Greetings!

I'm newcomer to slackware. i've istalled this distro before (like 4 years ago) and really liked, however, was just a fresh install to "check it out" and then installed ubuntu.

Now i want to go back to this distro ( i do like it )

ISSUE: just as the tittle says.

1. Boot live slack
2. Login as root
3. Open terminal
4. run this script http://www.slackware.com/~alien/liveslak/setup2hd
5. I get this message:

>Before you can install software, complete the following tasks:
> Mount your Live media partition on /mnt/livemedia.
"
(terminal auto-close)
then i try to mount...

>mkdir livemedia (ok)
>mount -t auto -v /dev/sdb1 /mnt/livemedia

then i get this message...

>mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or /mnt/livemedia busy

Then i think "oh great, i can run setup2hd now"

open terminal-> paste setup2hd script

then i get this message... again...

>Before you can install software, complete the following tasks:
> Mount your Live media partition on /mnt/livemedia.

I'm not able to download the big 2-3GB iso, i can't do net install (really bad internet connection) So please, don't suggest a bigger iso to try...

I know there's something I'm doing wrong.

Can you help me? Please :

regards.

Dose this mean "Mount your Live media partition on /mnt/livemedia. cd/dvd" to /mnt/livemedia

I'm using a usb stick, and not a dvd, the code you provide work with the usb?

I found this

http://blog.spiralofhope.com/6084/fi....22-unexpected

and all these errors
"install_on_usb.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" (solved "sudo bash intall_on..." instead of "sudo sh install_on..."
"gdisk: command not found" (Solved installing gdisk)
"dialog: command not found" (Solved installing dialog)

were solved thnx to it.

I'll try now to run the setup maybe now it works.

"Mount your Live media partition on /mnt/livemedia." ..

where /dev/sdxx is your usb address
use
blkid or sudo blkid to find it.

to see if everything is in that directory, if it is already mounted , then did you try just moving onto the next step?

Or why don't you just download the dvd iso version of Slackware and install it from that?

look here on same problem
"mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or /mnt/livemedia busy"
I googled just that message,
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2132058

are you using the usb while trying to install?
mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or /mnt/livemedia busy

IS this what you are trying to do off of this page
