Im totally unfamiliar with LINUX and this has been a hard fought install spanning 2 weeks.I chose zipslack as the base for my setup because I want to maintain a DOS partion until Im good to go with LINUX,the bootdisk.img did not support my sound card/CDrom setup so I had to insmod cm206,after that I typed, mount /dev/cm206cd /cdrom,again everything seemed OK,it reported back that it was mounting cm206 as special block device and mounting read only.So I type setup and choose source media which is CDrom(I want to add X)I starts to install then stops with errors like,TAR:.:could not change access and modification times :operation not permitted NTAR:.:cannot change mode to 0755 :op.not permitted TAR:.:cannot chown to uid 0 gid 0 :op.not permitted TAR:.:error exit delayed from previous errors.

I don't know if there are special constraints with zipslack, but normally you would mount a cdrom to a mount point you choose or create, such as a folder named /mnt/cdrom. The command to mount it might look like this: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom. Then to unmount it you would type umount /mnt/cdrom. It sounds like it is a attached to your sound card's ide port. When I had an arrangement like that, my cdrom was recognized as hdg, so this command would mount it: mount /dev/hdg /mnt/cdrom.

Did you burn zipslack to a cdrom? According to Slackware's site, zipslack is supposed to be copied to a dos partition then unzipped. After you do that, it's installed. All you have to do is decide how to boot it: loadlin or a boot disk. I believe you're getting those errors because it's trying to write to the cdrom.

Sorry dudes still no luck,Ive given up on zipslack for the moment,I ordered mandrake 8.0 yesterday,I know Im a puss but I got to get something going here.I feel like it will all sink in if I have a chance to acually do something rather than wander around a command prompt that is unfamiliar with no clear goal.Atleast if I can work with my files and do my regular work Ill learn.Thanks anyway.
