хочу установить slack 12.1 с флоппи невозможно. есть установленная более рання версия. в раздел дос скачал установочные
файлы, прочитал readme.initrd, выполнил как там прописано
3. How do I build the initrd?
The easiest way to make the initrd is to use the mkinitrd script included
in Slackware's mkinitrd package. We'll walk through the process of
upgrading to the generic 2.6.24.5-smp Linux kernel using the packages
found in Slackware's slackware/a/ directory.
First, make sure the kernel, kernel modules, and mkinitrd package are
installed (the current version numbers might be a little different, so
this is just an example):
installpkg kernel-generic-2.6.24.5_smp-i686-2.tgz
installpkg kernel-modules-2.6.24.5_smp-i686-2.tgz
installpkg mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-2.tgz
Change into the /boot directory:
cd /boot
Now you'll want to run "mkinitrd". I'm using reiserfs for my root
filesystem, and since it's an IDE system the reiserfs module will be
the only one I need to load:
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.24.5-smp -m reiserfs
This should do two things. First, it will create a directory
/boot/initrd-tree containing the initrd's filesystem. Then it will
create an initrd (/boot/initrd.gz) from this tree. If you wanted to,
you could make some additional changes in /boot/initrd-tree/ and
then run mkinitrd again without options to rebuild the image. That's
optional, though, and only advanced users will need to think about that.
Here's another example: Build an initrd image using Linux 2.6.24.5-smp
kernel modules for a system with an ext3 root partition on /dev/hdb3.
Note that you need the mbcache, jbd, and ext3 modules to use ext3:
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.24.5-smp -m mbcache:jbd:ext3 -f ext3 -r /dev/hdb3
Actually, mkinitrd is usually smart enough to figure out any "helper"
modules that are needed, so this would work as well:
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.24.5-smp -m ext3 -f ext3 -r /dev/hdb3
4. Now that I've built an initrd, how do I use it?
Now that you've got an initrd (/boot/initrd.gz), you'll want to load
it along with the kernel at boot time. If you use LILO for your boot
loader you'll need to edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a line to load the
initrd. Here's an example section of lilo.conf showing how this is
done:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.24.5-smp
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/hda6
label = Lnx26245smp
read-only
The initrd is loaded by the "initrd = /boot/initrd.gz" line.
Just add the line right below the line for the kernel image you use.
Save the file, and then run LILO again ('lilo' at the command line).
You'll need to run lilo every time you edit lilo.conf or rebuild the
initrd.

перегрузился появилось прглашение- /$ и что дальше - ни setup ни
pkgtool не запускаются. И еще - создалась /boot/initrd-tree
в ней есть /lib/modules/2.6.24.5 но директория оказалась незаполнена
перекачал туда модули но эффект что с пустой
