Slackware 12 - Help Installing

mHelmy
I just finished downloading a 3.6GB Slackware 12 DVD. And now I'm trying to install it using vmware with 256MB guest memory and 8GB virtual HDD. My computer has 2GB memory and 320GB HDD.

After booting from DVD image, the installation goes very slow. Anybody experience the same thing ?

I never find any problem when installing Slackware 11. Is it because the new features of Slackware 12 ?

Thank you very much for your help....

I haven't heard any complaints myself, it'd probably be best to check some of the big slack specific forums or googling for the problem. Since the number of people here running the new version of slack is probably super small if anyone as it is, plus then you'd need one of them to have the same problem to know how to fix it, seems unlikely you'll get super great feedback. But who knows...

    However the its been up for more than a couple months. I personally can't wait to see what the
    boys working on Slackware came up with. It is the main linux distro I use. I have two setups with
    Slackware 10.2. On my laptop I run Slack with a GUI and on a slower, older computer I run it
    straight console. For everyone saying that it is too hard to use, forget that. Obviousl....

  12. Slackware 10.0 Vs 10.2
    (4)
    I've been using Slackware 10.0 on my Dell 600m for the past couple years and I can say that it
    is a great learning tool for anyone who wants to get into Linux. There is a big learning curve for
    anyone who wants to use Slackware, but once you start to catch up, you REALLY catch up. A couple
    days ago I got the bright idea to wipe 10.0 off my laptop and install 10.2 instead of doing it the
    sensible way (without having to fdisk and repartition, but I was bored anyway). Then today, I
    decided to go back to good old 10.0. I had a hard time trying to find downloads for t....
