Hi, Rodney, You have to download the .iso image to burn an installable cdrom of slackware linux 8.0 the file is called install.iso. the url to get it is: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/isos/ the two other files, extra.iso and source.iso, you don't need them unless you want them. to be sure you got everything, I would redownload the iso image install.iso. -- Bill Gaughan wgaughan at snet.net On Wed, 5 Dec 2001, Rodney wrote: > Hello all. > > I just downloaded Slackware 8 onto my hard drive.
