Hello,
If the md5sum matches, and you did format the virtual drive, makig sure
its big enough (20G).
Start again the installer and, as soon as logged in as root type:
lsblk -l -o name,size,fstype,type|grep part|sed "s/ *part//"
and post the output in your next post.
Best,
Didier

Okay so I just ran into this with a fresh install of qemu, making my script.
It boots. It gets to install packages, however....with a fresh, verified ISO...
Every package returns an error while installing, the errorpkg 2. I've verified the iso. ISo and even got a fresh one to test, and.....it consistently, on qemu, runs into this. Am I the sole one experiencing this or is there something going on with the Slackware UK link from slint.fr (the click here in the install section) one?

Hello,
According to https://packages.debian.org/ you need qemu-utils for the
command qemu-img and qemu-system-x86 for the command qemu-system-x86_64
That's all I know, I run neither Debian nor Ubuntu.

Okay so from a base Debian/Ubuntu install....what packages do I need to do the qemu-img stuff since I tried the man kemu and it kept saying no manual for qemu
Is that supposed to happen?

Hello,
Let's create a qemu directory in your $HOME and go there with these
commands:
mkdir $HOME/qemu
cd $HOMeqemu
Thjen create a virtual disk of size 2O G (Slint needs around 13G).
Check first that you have enough space then type:
qemu-img create disk.raw 20G
Then write a script to set up your VM. Let's name it qemu.sh. here is a
suggested content:
#/bin/sh
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-machine q35 \
-enable-kvm \
-cpu host \
-boot order=d \
-m 2G \
-soundhw hda \
-boot menu=on \
-display gtk \
-vga std \
-drive file=disk.raw,format=raw,media=disk \
-cdrom slint64-14.2.1.2.iso
Make the script executable:
chmod 755 qemu.sh
This is a simple example. I assume that the ISO is also in $HOME/qemu,
else after -cdrom indicate its path.
After installation, cloe the virtukla machibe and before staring it
again change the boot order to boot on the virtual drive:
-boot order=c
To know more read "man qemu".
Best,
Didier

Yes I do need help to set up the VM. I use VirtualBox since I know it works....but can you walk me through the very beginning, I assume I can use libvert-manager for this, right?
Or how do I do this, then. I'm a complete and utter beginner at kemu honestly

Hello,
Didier, Slint maintainer, here.
I suggest to use Qemu instead. It works well, and the sound is way better than with VirtualBox.
That's what I use first to test the new Slint ISOs, before trying them on bare metal.
If you need help to set up the virtual machine, just ask.
Best regards,
Didier

I thought for some reason Vbox (the one from the 18.04 repos) supportd Slackware? I'm not sure though, when I put in Slackware so Vbox can auto find it, it defaulted to Win7. Not...quite what I want. So...yeah, anyone got Slint to work on a VM? I have a perfectly good Ubuntu physical machine, wanted to test Slint out and see if it's any good in a VM

I tried this under Windows and VMWare player, had the same issue.
No longer an option, soled the Mac with the bootcamp, so have to learn virtualization the linux way, since it is all I have now.
