[b]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. [/quote:5008bc2c36]
But you learn nothing about Linux. That is one of the reasons I like Gentoo. There is no hand holding during the installation (although the installation guide is *the* best I have ever seen). You learn a lot about what actually happens during an installation, you configure your own kernel, it's all pretty funky really.
