[Gloucs] Problem while installing Slackware 8.1

[Alex Craddock]

Trying it, but I'll remind you that I am using the linux 'version' that you 
get when you boot from the installation cd, it is only supposed to be used 
to change partitions, then you are supposed to type setup to actually 
install slackware, the problem i thought was that it didn't spend long 
enough installing Slackware, so basically it didn't install it but it said 
that it did.  I'll try the other stuff though.
