Certainly, but Slackware is nice in that it lets you do whatever you want
before running setup and actually installing. It assumes you'll do the
partitioning and it'll take it from there. I think it's a good
approach. You get elvis if you want to edit. Supplying a couple of
templates might be a good idea, now that you've mentioned it. But it's not
a serious problem.

They're pretty easy to put together, and a Slackware bootdisk is little
more than the kernel on a floppy. The rootdisks are ready anyway, and all
we need it to include raidtools.
