Thanks. Now that you have explained the situation, it is obvious, but one has to know that the drive referred to is the vitual disk. As you suggested, I prepared it and completed the installation in the VitualBox. Unfortunately, this only installed the base system. The Slackware 14.1 comes as two ISO files, a d1.iso and a d2.iso. During installation, after packages from disk 1 were installed, I'm, asked whether I want to insert a second disk. I said yes, but this led nowhere. I tried to specify the path to the disk 2 iso file, but that didn't work. I saved the virtual machine and in the VitualBox manager defined the source as the disk2 iso, but now when I start the virtual Slackware, it just boots. How does one install packages available in an ISO file when the system is already installed?
