Hi,

I have successfully installed Slackware 9.1 on VMware 4, however I am
having the following problem installing VMware Tools for the virtual
machine, it is asking for the directory containing the rc0.d/ to rc6.d/
directories.

Any suggestions on how I can work around this problem, and get the
VMware Tools to work with Slack's BSD style of init scripts?

TIA for any help

Install the sysvinit package and create those dirs yourself under /etc/rc.d:

The rc.sysvinit will do the System V init style of rc scripts, IF dirs
do exist and contain S* cq K* script (cq links to scripts).
