I guess you are doing this on a CD, so I do not know if it is much different from setting things up on a hard drive. The Slackware setup utility includes selections for formatting a drive partition, including an error checking option--error checking is much, much slower than the fast format option, but it does actually check the hard drive for errors. Maybe you need to do something on the CD? I hope this helps. -- Ralph. N6BNO.
