Salix Forums

The install of Salix 13.1 quits and shuts down my computer while in the middle of installing packages. It shuts my puter off trying to install Absolute Linux 13.08 as well. Is this a Slackware issue? I can install archbang, Vector or antiX on this ancient Compaq P3 800mhz, 256m ram laptop no problem but for some reason these two are crapping out on me.

What can I do to get through the install?

Thx,
Robert

Try to disable acpi when booting the installer (use acpi=off)

I set it to boot noacpi and launched the setup but it still crapped out on me.
