You will then be asked what directory the files may be found under on this partition. Note that you should use forward slashes, not backslashes, in the pathname. This can save diskspace, but accessing many files is also noticeably slower. Several other Slackware vendors provide the ability to run the software from the CD-ROM as well. However, if you have the diskspace to spare, we recommend not running Slackware from the CD-ROM itself.
Performance is generally slower.
If you are attempting a hard drive or CD-ROM install, Slackware may report that there is a mount error at this point. See Section 2.5.3 for more information if you see such an error message. Disk sets This menu option allows you to select the disk sets that you wish to install. You must install at least the A disk set. Simply use the arrow keys and spacebar to select which disk sets you wish to install.
