Hello, I'm tired of looking at the blinking cursor while the swap disk is being "initialized"... It just sits there doing nothing for as long as I care to leave it there.
Sooo, I tried creating the swap partition again, and this time I told it to check for bad sectors [which I had already done with dos's scandisk before even trying the install] and it seemed to run this time, but again bombed, with a message that says OOPS: 0 and a lot of other binary dump stuff that I don't have a clue how to read. I then tried to install with no swap disk after removing the partition for it. I created only a root partition, and a logical partition for data, etc... Once again, I get the bomb with the message "file system not created" when I try to initialize either of these partitions. OUCH! Can anyone help me figure this out so I can get on with my experience of learning Linux? [be gentle, I'm an old dos/windows user so I'm green with Linux] I'm trying to install on my old 386 with 32 meg of ram, a Quantum 340AT, and a Maxtor 7120AT drive. I have the slave/master jumpers on these drives set correctly. There is also a Panasonic CD rom drive with Panasonics' proprietary interface card, and a 512K ATI VGA 1024 video card in the system. Thanks for any help you can be, and THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GET AWAY FROM WINDOWS. 8-)
