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.*.

Oh yes was it a good idea to use bare.i as my kernal because the machine is ide should have used something else?

Just curious.

Build your own, vanilla is available at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ but your distro will have its own diff patches - make menuconfig and you're away

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.

Sorry for asking another question...
But when i type "cfdisk" i get a massage saying something like: "Hard disk opened read-only, you have no permission to write."
After that, i continue the guide normally, but the wierd thing is that there is no except 600 mb unpartitioned space...

what went went wrong here?...Thank you

Edit: my hard disk is only 15GB

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.
