[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

Are you suggesting that we can't boot from a hard drive partition with
loadlin any more?

Hi.  I just tried it with no problems.  I was able to use the option
install from floppy which is the one you should use especially if you boot
up with a speakup enabled-kernel.  I used the color.gz root image from the
slackware-current tree.

floppy, cdrom or boot floppy and an option for skip. now, whichever option i
chose, or even if i press cancel, i am placed back in the install kernel
dialog box; it goes round and round in circles. has anyone else had this
problem using the color.gz and speakup.i from the slackware-current tree?
