Install Slackware from ISO in VMware, how?
Hello, nice thread...
I've got one question now: I've downloaded all the 6 parts of slack and now I want to install it on my Virtual Machine... Is it possible to do so from .iso files or I need to boot it from CD?... Thanks anyway... :) |

Thank you very much... :)
I've got VMWare 2.0 on Debian and now want to install on it slackware 12.1... Actually, I do know that this virtual machine supports .iso installation of the OS but do not know how to that with two .iso images... Any help?... |
Under one of the virtual machine settings for the hardware you just simply assign an iso for your optical drive. You might be able to assign multiple optical drives. Either way, you can just change the iso image it points to as needed.
It's really quite easy so just play around with the menu. |
:D It really is so simple...
shame on me... :( Thanks for help... :) |

Slacware installation on virtual machine
At first I want to send great appoligizes to all the people
I have disturbed because I've written some posts in wrong places but I'm new here and didn't want to overload this forum by opening new threads... Thought it would be better to post my questions somewhere else rather then in my own... Now, I've got one problem on the way of installing Slack on a VMware vitual machine... VMware is installed on a Debian etch, but that does no metter.... I've successfully completed all the neccesary steps to setup partitions including SWAP space... Everything went and goes well except one thing: now installattion proccess asks to insert another disc (oh, I almost forgot, I've choosen to boot from ISO image, not from CD or DVD) I can't do that because all options are disabled... I've tried to pause VMware and and to choose another ISO which I have downloaded earlier but all options are disabled... Can anyone help with this problem?... Thanks anyway... |
I've resolved problem myself...
In case if someone has the same problem here's the answer: at first we should start guestOS (in this case Slacware 12.1) and then go to the VM option at top panel of the main window, then select Removable Devices -> CD-ROM 1 -> EDIT... and there is a BROWSER button... :) Locate your second part of Slackware hit OK and resume installation process... That's it... Thanks to all who tried to help me...;) |
Xokaido, you have been told before to keep your posts in one thread. Starting multiple threads does not help us help you. I have merged all your threads into one. Thanks for posting the answer, by the way, that's the sort of behaviour we look for here.
