Ok... I took Paradox's advice and downloaded Slackware. I'd like to tell you how great it works.. but i can't get in..

My problem is that I can't figure out which partition to mount. I've got an option of dev/hda1-hda5. If it helps, its burnt on a CD, and its the Secondary Master... How do I discern which one to mount ?

The only other option will take me too long to figure out.

Thnx in advance to anyone who can give me a straight up answer.
 
If you are trying to install it, are you doing so on the same h/d as an existing OS?
 
In answer to lostman, I'm running on a different partition, which doesn't touch windows. But yes, It technically is on the same drive. But the partition I had WAS in Fat32. I said was, because i got short-patienced and removed it.

Paradox : Well, I tried to copy from the CD I burnt to my L: (for linux), and I tried mounting all the drives that it suggested. Still no-go.

How much does an idiot-proof boxed distro of linux cost? :D
 
free. go get mandrake 9.1. it's a free download. Or you can buy it at any office depot or office max for a small fee. (compared to windows)
