Slackware 9.1 burn problem

killercyrax · 05-30-2004, 07:44 AM

I downloaded slackware and burned it using nero at 40x,24x,4x and everytime it was finished there would be errors on the cd and it wouldnt boot. I downloaded slackware from linuxiso.org and im not sure how to get this to work.

Maybe your ISO image is damaged.
Download another one.

is the BIOS set to boot the CDROM?

Try creating a floppy boot disc. that should work indefnetly. You'll find the fdd boot images and documentation on the first installation disc of Slackware.

Are you sure you burned it as an "image" in nero?

Im postive i burned it as an image..If i make a boot disc am i going to have to use that everytime to get slack started?

nope. boot the machine with the fdd and the slack CD1 loaded in and then prompted for login and whatnot just do the usiall install. You should be fine.

Have you checked the md5sums on your downloads?
