Well...setting the hostname had no effect.
However, after several flashes of the Debian, SlugOS, and Linksys firmware (in
no particular order!), and resetting the Slug to its default settings from
the Linksys web interface, it eventually worked!
Hard to know exactly what sorted it (could have been the default configuration
thing) but the installer is now running...looking good so far.
