Hello to all. Well I want to install on my PC Slackware 7.1. I've done the needfull installation disks by rowwrite (I mean boot/root). Try to load from floppy by boot disk. All going fine (kernel detected all my hardware) and it's asking to put the root disk into drive.
I put another (root) disk and hit Enter, then again and again 3d time. And after this in result I see something like this (I can't to recall how exectly): can't opening library "bla-bla-bla". I've tryed "color", "text" with the same result. I have the NTFS formatted disk and maybe thats the root of my problem???
Can someone help here??
Best regards!

Heh, in the first place, try to use Slackware 9.0 which can be obtained from www.slackware.com/getslack

This is mostly a bootable image ....(boot from cd-rom)

Well, I wanna sretup my system by some parts and do it "by hands" to contol whole installation process. 7.1 is the last version that giving this possibility. And I try to recall the messege:

init: error opening shared library: can't load shared file: libc.so.6: no such file or directory


What does it mean?

It means that you are missing a shared file. Try to locate it with: locate libc.so.6
Did you ever see Gentoo? This distribution can be build up from scratch ....and is most of the time "up-to-date" software...
