Does anybody know exactly what the HD optimization check mark during the
filesystem setup in the install do? Would this have anything to do with
it? I was thinking that all it would do is use hdparm...

Johnactually, windows is on another scsi drive, but dos is
not, it's on the same drive. I agree that the error doesn't
sound right, which is why I emailed Tom about it, here's his
reply:
Um... probably you have filetype features in use on the

Yes, mounting an ext2 fs worked fine. That error doesn't sound right.
Why in the world would it not support ext2fs? Are your dos/windows
filesystem on the same HD?

Johndid you actually mount an ext2 file system while booted
on tomsrtbt? I have a 7895 built into my motherboard and when
booted on tomsrtbt I can mount dos & windows filesystems but my
ext2 filesystems error out saying:
EXT2-FS: 08:07: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional
features
My computer has an adaptec 2940u2w and Tom's dist worked fine. Check the
website. I do remember seeing the list of devices supported on the
website somewhere.

Bare with my ignorance for a minute, what is the difference?

I believe that Slackware is distributed in "Disk Sets".
The newer one comes on CD, but is or should still be
broken down into individual disk sets comprised of
a stack of 1.44's.
Example, the base system including the kernel, login
etc. is disk set A, and used to be about 4 floppies.
