Boots fine, loads kernal fine, login as root, try to run cfdisk and get
"Opened disk in read-only - you have no permission to write"
error message. I hit enter to continue and am presented with :
"Do you wish to start with a zero table?"
I have _some_ x experience but am new to Slack.
Thanks in advance!

Just make sure you specify what disk you are going to work with:
It tends to do this when messing around with scsi. It is probably defaulting to your first /dev/hdX device which in this case is your CDrom. (Hence the read-only thing)
It is a small bug in the scripting. It is only built to look for EIDE devices... so when you type 'cfdisk' it defaults to /dev/hdX . Needs to check to see if you have scsi devices.. oh welll.. where would we be without some bugs?
