Zipslack problem

[Jes and guide dog Harley]

Yes, I am using win 98  s e and I am running it in dos mode, or, trying too.
For some reason I get a kernel panic unable to mount root fs or something to that affect.

Are you doing this from a dos box, or from ms-dos mode? You need to
start zipslack from ms-dos mode, not from a dos box under windows.
