Don't be spreading "FUD" like this....thx
Nobody said that anything was installed by default. Don't try to twist my words around. Lilo is the default bootloader for Slackware.
CONFIGURE
This option takes you through the most important of the configuration process. That is, the root password, LILO configuration, network configuration (using netconfig), kernel installation, X setup, timezone, and a few other settings. You may want to take a look at the Configuration Page for some additional help.
You ought to take your own advice and stop wasting people's time with misinformation and silly comments. ...thx
