I just installed Current on a HD in a USB enclosure. Although my undrestanding is the script is just intended for 14.2 targets, it seemed to work just fine. I did have a bit of a problem with lilo (/etc/lilo.conf not found) but that may have been because of not reading the instructions properly. Anyway, I was able to boot from BIOS, and all seems well.
I haven't however tried it out much yet, because I don't have a non-root user. Presumably Slack expects you to do that after installation.
The installed kernel is 4.19.0.

Re: New blog site
Hello,
But do you mean that an error message was displayed at some point about /etc/lilo.conf, when running install_with_UUID.sh? that looks weird.
Thanks for testing.
You are not supposed to install lilo during the regular installation, the script installs it then with a specific /etc/lilo.conf

Yes. just type "adduser" to create a non-root user.
Thanks for testing.

I think I tried lilo -v at either just after installation, or on reboot. I'm afraid I don't remember.
Nothing to do with your script, but wireless internet is working poorly for me in current. I tried with wicd too, but it also disconnects after a few seconds - just as some users have reported with 14.2, though it works reasonably well for me, at least with Salix.
I tested video and see the same "tearing" and general jerkiness in 15.0 as in 14.2. This was using alien's vlc package, and his packages for the dependencies he lists.

Re: New blog site
If it was just after installation (i.e. *before* running the script) it's normal as if you don't ask the installer to run liloconfig no /etc/lilo.conf is written during installation.
