thanks a lot about your time ... hope that you can help me

roy ...

Some where during the Slackware installation you were asked to
install lilo. You should have done this. It is to be installed in the MBR.

Since you obviously have net access from anther box, I would start here .

(This isn't just an RTFM, honest! Knowing how to use the bootloader correctly is essential if your box ever goes belly up...)

thanks u two help me
 

now i install the slackware from the begining
whan i get to the boot part what should i tell him ?

thanks in advance

roy ...

Sorry I'm having trouble understanding you.

Have you just done a fresh install of Slack?
If this is so, when you boot, you should be presented with a
red lilo prompt. Just press enter.

come in ..
 

whan i open my computer it is need to be the red square and i need to chose linux but is not presented
i can see just black screen and in the top of him is write

GRUB

please if you know somthing and can help me i really thank you

and another question

i now want to do a frsh copy of slake about the partitoin that i need to do with cfdisk

how much partition to do and what partiotion linux swap or linux or ... and if i need to do so how much gb
and on what i need to write the partition table and on what no

and in the installation whan i come to the boot chose screen what to chose

and very thanks about yours time ...

You didn't say how big your hard drive is.
Perhaps you would do best to boot off your Fedora disk
and let the install partition your disk for you. Then quit the install
and boot the Slack install disk.

When Slack install gives you the boot prompt, just hit enter.
It will boot and then ask for a login, type root
Then type setup and follow the instructions.

i didnt understand you ... soory

Well try this,

boot Slackware disk 1

When it says "boot" type:

bare.i root=/dev/hda1 noinitrd ro

If that boots the machine, try to log in as root with the password you gave
during the install process.
