn is no good.

YES!!! Rejoice!!! Finally! Not sure what did it...used same DVD but formatted drive using crunchbang live cd instead of gparted from Puppy.That is the only thing i did different! Went through total install and in KDE 3.5 Heaven now!! Now of course i will try to update to kde 4....anyways..thanks!! Great Community and very much appreciate the good nature! Just like Ches Griffin says in his slackware podcast!! Thanks!! Once u go slack u don't go back!

yeah
you shoulda known a ubuntu cd's gparted worked good:)
