Slackware installation in VMWare Howto

          Last month, I downloaded Slackware 10.0. As I have already installed Fedora3, just don't wanna to repartition my hard disk any more, I choose VMWare--------a wonderful virtual machine(By the way, through VMWare is one of the most efficient virtual machine, but if you wanna to study OS kernel, I suggest u to try Bochs). 
         Just lazy, I guess u all know how to setup ur virtual machine to use ISO image as ur guest os slackware's cdrom. Following , I just wanna to mention how to install vmware-tool in slackware.
        1.After ur slackware has started, choose Install VMWare Tools in menubar. Actually, VMWare just install linux.iso which is in VMWare's own directory to guest os slackware's /dev/cdrom.
        2.As we konw, while most of linux distributions choose the traditional Sys V init, slackware prefer BSD's init style, in fact they are just different between how the init scripts are structured. I guess VMWare developers didn't considered much about this difference and choose Sys V init style as default, so now we must trick VMware in beleiving we are using SysV startup.
       #mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
       #cp /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz /tmp 
       #cd /tmp
       #tar xvzf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
      #cd vmware-tools-distrib
      #./vmware-insatll.pl
      OK,now just read install option carefully or we may press Return as well, when we come to “What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to
rc6.d/)?”error occurs, :-) know the differences I mentioned above now?
      Let's trick it, follow me:
      #mkdir /etc/init.d
      #cd /etc/init.d
      #for i in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}; do mkdir rc$i.d; done
      #/tmp/vmware-linux-distrib/vmware-install.pl
      Everything goes well, type startx to enjoy X-Window now!
