After downloading almost the entire SLS 1.03 distribution, I find that
my current system does not boot using the SLS a1.3. It claims that I
have a sound card installed, and then hangs. I removed all hardware but
for my MFM controler, and 512k ATI VGA Wonder. Still says I have a sound
card installed. No-go. Ok, so now I have spoken to people on irc who
say. . ."SLS? Mistake!" or "MCC is the best." or "Slackware is the
most bug free. . ." Well, I ca't make sense of this at all. So if
somone could please clear up the situation, I'd be most appreciative.
My questions are: Which package is best for a new user to install?
which is the most error-free instalation? Which contains all the
important stuff, including X-windows? Which is the best?!!!! (grin).
I booted up Slackware's boot, and it worked fine. It seems like quite
an excellent system, compared to my experience with SLS.
Ok, so give me the low down on the different dists., and tell me if I
can keep the SLS "x" series of the disks, even if I install the
Slackware.
Thanks!
