Hmmm... something else must be wrong with your installation...

Ahh... About 2 months ago I tried zipslack too. Just for fun I wanted to
test it. For some reason I got the same messages about root persmissions
when I tried to install packages.
But since I didn't really want to continue with a umsdos installation I
didn't look into it. I simply did a regular installation in a Linux
native partition with a 2ext filesystem.
So maybe the easy way out of this, is for you to do the same.
If for some reason you want to keep DOS/windows on the machine, than you
need to shrink your FAT partion.
First run DOS defrag (or windows in safe mode) and than run FIPS.
