It won't install. It gets to the point in the attached pic, and halts. I've installed this before, but it WAS on a different machine, and it was v9 I think. Any idea what's up? I've let it sit there for 10 minutes or so, but it won't budge...

Slackware 10 hated me to, so I went with Red hat 9. If there are no slackware users here you can try some slackware forums. You might want to try a different disc or maybe a different hdd if possible. I wish I could be of more help.

You might have to do an interactive startup. I had to do that with Mandrake on a laptop, it wouldn't start either. Disabling PCMCIA through the interactive startup allowed it to start (it would halt at PCMCIA in the interactive startup, so I decided to disable it on further tries)

What's 'interactive startup'? And if I can't get this to work at all, then I'll have to try another one :-/
haha, i see your havin linux probs! ;)
you should have went with Mandrake 10 since its so user friendly and easy to install. but if you want to keep trying to install go here:

they are real helpful for any type of linux problems. Slack is also good for your first distro, its usually the distro for people who know what they are doing.
