Booting Slax

I am a complete nOOb to linux and slackware.

PLZ HELp

I'll take a stab at it.

Without knowing more, I'd guess you have a corrupted CD. At what speed did you burn it? Does the error message come up at a certain point during boot up? Does it come up in that same place every time? Did you do a md5sum check tp make sure the ISO was the right size before burning?

If the md5sum does not check out, you'll need to re-download the ISO and make sure it is the correct size. Good Luck.

Agreed... sounds like bad media, or a bad burn to me, too. Try burning at a slower speed if the ISO checksum is good.

thanx
I did burn it a bit high (40x)
What speed is the best?

I'll try reburning it.
If that don't work I'll redownload it.

Thanx a whole bunch

What speed is the best?

I never burn over 14x. It takes a little longer, but to me it's worth it if you can avoid a bad burn.

I think it was a bad burn, the cd-r was new.

As it turns out I had it deleted after what I thought was a sucessfull burn.

Which means I have to download it, again.

Oh well, what I now know helps alot.

Thanx to all

Matt
