Hi there... I don't know if this goes here but I lost my user/password in the slackel forum and I will forget this "bug" awaiting for my new account...

I'm installing with the gui installer. I want lilo/elilo as bootloeader...
all good (I guess) but then a popup saying ERROR (don't remember the words but the message was that generic)

chrooting in the install partition to check what failed I try "lilo" and it fails:
"Fatal: Image name, label or alias too long: 'Slackel-openbox-7.0' " (pretty trivial, right?)

Also, assuming the error in the installer was this, what else did the install missed or this was the last stage?

This has been solved with recompiled lilo.
The label = slackel-openbox-7.0 changed to label = Slackel. Because it was too long string for lilo. You can upgrade lilo or just edit liloconfig as root and change label two apperances to label = Slackel. Then run lilo
