[Discuss] installpkg error #2

[Kari Kostamo]

If all the other Live CDs are working, then I would think your CD Rom is
working fine.  If you were going to get read errors you should have problems
running the live CDs

hmm. well, if you mean for slackware, i'll look for it. but live cds do work
on my system. ubuntu (although terribly slow to load and operate at first,
live) does work. dsl and knoppix work. and i think xandros worked before i
installed it (can't remember if i ran it live).

but i'll look for a live one of slackware... and i found it. will let you
know if my system is found worthy.

chyahs.
