i will try the option you told me tonite.hope it works.and do i have to write in lilo the MBR loading partation. which is /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda3

After selecting "MBR" install the kernel image as the "default" option (the other ones are Boot from kernel in CD, from Kernel image elsewhere, etc. I am just recalling from my previous installations). After that, Slackware will do the rest :-)

Good luck

PS: No modifications in LILO, let Slackware do it.

ok i will try it .and hope wont get any problem this time.one thing it ask you for kernel that where you want o install it from cd floopy or leave it which option do ihave to choose thn. please if you can tell me thanks

leave it as default

thanks guy i have done it.it is installed and running now.but i made two partations at the start hda1 hda2 as swap and hda3 but my hda3 is not working means mounting.plz help me to mount my hda3 partation

my partation table in cfdisk is like

hda1 primary linux ext2
hda2 primary swap
hda3 primary linux

in slackware i cant mount my hda3 please can you guide me the command so i can mount my hda3 which is 120gb so i can install my softwares on many thanks waitng for you reply . many thakns please guide me trough command like how to enable my hda3 or how to mount my hda3 drive thanks

Try: mount -t auto /dev/hda3 /mnt
You should use another directory instead of /mnt, that's an example, you can mout anywhere you like.
If that doesn't work, try to remember which kind of filesystem it has and use -t reiserfs or -t ext3 depending on what it uses.
If it's not formated, used mkfs to make a filesystem on it, i would recommend reiserfs.
If you want it to be automatically mounted on every boot, modify your /etc/fstab acording to your needs.

And if you have doubts about the commands just use the man pages, like man mount, man mkfs, man /etc/fstab.

how to start my Gnome in slackware now slackwaer 10 is up and running but i need to start gnome so i can installa oracle 9i and carry on over service.plz guide me how to start gnome on my machine .if you can guide me trough the proper command that will be easier for me many thanks waitng for your response guys.

startx
Now, will you PLEASE try doing something for yourself? That's the whole point with Slackware.
You might need to configure your xserver before you can start gnome. READ THE SLACKBOOK, IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

i tried doing startx but it doesnt work thats why i ask you guys.

sfa1980, as Charred pointed out, there are things that are easy to solve by yourself, slackbook.org is very handy for that.

Regarding your last message about startx not working, well, it could not work because billion of things, you need to be detailed when you've a error, a question, etc, nobody can guess your error and provide a solution.
My best shot is that X is not configured properly, take a look at slackbook to see how to configure it. If you still can't do it, then come back with the detailed error. I don't want to offend you, but it's the best way to learn.

hello guys i have configured myX and it is working now. gnome is up and running. well one more thing i wnat to ask you is that .i want to install oracle 9I on this do i need to compile the kernel or is there ane extra settings do i have to do. you guys are really helpfull. i never had problem with linux but slackware gave me a bit problem but all of them are solved now and i m happy with my OS. obly thing which i asked you is about oracle that for 9I do i have to do something else or if you can guide me the proper way or recemond me ane website where i can go trough for oracle installing and configuring steps.

Well done! Not so scary as you thought, was it? Welcome to the Wonderful World of Slackware!

Edit:
For the benefit of others who may have the same question in the future, you may wish to consider starting a new thread about it in the appropriate forum. I'm afraid I know bumkiss about Oracle, but I would recommend just giving it a try, and seeing what happens!
