Hello, I just installed "slackware-13.37-iso" from BitTorrent 7.5 which gave me 4 files, "slackware-13.37-install-d3", "slackware-13.37-install-d3.iso.asc","slackware-13.37-install-d3.iso.md5", and "slackware-13.37-install-d3.iso" the last one is a tree.
So far I've been trying to burn "slackware-13.37-install-d3" as a image (I've used about 4 different burning programs)but after it gets done burning it doesn't seem to be bootable, i do a restart and try to boot the CD up and nothing, and even when I click on the CD from Windows 7 or Fedora 14 it only shows me the files and doesn't open it like a program.
Sorry, its probably something simple.. I've never attempted to install Slackware before.
Nevermind, I found it on the internet, once downloaded is there a certain spot I should put it or something, or just burn it along with the other?
Thanks!
Each is a disk image, thus each should be burned to it's own CD, otherwise nothing special needs to be done really. Disk one is the bootable one, the other two are used during installing and you will be prompted to put them in when/if they are needed.
