Installing Slackware v 1.2 - CD-Rom
I'm having a couple of problems installing Slackware v 1.2 on my Pentium 100.
Problem: I can't get the CD-Rom setup. I'm using a Creative Labs Hex Speed (6X) drive. I checked Creative Labs website but they don't mention compatability with Linux. Any suggestions?
Added: I had to save the CD-ROM files from CD to HDD and install from the HDD. Linux has never recognized the CD-ROM. As for the other comments, let me dig into Linux again. I'll post my findings soon.

i missed to say that generally creative cd-roms are made by matsushita (panasonic). On which ide controller is your cd ? ( give the adress of the controller, is the sb integrated one or the first or second of the mother board, etc..).
Please provide the output from dmesg. This would be useful.
I have a question with your problem. I'm not sure if your problem is that you can't install Linux with your CD or you can use your CD-ROM under Linux.
