Hi expert all,

I am using slackware 12.1 guest os in vmware 1.0.6 on win xp.

I need minimalist slackware.. so that I have recompiled the kernel-2.6.24.5 for vmware devices and installed modules supplied by vmware that is vmmon and vmnet. Finally build the kernel packages using slackbuild script

I am using below kernel packages

kernel-source-2.6.24.5_smp-noarch-2
kernel-2.6.24.5-modules-i486
