I just fixed up an old computer i have had sitting around my house for awhile and i wanted to install linux onto it. It is a 233Mhz Pentium MMX, 64M RAM and 4.3G hard drive. I decided on Slakware 4.0. I made the boot and root disks and am able to boot up and make my partitions on the hard drive easy enough. I then burned all of the disk sets on to a CDC so i could install it from a CD. When i instruct setup to use the cd-rom as the source media i get errors that it can now find the disk sets. I have been trying other methods, such as copying everything from the CD on the hard drive and installing from there, but i cant seem to get that to work either.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

hobbes487; bit of advice, increase ram linux thrives on memroy lots, then redo setup may have some mis config. check it out. do a little bit at a time
to avoid errors. do it methodically.

I realized i had some typos in my post that could be confusing. When i try to install off of the CD it CAN'T find the disk sets to install. Each of the disk sets are burned to their own directory in the root directory of the CD. I don't understand why it can't find them.

if no one has any ideas on what to do, are there any suggestions on another distro i should try with my machine.

Hobbes - Slackware 4????? You are making things too hard on yourself - get Slack 9.1 or 10, either will work on your system.

Check your disks - did they burn correctly? Did you verify your iso images first?
