Irv, I tried what you said, and got all of the correct answers, but I hadn't given full permissions to the euphoria directories and sub-directories, but that didn't help either. I was wondering if it was because I wasn't actually using a ext2 file system on this, but a umsdos file system, but when I installed that older copy (slackware 96) it was on an ext2 filesystem, and it didn't work there either. Anyway, it didn't help any. Still nothing happens. I read that Slackware tries to be the most Posix complient of the bunch, wonder if that is it??? I have been trying to install a copy of Debian that I had laying around and was doing great up until I got to the make a boot disk part, then it gave up the ghost. I was going "Wow, this thing installs like a charm, wish Slackare had been like that" right up to that point (The final and most important point, as I am using it as a second hard disk), and want the boot disk to boot past Winblows, so I can download stuff onto my Win hard disk, and then mount it and copy it up to the Linux disk, but retain my hard disk as is with no modifying. Anyway, a friend of mine has already burned me a Redhat 6.0 disk and I will have it QUITE soon. Still would be interesting to know if I am doing something wrong, or if it is an incompatibility. Thanks again Monty
