Well I've had another bad experience. Last night I tried 8 times to
install Slakware 4.0. It may be something I'm doing, but its not working.
A friend of mine made a CD for me with all the Slakware software on it, (and
then some) and his installation (on another cd that he made right before
mine) went perfectly...mine on the other hand had multiple errors when
installing the disk sets. The error (which I didn't write down, and being in
tech support I should have known to do that) was something along the lines
of "Error writing (or uncompressing, I'm not sure) file, invalid (or
unstable compression format)" This is while its reading from the CD. We're
not sure if its a bad cd, he's going to make another one today and get it to
me by lunch, and I'll install it at home tonight, but I was just wondering
if anyone else has any experience with this situation. Any thoughts would
be greatly appreciated.
We're also looking at the fact that maybe my hardware isn't
compatible, however it Runs from Boot and Root disks, setup runs, it fdisks
and formats the hard drive and detects my CD rom durring setup. I'm running
out of Ideas and if I absolutely can't get it running on my desktop, I'm
going to try on my laptop instead.
Laptop specs:
Toshiba 2620
AMD K6-2 300Mhz
64MB Ram
24x CD-ROM
56K Internal Data/Voice/Fax modem
Dual Scan LCD
2MB Video Card
Any thoughts? Opinions...sorry for flooding the list with my newbie
problems :)
