In other words, just type net config.

If it doesn't detect your driver mount your windows partition and (I think) it will attempt to use the windows .INF file.

Installing slack is a breeze. You can even pick which packages you want and alternatively switch to another console while the install is running.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Just made up a really corny slogan:
Installing Slackware is like having sex; you don't know what the hell you're doing the first time around.
Hitmen: art is gay

You never know what you're doing the first time you do anything, that's what learning is all about.

Or just partition it with cfdisk or fdisk

Stick in disk 1.

cfdisk
Linux: ext3, disk space - 1GB
Linux Swap: 1GB

Write, exit.

setup
Self explanitory. If you need help, call me.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

So to review, Joe, you want him to use 2 gb and leave 7gb of his 9gb hard drive empty?
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

Just to be a little more helpful than Myndfyre, the sensible way to do it would be:
Linux Swap: 1GB
Linux: ext3, disk space - Everything else

iago, are you going to have a day off or something this week[end] where I can set it up?  You, Newby, or Warrior are the only ones that've offered.. or at least been helpful enough with the commands.

The only reason why people think *nix is difficult is because nothing is as simple as a point and click, but if you actually take a minute or two to go through a few man's, then you'll be fine.  The installations usally assume that you have prior experience with computers, but in no way do they make it so that you have to have a degree in computer science to understand it.  You should be fine.

You may have noticed that I haven't been on AIM lately.  I've been spending almost all my time doing homework.  And the rest of it attending to real life issues.  And the last of it playing Neverwinter Nights.  I don't know when I'll be around, but next week is no better than this week.

Yeah, I've read the manual before. And it's kind of confusing.. it lists a load of stuff which I'm not sure pertains to me or not.. and do I really have to make a boot disk for slackware install?
