I had similar errors installing slackware 9.1 here myself thing is though the main installation cd disk 1 was mungged. I've a sneaking suspission the rest were to but to what extent I know not. I thank aaron cannon for sending them to me in any case and if I hadn't had those problems of packages being corrupt, I think I would have stayed with slackware for longer than a week. -- Shaun Oliver "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person." email: shaun_oliver at optusnet.com.au WEB: http://blindman.homelinux.org/ IRC: irc.awesomechat.net:6666 IRCNICK: blindman
