I feel like a total retard for asking this, Please forgive.

Why is it that you can install the gnome packages from the slack 9.1 CD
if you boot to it and run "setup" but if you mount the CD afterward to
install a package you missed, the /slackware/gnome directory doesnt show
up? I'm 100% positive i'm just being retarded here but i've searched
the cd and there arent even any file names with gnome in them..

help please

The Gnome stuff is on cd2 /mnt/cdrom/slackware/gnome

You probably used the OTHER install CD.
CD 1 contains most Slackware 9.1 packages while CD 2 only has the KDE
and GNOME ones (plus "extra" and the "live" system).
It just didn't fit on a single CD anymore.
