I've just downloaded boot/root slackware disks tring to install new
version and am comming across the following message.

Insert ramdisk floppy & press <return>    after booting the bare boot disk.
if I insert the root (color) disk I get the following error messages.
Corrupted input
RAMDISK: gzip header not found - Continuing with converentional load.
<LOTS OF NORMAL STUFF>
Kernel panic VFS Unable to mount root fs on 21:00

The machine is a 100MHz pentium with 16M ram and ide HDD.
I've currently have slackware loaded on it from AUG 1995 CD-ROM and
want to reload the drive with ELF system.

Any ideas ?

Best regards
