    If you can't boot from CD, you can make a boot disk that will start the installation for you. It may be called boot.img in a certain folder with all kinds of stuff for floppy disks. I would look it up on the CD to give you the exact location but I can't find it at this moment.

    Pop the floppy in, put cd1 in, turn on/restart comp and you're set.

    Hmm sometimes it has a fatal error writing one of the files and I have to start all over again how would I go about fixing this error?

    If it takes a fatal error at the same place every time when you burn one of the ISOs then it could be a corrupted file. You'd have to download it again, but before you do at least try the burn again with a fresh CD.

    I recommend checking the md5sum before (and possibly after) burning.

    Good luck with Slackware, it's not meant to be for a beginer to Linux.
