Thank you both for your answers, man they were quick too! I'll do that. I'm still pretty new it all this, but I just got an old pentium 100 with 16 megs ram on it, not much, but it had winblows 98 on it, so this was the first time I installed slackware on a non-winblows partitioa. Thanks again for answering a beginner's question... there'll be more soon. Cheereo!
