slackware 12.0

[Alex Snow]

Yeah, there's a bug in the installer that fails to eject the cd after 
packages are copied from disk 2.  I found though that when you get the 
error that it can't copy the kernel, if you swap cds right then (you 
may have to umount the cd and remount it after the swap), then press 
enter, it copies everything just fine.  THis took me a while to get 
past when I first installed slackware 12...

'Mounting' is used for three things: climbing on a horse, linking in a
hard disk unit in data systems, and, well, mounting during sex.
