Alright, I'll relent with the floppy thing then , but I still wish the outputs for either Menu or Expert be changed to terse , the very least.
Also, still would be a nice touch if the installer gave the choice of LILO or GRUB (non UEFI), and ELILO or GRUB (UEFI) - Maybe Didier can lend a hand to that one if he has that on his installer for SLINT.

In the current Slint installer GRUB is used for both UEFI and non UEFI. I am preparing Slint-15.0 including an updated installer, when done will make available in https://slint.fr/forSlackware/ stuff that I think could benefit Slackware 15.1, including GRUB settings and installation, setting swap in zram, full disk encryption without LVM, fully automatic kernel upgrade, portable installation, btrfs default settings with subvolumes. Slint is not really to Slackware what Fedora is for Red Hat, but you get the idea

Oh, I thought it was since it was based off of Slackware. Still if you could offer something to Pat (some kind of script example to assist) that would be great, I still think it would be a great idea having the choice of LILO or GRUB or ELILO or GRUB for those scenarios, but again thats just my opinion.

You do have a choice. Grub2 is included in Slackware 15 (and pre15), and you can install it after the installation process or once you have booted into the installed Slackware 15. Quite easily. You don't need internet or to download some package, you can just do it (it wasn't always like that, and it's not like that in all distroes).

Yes, but what I mean't was slightly different; having the installer present said choice - but to be honest, this isn't even my high priority request anyways. My main hangup, is the output of said installer (Menu & Expert), would be nice if there was a distinction i.e. giving a terse output to either Menu or Expert.
this new package doesn't contain /etc/X11 it's in /usr/share/X11
Unfortunately, seems like the Xorg server still looks for those files into /etc/X11 - upgrading the package as is, will end with the user ending in the Linux console for X11 sessions and practically useless Wayland/Plasma5 sessions.
