   If you mean you booted the install iso image (the usb stick) then you are   
   right: there is no lilo, elilo or grub in the installer system running in   
   RAM. The installer installs the Slackware packages on the target disk and   
   the setup scripts offer to install lilo or elilo and they do that by running   
   /sbin/liloconfig or /usr/sbin/eliloconfig of the installed system (on the   
   file system on disk, not the installer file system in RAM). Similarly, there   
   are /usr/sbin/grub-install and /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig on the installed   
   system. There is not yet a menu item to install grub, but you can install it   
   yourself. When you are at the 'CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM' menu item, don't   
   install lilo or elilo but change to a different virtual terminal   
   (Alt-Ctrl-F?), 'chroot /mnt' and give the grub-install and grub-mkconfig   
   there. If you did the full install, /usr/sbin/grub-install and   
   /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig are there.
