To start the installation, simply type the following command

• setup

And the following screen will load:

Click on “Add Swap” which will bring up the following screen:

Simply select yes, this will format and enable the swap partition, utilising it straight away.

This is equivalent to

• mkswap /dev/hda3
• swapon /dev/hda3

The next screen is simply letting us know that our new swap partition will be added into fstab:
 
Obviously we select "OK"

We will then need to select the root “/” partition:
 
which in our case will be "/dev/hda2"

Then select format:
 

Then choose ext3:
 

Then accept the default of 4096.

Since we have more partitions available (our /dev/hda1 that we have not assigned yet), we will get a message allowing us to utilise these partitions.  We want to select the highlighted option of /dev/hda1:

Then format the partition:
 

This time we will be using ext 2:

Once again using the default of 4096:

we will then be asked for a mount point for our newly formatted partition:

We want to enter “/boot”, then select OK.

Click OK to adding partitions to fstab:

We want to choose install from slackware cd or dvd:

Then choose auto:

Now we get to choose the base packages that we want to use.
