Hi Ummmmm, is this during installation? Are you using text.gz or color.gz? Have you identified the correct CD Rom type? Have you told Slackware which device to use i.e. /dev/hdb etc? Did you get as far as package selection? I recall having a similar problem and had to use another terminal to mount the CD Rom. But I can't remember why this was so.

I'm trying to install slackware 7.1 using the dec express synth. I've managed to get the synth working, but get the error " can not access the CDROM, ensure that it is mounted on /var/adm/mount, and that all of the sub directories are accessible. " or something to that effect. The strange thing is that prior to this error message, I can here the CDROM being accessed. Can some one tell me what I'm stupidly doing wrong? Thanks in advance Regards Mo. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
