Hi

Ummmmm, is this during installation?
* Yep

Are you using text.gz or color.gz?
* text.gz

Have you identified the correct CD Rom type?
* yep, option 1

Have you told Slackware which device to use i.e. /dev/hdb etc?  Did you get
as far as package selection?
* yep, the drive is /dev/hdb and I did get to the point of package
selection. When I press enter to select all, and then select y to prompt me
for each package installation, the error appears there after.


I recall having a similar problem and had to use another terminal to mount
the CD Rom.  But I can't remember why this was so.

* any suggestions as what to do nex, I feel beaten by this dam computer!!!

Gena

Hi,

Can someone help me!!!!

I'm trying to install slackware 7.1 using the dec express synth. I've
managed to get the synth working, but get the error " can not access the
CDROM, ensure that it is mounted on /var/adm/mount, and that all of the sub
directories are accessible. " or something to that effect.
The strange thing is that prior to this error message, I can here the CDROM
being accessed.

Can some one tell me what I'm stupidly doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Mo.
