So I have acquired some old dos disks off ebay, but the lilo seems reluctant to move. It seems that it is still there
from the ubuntu installation. I have tried to remove it along with everything else by trying FORMAT C: This does
not work.
What you might want to try from the DOS prompt is
fdisk /mbr
This should wipe out the mbr as explained here

You should then be able to install slackware

I have looked at the slackware manual, the slackbook, but the section covering zipslack does not go into great
detail, and only covers the slack part of the bargain.
As I see it there are two possible options.
1) get the lilo off the system (somehow), install dos, load up zipslack, unzip it etc. I would need to create a dos
bootdisk and install it to the right place. Then I could proceed with the zipslack installation as laid out in the
manual.
2) get the libetto hooked up to a high speed internet connection, and get into an operational position whereby a
linux distro could be installed directly onto it.
Any ideas anyone?
