No. It was during the command:
$ rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"

It seems slackware is somehow unknown and that rosinstall only proceeds if the distro is one from the list; I think ROS ought to install in any Linux system.

Best,
Rodrigo
