Hi!
Well, I have Slackware, but I have problems with it. Not all programms are runing, when I run them, nothing happens, thay dosnt stay even on system tray. When I try to change time & date it shows me The KDE Crach Handler Even when I re-Installed Slackware, I have the same problems.
Can I Download Red Hat or Other Linux and Install it without Burning it on CD?
I dont have CD writer :( is there another way to install Linux?
Thank you.

I would keep Slackware.
If you have your Internet configured, try this:

export SL_MIRROR="ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/slackware"
(you can put your own URL instead)
echo $SL_MIRROR
mkdir kde ; cd kde/
wget -c ${SL_MIRROR}/slackware-9.1/slackware/kde/*.tgz

After you are done:

su
telinit 1 (going single-user)
cd /your/home/kde/
pkgtool

remove your old kde packages, install the new ones.
Reboot.
