Installed a Slackware 13.0 guest, and after some work also installed
the VMWare Tools to support mouse copy & paste and window resizing.
VMWare don't automagically support Slackware the same as they support
Ubuntu.
I put a HOWTO for installing the VMWare Tools on Slackware 13.0 on VMWare
communities forum: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/241039?tstart=0
Maybe somebody might find it useful.
Cheers,
Peter
