Could to be useful the setup installer provides an option to change the resolution on high-dpi screens.
On 3840x2160 native resolution screen the installing process it's a bit painful.

I had done something like that for the installer of Slint 14.1.
Technically, the display is done in a framebuffer that the insaller sets to fit the screens dimensions in pixels, using fbterm. I assume that kmscon or mlterm could also be used but didn't try. If there is an interest I can help modifying the Slackware installer in a similar fashion.
PS the installer probes the hardware's ability for a proper display using this method and it this test fails uses the legacy display method with a fixed size font, thanks to Sébastien Ballet.

If it would make it better, we could compile mod_lua as static, then there'd be no need to install lua at all.
In the slackbuild, before you configure apache:
Code:
tar xf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz -C /tmp/
( cd /tmp/lua-5.3.5; make linux local MYCFLAGS=-fPIC )
Add this to apache configure: --enable-lua=static --with-lua=/tmp/lua-5.3.5/install
make apache
clean up at end:
rm -rf /tmp/lua-5.3.5
Would that make it more acceptable?

Reason: need -fPIC
When recursion is enabled but the allow-recursion and allow-query-cache ACLs are not specified, they should be limited to local networks, but they were inadvertently set to match the default allow-query, thus allowing remote queries. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5738. [GL #309]
The serve-stale feature could cause an assertion failure in rbtdb.c even when stale-answer-enable was false. The simultaneous use of stale cache records and NSEC aggressive negative caching could trigger a recursion loop in the named process. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5737. [GL #185]
A bug in zone database reference counting could lead to a crash when multiple versions of a slave zone were transferred from a master in close succession. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5736. [GL #134]
I'm just curious to know why an unstable/developpement bind version is now included in current instead of last stable 9.12.2 or last LTS stable 9.11.4 (see attachment).

n/bind-9.13.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Fixed a bug where extraordinarily large zone transfers caused several
problems, with possible outcomes including corrupted journal files or
server exit due to assertion failure.
Don't permit recursive query service to unauthorized clients.
