burning the slackware

I've just downloaded the slackware 9.1 from an ftp, and its about 1.3+ GB, how should I split it up so I can burn in on CDs?

You can download Slackware in the form of .iso files. Look for a directory on the ftp server called slackware-9.1-iso or something like that.

U should download ISO images if u want to install Slackware from CDs (from directory slackware-9.1-iso). If u downloaded content of directory slackware-9.1 u will have to create boot disk and install slackware from hard drive but it will be more difficult. If u r on fast connection i would suggest u to download ISO images, u need only these two:
slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso
slackware-9.1-install-d2.iso

If you already downloaded the files, just follow the directions on rolling your own.

I want to install the slackware via hard-disk, I created the boot and the root disks but when, after I do cfdisk I hit setup but when the main installation thingy appears it asks for an cd to read from (all the packages and stuff). any suggestions?

there should be an option to install from hard disk someplace.
