Slackware 11 & Virtual PC 2007


Hi there! Long time listener, first time caller...

Wanted to know if anyone could explain to me how to, or even if, Slackware 11 can be installed on MS Virtual PC 2007? I've looked in a lot of places but have seen very little to point me in the right direction.

So far I've:

- Created the Virtual Disk
- "Capture" the Slackware 11 .iso to virtual /dev/hdc
- Boot the sata.i kernal from the "CD"
- Partition the disk into Swap and FileSystem Partitions
- Start the full Setup

It *seems* to work just fine, but I'm not sure I've got LILO config'd right. Do I install LILO to the MBR? Do I install it to the SuperBlock? If SB, do I set my Linux partition as active?

I've tried the latter...installing to the SuperBlock and setting a bootable flag on my second primary File System Partition. When I try to boot this, however...I just get a black screen.

Any and all help/suggestion/comment/ridicule is greatly apprecitated!

Thanks-

Nevermind! I figured it out. I must have hashed my partitions at some point in time. I did a full wipe and reload, so to speak, and this time, went w/ a LILO installation in expert mode, and installed everything to the MBR. It works smashingly!
