Hmmm, Paul, this really isn't the place for such a discussion (we've
pushed the bounds of topicality with this Linux stuff already); but I
want to say that this sounds like user error to me. :)
That's not an attack nor an insult (at least not intended as such). In
my time playing with GNU/Linux I've found that there's almost always a
rational explanation for everything, and that the vast majority of
problems are due to user error. You're probably doing something wrong at
a very basic level.
Best thing to do is to consult the docs for your distro (Slackware has
The Book for beginners at http://www.slackware.com/book/ ) and go from
there. There are many places online where you can find help. Possibly
the most important thing to realise (easing this back toward topic :) is
that UNIX != DOS, so a different approach is often best.
Good luck,
