After a lot of hassle, I finally managed to download & burn the slackware 9.1 install cds.

Why did this happen? I formatted two of my partitions & used an existing partition for swap space. I did not 'enable' the swap partition though as did not think it necessary.
What should I do to try to avoid this again??
