[linux-help] Re: I forgot to mention.

["Jim Vetor" <jvetor1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a terrible time trying to install Slackware. One day by accident I 
made the complete drive root with no other partitions and the install went 
off without a hitch.

what was I doing wrong.

The problem I had with slackware is most files that I had worked with in 
Mandrake were either different or not there. I just had a terrible time 
finding things or knowing how to manually change settings.

I needed a working system so went back to Mandrake. When I get my older 
system back working I would like to install Slackware and try to learn it. I 
have a friend who swears by Slackware and that is his main desktop. To bad 
he lives so fare away. :>) I have only been messing with Linux a little over 
a year off and on. CU
