If your computer supports booting from a USB device, it is
recommended that you make a USB stick for your system at this
time.  It will boot your computer straight into the root filesystem
on /dev/nvme0n1p3.

Please insert a USB flash memory stick and then press ENTER to
creat a boot stick.

WARNING! The existing contents of the USB stick will be erased.

Since LILO (the traditional Linux Loader) does not work with
machines running UEFI firmware (exept in Legacy BIOS mode), you
probably do not need to install it. Instead, you'll need ELILO,
which is a version of LILO designed to work with EFI/UEFI systems.

ELILO is a Linux boot loader for EFI based systems. Installing
ELILO will allow you to boot your Linux system from the hard drive
after selecting it from the UEFI boot menu. Since an EFI system
Partition was detected on this machine, it is recommended that you
install ELILO now. Please select an option:

Would you like to install a boot menu entry so that you can easily
select Slackware when you boot your machine? WARNING: DO NOT
install a boot menu entry on Apple hardware. Apple computers use a
different type of EFI firmware, and eifbootmgr has been known to
damage them.  On all other computers, it is recommended to add a
boot menu entry. Please select an option:

A Slackware boot entry has been installed to your EFI boot menu.

EFI boot menu entry:
Boot0000* Slackware
HD(1,GPT,7e2290d0-e968-457f-8f4f-60d71fbada7b,0x800,0x32000)File(
\EFI\Slackware\elilo.efi)

The gpm program allows you to cut and paste text on
the virtual consoles using a mousel. If you choose to
run it at boot time, this line will be added to your
/etc/rc.d/rc.gpm:

    /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2

Shall we load the gpm program at boot time?

Would you like to configure your network?

First, we'll need the name you'd like to give your host.
Only the base hostname is needed right now. (not the domain)

Enter hostname:

Now, we need the domain name for this machine, such as:
 example.org
Do not supply a leading '.'

Enter domain name for sapphire:

Some advanced networking set ups require a VLAN ID in order to
connect to the network. Do you wish to configure a VLAN ID now?

Unless you are sure you require a VLAN ID, selet 'No'.

Now we need to know how your machine connects to the network.
If you have an internal network card and an assigned IP address, gateway,
and DNS, use the 'static IP' choice to enter these values. If your IP
address is assigned by a DHCP server (commonly used by cable modem and
DSL services), select 'DHCP'. Select 'NetworkManager' if you would like
to have the NetworkManager daemon automatically handle your wired and
wireless network interfaces (this is simple and usually works). IPv6
assign an address based on Router Advertisements. If you do not have a 
network card, selet the 'loopback' choice.
Which type of network setup would you like?

Your networking system is now configured to use NetworkManager for
wired and wireless network management. To set up wireless networks
and view status, add the Network Managemrnt control panel widget to
your KDE desktop.

Is this correct?  Press 'Yes' to confirm, or 'No' to reconfigure.

Setting accepted. Basic network
configuration is complete.

The selected services will be started at boot time.  If you don't need
them, you may unselect them to turn them off (which may improve overall
system security).  You may also choose to start services that are not
run by default, but be aware that more services means less security.
Use the spacevar to select or unselect the services you wish to run.
Recommended choices have been preselected. Press the ENTER key when you
are finished.

Would you like to try out some custom screen fonts?

Is the hardware clock set to Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC/GMT)?  If it is, select YES here.  If the hardware
clock is set to the current local time (this is how most
PCs are set up), then say NO here.  If you are not sure
what this is, you should answer NO here.

Please select one of the following timezones
for your machine:

This part of the configuration process will create ex and vi symlinks in
/usr/bin pointing to your default ex/vi editors. On a fresh
installation, these will point to nvi by default, as it is lightweight
and supports UTF8. You may choose a different default if you prefer, but
Please note that elvis does not support UTF8.

Please select the default window manager to use with the X Window
System.  This will define the style of graphical user interface the
computer uses. KDE provides the most features, and people with Windows
or MacOS experience will find it easy to use. Other window managers
are easier on system resources, or provide other unique features.

There is currently no password set on the system administrator  
account (root).  It is recommended that you set one now so that
it is active the first time the machine is rebooted.  This is
especially important if you're using a network enabled kernel
and the machine is on an Internet connected LAN.  Would you like
to set a root password?

System configuration and installation is complete.

You may now reboot your system.

Welcome to Slackware Linux Setup.
Select an option below using the UP/DOWN keys and SPACE or ENTER.
Alternate keys may also be used: '+', '-', and TAB.

You may now physically unplug the Slackware Installation
Media USB stick from the USB port.

Slackware Linux setup is complete.

You may now reboot your machine into the Slackware OS.

If you have some post-installation tewaks you'd like to make manually, you
can open a shell.

If you want to make some changes to the hardware before booting the
Slackware OS, you may wish to power off computer.
