Ah right. Using M-x slime RET indeed starts everything right away. Thanks!

It does however produce a small (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) error, 
before carrying on. I've deinstalled ILISP now, which fixes that, but it 
might be something to keep in mind for other Debian users. Installing 
ILISP through APT puts ILISP in your load-path. I don't know if you can 
change that without being root.
