   After following through on this, I assert that grub is *NOT* on   
   the slackware 15.0 install iso. Moreover, elilo did not work.   
      
   This time I partitioned the target with two partitions   
   the first 300MB and type ef00 and the second all the   
   rest of the drive.   
      
   At the start of the install I gave the target as   
   the second partition, and the install recognized   
   the first partition. It formatted the first as   
   fat32, and the second as ext4.   
      
   After the install stopped chugging away I was asked about   
   lilo and I declined. I installed elilo instead. When   
   the install finished I did not reboot, I did   
   which grub and which grub2, neither came up.   
   So I exited and rebooted the system.   
      
   Upon boot the elilo stuff came up and delivered   
   some messages like installing intrd and something   
   else, but the system just locked up after that.   
      
   Just to make sure about grub, I booted back   
   up with the install disk. I mounted the installed   
   system, did the proc/sys/dev thing and chrooted   
   to the mounted partition. Again I did which   
   grub and grub2 and neither was found on the   
   install.   
      
   Now I am downloading the live64 in hopes that   
   I can repeat the above process with something   
   that does have grub.   
      
   It shouldn't be this much trouble.
