Guess what? I installed Slackware 8.1, using the 5 diskettes and the 8.1 iso. So far so good.
....meanwhile.......some hours later........
Given additional experience I reinstalled SuSE 8.0. The installation is much more automated than Slackware and the packages are nearly as recent. I find SuSE 8.0 a better choice for me. It is convenient that SuSE mounts all my drives and displays the fat partitions, automatically. Like to checkout Slackware after its next major upgrade. SuSE beats Red Hat 7.3 and Mandrake 8.2 for ease of installation too.
