I want to update the SB script as I'm the maintainer but I don't have
slackware 15.0 bare metal. Is anyone available with slackware 15.0
bare metal to test it? (for current works fine)
If someone want to test it and give me feedback, steps are these:

1. wget https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v2.1.4/balena-etcher_2.1.4_amd64.deb

2. bsdtar -xf balena-etcher_2.1.4_amd64.deb  --include='data.tar.*' -O
| bsdtar -xf -

3. cd usr/lib/balena-etcher

4. ./balena-etcher

5. Now try to flash an usb stick, if it works we are fine...

Thank you.
