I down loaded the Slack ISO and burned it on a CD, but I can't boot to it. So I made the install floppys and booted to them. After all five floppies are loaded and I log in as root, What do I have to do to install Slackware? I tried to mount my hard drive and cdrom with no success. Is there any how-to's that are easy to follow? I would like to try Slack out. Thanks
When you login as root type:
setup
That's it You're ready to setup Slack. Ooh, only one thing. If you don't have partitions ready for Slack, you'll first have to create them with fdisk or cfdisk and then run setup. Good Luck!
