That could be another problem i running it off of the dvd iso i was to lazy to dl all 6 cds so i just waited for that one big file to dl. Another thing my friend said he made is own kernel and doesn't know how to help me with it since i have scsi lol. What are friends for lol.

For the kernel modules on huge26.s you will just need to mount your DVD after the install and navigate to the directory on the dvd which has the kernel modules, the directory is /extra
My procedures should work the same for the DVD.
When you log-on as root type:

#mount /mnt/dvd

That will mount your dvd. Then you will need to navigate to your dvd

#cd /mnt/dvd

go to the extra directory on your dvd and install the packages I mentioned before. To install the packages you will use the installpkg command

p.s. Just for the heck of it I tried installing the 2.6.18 kernel on one of my Slackware boxes. It worked fine:-)

Sorry for bringing this post alive, but I would just like to say thanks for the help I gotten to the point where I am familiar with Linux aka I never installed it before just used it lol, but I have also done some reading on Swap Partitions.

During my setup i failed to create a swap partition, from reading the help file it seemed like only people with low memory would benefit from this one. I have a gig of Ram is it necessary that I have a swap partition. Thank You.

Yes. You need a swap partition.

Hi! I have a pentium 166 with Adaptec Scsi card. My first scsi hard disk drive is on the id 1 and my scsi cdrom is on id 3. I have make a boot disk with the kernel adaptec.s for installing Slackware 11 because my computer wan't boot from the cdrom.

When I boot with the floppy disk I have the prompt boot:

I'm a new user of Linux.

How can I tell to load the cdrom to start the install of Slackware ? I's a new installation

Should I mount my cdrom ?

Thank you !

Hehe I done the swap partition with three others since lol, sorry for asking a noob question like that it does the same function as dumprep in windows, so I see the reason for it now.

You need to make the floppy disks install.1 install.2 from the rootdisks directory on the cdrom. They can be made from windows with the RAWRITEXP.EXE program or other RAWxxx.EXE as appropriate on the CD. They will install enough of a system that you can continue from your CD. The setup program should find your cdrom drive. Typically your hard drive would be /dev/sda and the cdrom /dev/sdb. With just the boot disk you can't mount as there is no file system on the drive until the install process builds it. The file rootdisks/README.txt will assist you.

Ok but after booting with the boot disk, should I press the ENTER key to start the install.1 and the install.2 floppy disk or if I should enter some parameters ?
