This works in a similar way by sitting on a DOS/Windoze partition and creating a psudo-root in the linux directory. Personally, I had problems with the supplied X in BigSlack, but ZipSlack is a basic install to which you can add X, and that version did exactly what it said on the tin. I use it on my Wife's machine. You can download ZipSlack from www.slackware.com - it is a zip file of around 35 megs. Regards, Ozz.
