by I spent last night downloading the basic bits of the Slackware Linux
system.. I got the bare.gz, color144.gz, rawrite.exe, sets a ap d.
I went through the process of creating the two boot disks, and went
throught the tiresome repartitioning of my hard disk.. my system is :-
Cyrix DX2 66
514 mb HD
4 mb memory
vga screen
I made the dos partition 250mb.
So I booted from the linux disks, all was happy, it said it was version
2.1.0 (if that makes a difference) and eventually got to the login
prompt.
I then logged in as root, and ran fdisk to create the swap disk...
which I added as /dev/hda2 +16m type 82. I then created the linux
partition as /dev/hda3 +150m. wrote this info away with a w and
it finished and was happy!
did the following...
mkswap -c /dev/hda2 17??? (No of blocks taken from fdisk p option).
then
swapon /dev/hda2
all happy!
Then I ran setup.. and went through the options, setting keyboard to
uk, source as floppy, object as /dev/hda3, selected the a ap and d sets to
install, and started it off. all ok for a while, but then I keep
getting cd and chmod errors all over the place. is this what normally
happens, is something wrong, is there any way to fix it ? is there
a newer version ?
help!
Adrian
