   I got my install 15.0 iso from an official Slackware mirror. I got   
   my slackware live from wherever it was offered. In both cases,   
   the image I got did not have the grub commands. Just to   
   double check, I just booted the 15.0 install and after loggin   
   in as root, I did:   
   which grub-install   
      
   and got nothing back.   
      
   The grub commands are not like elilo. I was asked about   
   elilo and followed the instructions using a pre-partioned   
   target. It all came back looking OK, but the N150 secure   
   boot system did not allow the installed system to boot.   
      
   Believe it or not, just to get Slackware on the device   
   I installed ubuntu on the second (primary) NVMe drive   
   and booted into that. I then copied the contents of   
   its efi partition over to the slackware partition that   
   would not run. Surprise, then I could run Slackware.   
      
   Draw your own conclusions from that.
