Unable to install Slackware on old computer from Floppy

Hi All,
I'm attempting to install Linux on my (old) computer, seeing it cant boot from CD-Rom, Im using bare.i (Correct name?), then install.1 and install.2, I've formatted my HD and all, but when I get to install it, it says its installed it...but nothings installed.
I have the iso 1 CD inserted into my CD Drive also.

I you don't understand what im on about...Just ask, because im a Linux n00b (Well, Slackware n00b)

Thanks in Advance,

Try something like this:

That way you can boot from CD anytime using floppy.

if i understand him right, that's not the problem. he already got to setup.

LOT: can you mount, read and write files both to your harddisk and your cdrom drive?

how far did you get? http://slackbook.org/html/installation-setup.html
