that totally doesn't make sense. if they checksum okay and you burn them as ISOs they should boot. did you try burning different slackware ISOs each time (i.e., from different places)? try the linuxiso copies, they have never failed me yet.

linuxiso was extremetly slow so I went the bitTorrent route. if these don't work i'll download from isolinux overnight and post any changes here...

Thanks for the continued help synaptical!
