As I've said before, I'm very new to linux and very very new to
Slackware. So what do you suggest I do? I just barely installed
Slackware probably four or five days ago. I haven't configured too
much so I could reinstall, although I know that generally this is not
needed in linux, I just don't have a clue as to how to correct the
problem.
