Slack
I'm having an issue installing Slackware.
I find a fast ftp site and down loaded bare.i color.gz and network.dsk
I ran rawrite to build bare.i and network.dsk diskettes without any error.
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/rootdisks
color.gz is about 2.2 mb but I'll have faith that this will write properly
5 diskettes later I _can't_ get one that will write.
so I format a diskette (windows 98)
******************************
d:\slack\format a:
Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)?
1,457,664 bytes total disk space
1,457,664 bytes available on disk
512 bytes in each allocation unit.
2,847 allocation units available on disk.
Volume Serial Number is 1A24-11ED
Format another (Y/N)?n
D:\slack>rawrite
RaWrite 1.3 - Write disk file to raw floppy diskette
Enter source file name: color.gz
Enter destination drive: a
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press -ENTER- :
Number of sectors per track for this disk is 18
Writing image to drive A:. Press ^C to abort.
*Bad sector detected Sector: 1 or 16 or 77...*
I down load another color.gz from another site.
color.gz is about 2.5 mb
I get the same message every time I attempt to rawrite color.gz
***********************
I go back to the slackware ftp site
go in to slackware 7
the color.gz is about 1.3 megabytes
****************************
Down load all new from slackware 7
Same problem WTF!
Now after closing the command prompt and trying again the color.gz would
write
what was different?
doskey.
AHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
