Slint and VM

Sat Aug 24 13:33:00 UTC 2019

Hello,

If the md5sum matches, and you did format the virtual drive, makig sure
its big enough (20G).

Start again the installer and, as soon as logged in as root type:
lsblk -l -o name,size,fstype,type|grep part|sed "s/ *part//"
and post the output in your next post.

Best,

Didier

Am I the sole one experiencing this or is there something going on with the Slackware UK link from slint.fr (the click here in the install section) one?

Not...quite what I want. So...yeah, anyone got Slint to work on a VM? I have a perfectly good Ubuntu physical machine, wanted to test Slint out and see if it's any good in a VM
