Hi guys, I'm installing slackware on a 486 (what's wrong with this boy, you are thinking, is he installing Linux on every machine he can get his filthy hands on? That's right!). Anyway, this probably is not a Slackware problem but here we go: I have a 486 with 8 MB of RAM running Slackware with Kernel 2.2. I'm installing from floppies and only packages A and N. I want to set this up as my DHCP server. I will probably add another 8 MB of RAM tomorrow and a network card. It has a 220 MB HD. Whenever I try using cfdisk, I get the error: "Bus error", and sent back at the prompt. I tried fdisk, and it worked. Typing setup however caused the screen to scroll a quazillion "Bus errors". Reading around, I found some mention about Dos 6.x and the way it works with Fdisk but the comments were rather small (I'll have to find that URL about it again), and that it didn't work with Linux's fdisk. So out of curiosity, I booted in DOS, via floppy, and fdisketted the drive. I deleted the partitions made originally with Linux's fdisk, thinking that perhaps, that would help. No avail. I tried, out of curiosity, to install Win95 on to the 486 (via a CD-rom I temporarely hooked on to it). Windows 95 works, and reports no errors. What am I doing wrong? Anyone knows where I can find more documentation if this is perhaps an fdisk problem?
