Apologies if the answer to this is well know, but I can't find it in the 
various how to files I've read.


I'm trying to install Linux from the new Que Using Linux book, which 
uses Slackware V2.

So far I can setup the Boot and Root disk, partition the hard disks and
run setup and create the Fifo loader and the Linux boot disk.

However, when I come to boot the machine totally locks up at the 
CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regions of the University of Calafornia
prompt.

I've reinstalled this about six different ways, to both my hard disk c
hard disk d, with minimum setup and lots of things added. The result is 
the same everytime.

I am now totally buggered what to do next.

I got this to learn UNIX, so am not ready to start major editing of files 
just yet - but a pointer to what I am doing wrong or to the right HOW TO 
file would help a lot.

Regards all and any advice appreciated
