Hi everyone,

I really really need help.

I am new to LINUX, and I have read the FAQ but I cannot find a solution.

I purchase a copy of "Unleash LINUX" book, and thinking I could learn
or get more information about LINUX.  Unfortunately, I cannot even get
pass the first stage of the installation.  This book comes with one
CD (it has Slakware 2.2 with Xfree86 on it).

The problem I have is...

   After the bootup, instead of getting this message

   Slakware login:

   I have,

   (none) login:

I try to ignore the different and login as "root".  I got a "#" prompt
as expected, but then I simply cannot do anything from this point on.
That is, "fdisk" or "setup" command is not found.

My system configuration is
   486-33 with 16Mb, SBPro, Ne200 network card, Tseng ET400 (not Local bus)
   2 HD with 4 partitions (and thinking of using the last partition
   for Linux), ie, the "f:" drive.

I have copy the whole "Slakware" sub-directory onto the "f:" drive as well.

Would someone suggest what have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion,
Vi
