There's nothing you really need to do. Backup all your data and then go and install Ubuntu, choosing to reformat the partitions you used for Slack. If you don't want to use the same partitioning scheme, just delete those partitions and make new ones. Ubuntu's should let you install the bootloader to the MBR, so you shouldn't have problems with that.

Why would you need a picture? Ubuntu has a nice gui step-by-step install.

as a last attempt at your installation of ubuntu ... these are what i just found ::

http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/net/nictools-pci

http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapp...nictools-nopci
this one probably for isa based cards ...

no harm give it a last shot if your card is settable at all ... if fried , just get a(or a few) new/used one ... they are cheap ... not worth it to give up because of one net-card ...

//hmm ... guess that dos is dead ...

[EDIT ::]after reading more of your posting ... theres one thing i found funny ... why do you need to delete your slackware ?? it doesnt make any sense ...

i want to delete my slack because i haven't any space for ubuntu
and what about the links you posted
i don't understand any thing from it

those are diagnostic tools for net cards ... have been trying to list the card parameters but fail with "operation not allowed" , i i still donno why ...

anyway i tried some short testing with rtl8139b(compex) , rtl8029(donno the brand) , intel utp controller(compaq but forgotten to note down the intel no.) and dfe-530tx(vt3043 rhine) on ubuntu ... all of these work except for that rtl8139b which is kind of like very brand new ... i havent try 3com but i believe it should works well enough ...

i think you should get yourself another netcard ... all of my net card are used cards and they are cheap enough ...

//goodluck with your attempts ...
