Installation help - Slackware 13.37
Hey.
I downloaded the Slackware dvd iso and burned it to a dvd plate. But it doesnt seem like it want to boot from it. I've been reading the manual and it says "Please note that floppy disks are still required for a CD-ROM install if you do not have a bootable CD, as well as for an NFS install." I'm really confused since somewhere else in a readme i found "With the release of Slackware 12.0, the era of floppy-boot came to a definite end. The reason is simple - the Linux 2.6 kernel will not fit on a single floppy, even in it's most condensed configuration." I hope you can help :) |
Welcome to LQ
You don't need the floppy, if you can boot from CD/DVD Did you verified the cheksum of the download? Did you burn the iso as an image? Try to burn the iso at a lower speed. Kind regards |
Thanks for the quick answer. I suspect there is something wrong with my dvd rom so I tried copying a mounted image of the dvd iso to a usb memory stick instead, using the xcopy command in dos but i'm still not able to boot it. And no - I havent checked the checksums, i'll google it and figure out how to do that :)
