[Rule-list] Bug in Slinky 0.2.6 setup.sh

Would this bug cause me to get stuck at the point of specifying which
partition is /?
I attempted install with Slinky 0.2.6 last night, all was well until after I
exited cfdisk. The installer said it recognized my two partitions /dev/hda1
(swap) /dev/hda2 (which I intended to be one big /). It initialized the swap
and then prompted:
please select your / file system []:
That isn't a valid entry! Was what it reported when I typed /dev/hda2. I got
the same answer a few times. I'll try the updated Slinky tonight.
btw, http://www.rule-project.org/rule_install.txt seems to be a dead link.

As promised:
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/slinky/slinky-v0.2.7/

However, it's been only minimally tested. cdrom installs appear to work.
I didn't have the free time I had hoped for tonight to do further testing.
