Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and to slackware. I've been trying to install it on my Dell Latitude D630 as part of a multiboot, but it's not finding the unpartioned space I've left for it when I use cfdisk. I'm wondering if if it can't see the hard drive at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?
