Have been trying to create a boot disk for Linux Slackware. Have tried
several Image files. When using RAWRITE the disk is created just fine,
but when booting I get the LOLA and then go on to the   boot:
prompt.
After pressing enter, I get an error of   Invalid Compression Format
when starting Linux. System Halted....   What am I missing? Anyhelp
here for a WannaBe Linux user would be appreciated.

TIA  wolfe.....
