Hey folks, It's been a while and my Linux is rusty. I want to install
Slakware from CD-ROM. I have an LS120 UHD drive instead of a standard floppy
and my boot kernel won't load. My set-up is:

hda: FAT32 Windoze98
hdb: LS120
hdc: Brand new empty 4.3Gb Fujitsu HDD, waiting for Linux!
hdd: ATAPI CD-ROM

I want someone to tell me I don't have to open my box-up (pleeeez :-|). I
don't care if I can't use the LS-120 once I've got Linux loaded. I just want
to install it. My BIOS will ley me pick up to three boot devices in any
order, including the LS-120.

(Reply via Email appreciated)
Cheers anyone
