I'd use slackware if it implemented kernel 2.6* in the stable version.
You'd think they would've done this already since 2.6+ has been out for quite a while, but oh well. |

Yeah, hopefully the next stable version will include kernel 2.6.*.

I'm trying to install slackware 10.2 on my computer. I created the swap and linux partitions and ran the setup program but the installation just hangs while installing packages. What can be wrong?

Are you sure that it is actually hanging? Have you left it a while? If it has crashed, try to make the partitions again and reinstall (its not hard to make partitions the second time over).

I waited for about half an hour but there was no progress. I tried again twice but then again it hanged. Then i tried just a minimal installation i.e. just the kernel and a few utilities and it somehow finished installation. Now, i'm manually installing the required packages.

Are you sure it hangs there are very few hints of progress if your hard drive light is blinking it's probably runing. If not beats me.
