Thank you! One of the reasons I want to install Slackware to physical disk is that I think it should be possible to boot Slackware not only as a domU but also outside Xen? (I have just recently started with NetBSD so I want to keep Slackware at hand. And compile times for a full pkgsrc NetBSD XFCE desktop are humongous! :) I can boot into the Slackware domU while I'm waiting in case I need to get on the web for help.) But I am amazed with the excellence of NetBSD, and the helpfulness of the people involved. Already in this mailing list I have received replies from developers who are surely busy with other work, so I am very impressed with the way they still take time out to give detailed replies to newbie questions! -- Gerard Lally
