well i did it. after having slack 8.0 sitting on my drive for about a year i got it to work
. let me explain .. i downloaded it and installed slack but some files were corrupted and not knowing about md5sum or this web sight i removed slack and continued with lfs. lfs is great!!! it's small fast and easy to configer but upgrading is well doing it all over again. so after learning tons about linux i thought i'd give slack a second chance, this time with all the files intact. well now the fun begins configering slack. mmm er maybe i'll wait and get slack 9.0
