I do remember sending you a CD of a linux distribution but in all honesty I do not recall sending Slackware. Knowing that you were new to linux I believe I would have sent something a little easier, maybe Suse. The free version of Suse is now openSuse. Slackware is not really hard to install but at the time it did not have a simple GUI installer and involved a lot of choices during the install. Back then if linux did not want to install there were a couple of quick edits that could easily be done during the boot process that would have probably worked. I do not remember if you asked for help trying to install or not. Now, I rarely have any problems installing linux on any machine. It just seems to work.
