The Linux filesystems are in VirtualBox ".vdi" files on the Windows XP system, which I was able to locate after booting with the Slackware CD.

This does not seem to be straightfoward unless the VDI file is transerred (somehpow ... ) to another machine on which VirtualBox is installed.
I think that's the only practical way, copy the .vdi files to a system which has VirtualBox installed and then get that system to boot the virtual linux.
Thanks Chris. I can probably persuade the Linux running from the Slackware Live CD ro communicate with another computer. But then the main issue is locating one which has VirtualBox installed! Ted.
