Subject: Slackware on VMWare
Hello,

I've been trying to install Slackware 9.1 on VMWare as a guest on my
Windows XP machine. I'm using 9.1 because it still uses XFree86, and
VMWare Tools requires XFree86, not xorg :(

Anyway, I install it just fine, using scsi.s for the kernel when
installing. It installs just fine, but when I restart the virtual
machine, I just get a blank screen after the "BIOS" is finished loading
and it hangs. I've been able to boot up Slax just fine, so it should
theoretically work. Just seeing if anyone else has gotten Slack to work
on VMWare before.

Thanks,
Ray
