Hello, I recently booted up Slackware, and, after following all the instruction (partition HD, Swap, media type, etc.) I finally began the installation process, using the "install everything" feature. Almost immediately after the installation process began, I was hit with a "FATAL ERROR" for basically every package that came up, saying that it could not be found, or something else had happened so that it couldn't be read. I just kept hitting enter, but it came up for every package. What do I do? thanks in advance for your help.
Data errors when reading the CD, the cause ranging from the CD being dirty to the CD being damaged and part of it, like the section where the packages are stored, being unreadable. If you can, you want to try to read the entire CD on some computer just to make sure that the entire CD can be read.

I'm not sure if I used LVM, I just booted from the first CD and used CFDISK. The partitioning seemed to work fine, but the installation didn't.
