I've had a chance to read the review and I can't figure out what could have gone wrong with
Jesse Smith(reviewer) installation. Maybe the downloaded ISO was corrupted or the flash drive used was damaged(what method/software did he use to burn the ISO). He did the installation in virtual box/qemu/vmware??
I always use the command
rsync -HPAav slackware.uk::slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/iso/slint64-15.0-4.iso . to download the ISO because in the web browser sometimes the download fails...
I also comment the review
