I have had some problems installing Linux
I can't get either Slackware or Red Hat to work

I have a Pentium 100 + 24Mb + 200Mb HDD (for Linux) and EIDE CDROM

Slackware - I chose the IDECD boot image and COLOR root disks
I boot off of the boot disk and then then I get the boot
prompt.  It tells me to enter any additional parameters and/or press RETURN 
to continue - not to change disks yet.  Since I have nothing to give it I 
press return and it trys to load the ramdisk and gives errors.  I cant get 
past the boot prompt.

Red Hat - I created a disk that supports no SCSI, IDE CDROM, Other (NE2000) 
ethernet.  I boot from this disk and do linux root=/dev/cdrom ramdisk = 256 
to install my CDROM.

Now I cannot remember the exact problem but it mounted the root filesystem 
off of the CDROM and then just stopped doing anything - would not go any 
further.  The last message was something like 
VFS: mounted root as readonly (ISO ????)


What cannot I get any futher than the first disk - I have checked the disk 
images and they are correct for my machine.

Am I not doing something correctly ??? - I will try it again and repost what 
messages I get.
