[PLUG] Slackware on Virtual Box

[Dick Steffens]

I've downloaded slackware64-14.1-install-dvd.iso, and the md5sum matches 
slackware64-14.1-install-dvd.md5.

I've created an empty virtual box virtual machine with 1024 MB memory 
and 8 GB virtual drive.

I've pointed the virtual DVD drive to the above mentioned .iso and 
started the virtual machine.

Where can I find instructions on partitioning that virtual 8 GB? The 
tutorials that I've found all tell me to partition the space for a 
primary partition and a swap partition, and assume that I know how to do 
that. Does anyone know where to find something that spells out what to 
call that virtual drive for fdisk? Also, since the purpose of the 
installation is just to get to know Slackware, what is the recommended 
swap partition size? I recall something about making it some multiple of 
the memory, but don't recall if that was 1:1 or something else.

Thanks for the advice.
