+.SH NAME
+explodepkg \- Extract the contents of a tar+compression package (such as a Slackware
+software package) in the current directory.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B explodepkg
+.BI package
+.BI [ 
+.BI package2, 
+.BI package3, 
+.BI ...
+.BI ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B explodepkg
+uncompresses and untars Slackware *.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz) packages (or any archive 
+that was created by
+compressing a tarfile with one of the supported compression utilities) in the current directory. It is not usually
+used to install packages, since it doesn't execute the installation scripts 
+in ./install or ./var/lib/pkgtools/setup. The primary use for
+.B explodepkg
+is in package maintenance - exploding a package in a subdirectory, making fixes
+to it or upgrading the software, and then building the updated package with
+.B makepkg.

+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B installpkg
+installs single or multiple *.txz (or .tbz, .tgz, .tlz) binary packages designed
+for use with the Slackware Linux distribution onto your system.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \--warn packagename
+Generate a list of files that would be overwritten to the standard output, but do
+not actually install the package.  The list is formatted in a suitable fashion to
+use as a list of files to backup.
+.TP
+.B \--md5sum packagename
+Record the package md5sum in the metadata written in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages.
+.TP
+.B \--root /otherroot
+Install using a location other than / (the default) as the root of the
+filesystem to install on.  In the example given, use /otherroot instead.  Setting
+the ROOT environment variable does the same thing.
+.TP
+.B \--infobox
+Use /bin/dialog to display an informational dialog as the package is installed.
+Primarily used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
+.TP
+.B \--menu
+Use /bin/dialog to display a menu asking the user if they would like to install the
+package(s) or not.  Generally used when installpkg is called from other scripts.
+.TP
+.B \--terse
+Install the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
+.TP
+.B \--terselength <length>
+Maximum line length of --terse mode output. Default is the number of terminal columns.
+.TP
+.B \--ask
+Used with -menu mode.  When selected, always ask if a package should be
+installed regardless of what the package's priority is.
+.TP
+.B \--priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP
+When installing with the \-menu option, package priority levels (found in the file
+"tagfile" in the package directory) are used to automatically install (ADD) or 
+skip (SKP) a package, or to suggest recommended (REC) or optional (OPT) to the user
+if a menu is displayed.  If a priority is set on the command line, it will override
+the values set in the tagfile for the entire package list.
+.TP
+.B \--tagfile /somedir/tagfile
+Specify a different file to use for package priorities (in this example, /somedir/tagfile
+will be used).  The default is "tagfile" in the package's directory.
+.TP
+.B \--threads <number>
+For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the maximum number of threads to be used for
+decompression. Only has an effect if a multithreaded compressor was used, and then
+only on large packages. The default for plzip is the number of CPU threads available.
+The default for xz is 2.
+.TP
+.B \--no-overwrite
+When extracting the package, do not overwrite existing files. Usually, this option
+should not be used. It exists so that upgradepkg can use it for the second installation
+pass. The first pass has already overwritten the previous package's files, and this will
+catch the few corner cases without generating unnecessary writes.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.B Install a font package for X:
+.P
+installpkg font-bh-ttf-1.0.3-noarch-1.txz
+.P
+Note that if a package is already installed, upgradepkg(8) should be used instead.
+.TP
+.B Create a backup of the files that would be overwritten if the package is installed:
+.P
+.nf
+tar czvf /tmp/backup.tar.gz \\
+  $(installpkg --warn font-bh-ttf-1.0.3-noarch-1.txz)

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B makepkg
+[
+.B -l, --linkadd y|n
+]
+[
+.B -c, --chown y|n
+]
+[
+.B --threads <number>
+]

+.BI packagename
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B makepkg
+creates a new Slackware compatible package.
+The package is constructed using the contents of the current directory and
+all subdirectories. If symbolic links exist, they will be converted to script
+code to recreate them when the package is installed. This code will be
+appended to the primary installation script 
+.B ( install/doinst.sh )
+, or, if that script does not exist it will be created with those contents.
+The package will be written out to the file
+.BI packagename
+which should be the full name, including the extension.  This is usually .txz,
+but .tgz, .tbz, and .tlz are also accepted.  The proper compression utility
+(xz, gzip, bzip2, or lzip) needs to be installed on the machine.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-l, --linkadd y|n
+If y, add any symbolic links found to the install script (doinst.sh) and
+delete them.  This is the recommended action.  If this option is not used,
+makepkg will prompt if symbolic links are found.
+.TP
+.B \-p, --prepend
+If this option is given, then any symbolic links added to doinst.sh will be
+prepended to the existing script.  This is useful for packages that contain
+shared libraries that need to be linked first because programs will use them
+later in the doinst.sh script.
+.TP
+.B \-c, --chown y|n
+If y, makepkg will reset all directory permissions to 755 and ownership to root:root.
+In general, you should have the permissions and ownerships worked out yourself, so
+relying on setting this option to y is somewhat sloppy.  It is not the default.  If an
+option is not provided, makepkg will prompt.
+.TP
+.B --threads <number>
+For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the maximum number of threads to be used for
+compression. Only has an effect on large packages. For plzip the default is the number
+of CPU threads available. For xz the default is to let xz decide how many threads to
+use, except on 32-bit platforms where the default number of threads is 2.
+.TP
+.B --compress <option>
+Supply a custom option to the compressor. This will be used in place of the default, which is: -9
+.TP
+.B --acls
+Support storing POSIX ACLs in the package. The resulting package will not be compatible
+with pkgtools version < 15.0.
+.TP
+.B --xattrs
+Support storing extended attributes in the package. The resulting package will not be
+compatible with pkgtools version < 15.0.
+.TP
+.B --remove-rpaths
+Remove all rpaths from ELF objects. By default, makepkg will warn if any are found.
+.TP
+.B --remove-tmp-rpaths
+Remove all rpaths from ELF objects containing an rpath wih the /tmp directory in it.
+Such rpaths could be a security hole.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
+A UNIX date-time (seconds since 1 Jan 1970). If set, any newer timestamps in the package
+will be rewritten ("clamped") to this date-time. See
+.I https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
+for more details.
+.SH INSTALLATION SCRIPTS
+There are 3 types of installation scripts supported in the Slackware package
+system. 
+.TP
+The first is the 
+.B primary
+installation script. This is found in the subdirectory
+.B ./install
+and must have the name
+.B doinst.sh
+in order to be recognized. This ( and other install scripts ) should be written
+using the basic Bourne shell syntax recognized by the
+.B ash
+shell, since this is the shell that will be used to execute the script when
+installing from a Slackware install floppy. This is a common trap - beware of
+using
+.B bash
+syntax extensions, because the script will work fine when installed from the
+hard drive, but will bomb out when installed from floppy. If the package is
+for personal use, this isn't a problem. Be careful, though, if you plan to
+share your package with other users. The
+.B primary installation script
+is executed immediately after the package is installed with 
+.B installpkg, pkgtool, 
+or
+.B setup.
+.TP
+The second type of script is the
+.B configuration
+script. This is found in the subdirectory
+.B ./var/lib/pkgtools/setup
+and must have a name that starts with
+.B setup.
+in order to be recongnized. An example is the timezone script: 
+.B /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.timeconfig. 
+These scripts are executed during the
+.B CONFIGURE
+phase of
+.B setup, 
+and are re-executed each time the user runs the
+.B CONFIGURE
+option from
+.B setup
+from then on.
+Typically, the user will go through this phase of setup following the 
+installation of all the packages. Anything that needs to be interactive
+should go in one of these scripts to avoid halting the package installation
+process during 
+.B setup. 
+.TP
+The third type of script is the
+.B onlyonce
+script. Like the name suggests, these are executed only once after the package
+is installed, in contrast to the standard
+.B configuration
+script. These scripts are also found in the
+.B ./var/lib/pkgtools/setup
+directory and must have a name that starts with
+.B setup., 
+but in addition the name must contain the string
+.B onlyonce.
+An example might be a script with the name 
+.B /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.onlyonce.testscript
+.SH PACKAGE FORMAT
+.B makepkg
+uses GNU tar plus GNU gzip to create its packages. A simple way to 
+extract the contents of a package (without executing the installation
+scripts, of course) is to use a command like this:
+.TP
+explodepkg package.tgz
+.TP
+Or, something like this:
+.TP
+gzip -dc package.tgz | tar xvvf -

+.SH NAME
+pkgtool \- software package maintenance tool.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pkgtool
+.LP
+.B pkgtool
+[
+.B --sets #a#b#c#
+]
+[
+.B --source_mounted
+]
+[
+.B --ignore_tagfiles

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pkgtool
+is a menu-driven package maintenance tool provided with the Slackware Linux 
+distribution.  It allows the user to install, remove, or view
+software packages through an interactive
+system.  Pkgtool can also be used to re-run the menu-driven scripts normally
+executed at the end of a Slackware installation.  This is useful for doing
+basic reconfiguration (like changing the mouse type).
+.SH OPTIONS
+Most users will not want to use any options when running
+.B pkgtool.
+These are generally used only when
+.B pkgtool
+is run during the initial system installation.
+Feel free to try them, but be careful.
+.TP
+.B \--sets #A#B#C#
+Install the disk sets A, B, C. Separate the disk set names by '#' symbols.
+.TP
+.B \--source_mounted
+When this flag is present, 
+.B pkgtool
+will not attempt to unmount and remount the source device with each disk.
+.TP
+.B \--ignore_tagfiles
+When this flag is present, 
+.B pkgtool
+will install every package encountered no matter what the tagfiles say.
+.TP
+.B \--tagfile tagfile
+This flag is used to specify from the command line which tagfile should be
+used for the installation.
+.TP
+.B \--source_dir directory
+Used when installing multiple packages from disk sets. This is the directory
+in which the subdirectories for each disk are found. This isn't used when
+installing from floppy.
+.TP
+.B \--target_dir directory
+The directory where the target root directory is located. This is '/' when 
+installing on the hard drive, or typically '/mnt' when installing from an
+install disk.
+.TP
+.B \--source_device device
+The source device to install from. This is not used if you've provided the
+.B \--source_mounted
+flag. It's usually used when installing from floppy, as in:
+ \--source_device /dev/fd0u1440
+or
+ \--source_device /dev/fd1h1200.

+.SH NAME

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B removepkg
+.BI packagename
+.LP
+[
+.B ROOT=/mnt
+]
+.B removepkg
+[
+.B \--copy
+]
+[
+.B \--keep

+[
+.B \--warn
+]
+.BI packagename
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B removepkg
+removes a previously installed Slackware package, while writing a progress
+report to the standard output.  A package may be specified either by the
+full package name (as you'd see listed in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/), or by the
+base package name.  For example, the package foo-1.0-i586-1.txz may be removed
+with any of the following commands:
+
+removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1.txz (also recognized: .tgz, .tbz, .tlz)
+
+removepkg foo-1.0-i586-1
+
+removepkg foo.txz
+
+removepkg foo
+
+When deleting files,
+.B removepkg
+will analyze the contents of the other packages installed on your system, and
+will only delete the files that are unique to the package being removed. 
+Similarly, the installation scripts for all the other packages will be 
+considered when deciding whether or not to delete symbolic links from the
+package.
+.LP
+Removing a package (as well as installing one) can be a dangerous undertaking.
+For this reason, there is the
+.B \-warn
+option available. When you use this,
+.B removepkg
+will not actually remove any files or links, but will output a detailed report
+of what it would do if you actually did remove the package. It's suggested that
+you do this (and maybe pipe the output to 
+.B less
+) before removing packages to make sure you've backed up anything that might
+be important.
+.LP
+When removing a package, its original file index will be moved from 
+/var/lib/pkgtools/packages to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_packages. Likewise, its installation
+script will be moved from /var/lib/pkgtools/scripts to /var/log/pkgtools/removed_scripts.
+.LP
+.B removepkg
+supports /bin/sh compatible uninstall scripts.
+If the package shipped with an uninstall script, it will be run after the package
+is removed. If present, the uninstall script resides in the /var/lib/pkgtools/douninst.sh/
+directory and has the same full name as the package (without the extension). For example,
+a package named foo-1.0-noarch-1.txz might contain an uninstall script named:
+/var/lib/pkgtools/douninst.sh/foo-1.0-noarch-1
+.LP
+A package's uninstall script may either ship directly in /var/lib/pkgtools/douninst.sh/ as
+the correctly-named file, or it may ship as /install/douninst.sh. In the latter case, it
+will be renamed and placed in /var/lib/pkgtools/douninst.sh/ by installpkg.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \--copy packagename
+Construct a copy of the package under /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename,
+but don't remove it.  (same effect as \-warn \-preserve)
+.TP
+.B \--keep
+Save the intermediate files created by removepkg (delete_list,
+required_files, uniq_list, del_link_list, required_links,
+required_list).  Mostly useful for debugging purposes.
+.TP
+.B \--preserve packagename
+If specified, the complete package subtree is reconstructed in
+/var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp/preserved_packages/packagename.
+.TP
+.B \--skip-douninst
+Skip running the the uninstall script.
+.TP
+.B \--terse
+Remove the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
+.TP
+.B \--warn packagename
+Generate a report to the standard output about which files and directories
+would be removed, but does not actually remove the package.
+.SH " "
+It's possible to remove a package from a filesystem
+other than / by supplying
+.B removepkg
+with a
+.B ROOT
+environment variable:
+.TP
+.B ROOT=/mnt removepkg package

+.BI [ old2%new2 ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B upgradepkg
+upgrades a Slackware package from an older version to a
+newer one.  It does this by
+.B INSTALLING
+the new package onto the system, and then
+.B REMOVING 
+any files from the old package that aren't in the new package.
+If the old and new packages have the same name, a single argument is all that
+is required.  If the packages have different names, supply the name of the
+old package followed by a percent symbol (%), then the name of the new package.
+Do not add any extra whitespace between pairs of old/new package names.
+.P
+Before upgrading a package, save any configuration files (such as in /etc)
+that you wish to keep.  Sometimes these will be preserved, but it depends on
+the package structure.  If you want to force new versions of the config files
+to be installed, remove the old ones manually prior to running upgradepkg.
+.P
+If upgradepkg finds more than one installed package matching the old package's
+name, it will remove them all.
+.TP
+To upgrade in a directory other than / (such as /mnt):
+.TP
+ROOT=/mnt upgradepkg package.txz (or .tbz, .tgz, .tlz)
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \--dry-run
+Output a report about which packages would be installed or upgraded
+but don't actually perform the upgrades.
+.TP
+.B \--install-new
+Normally upgradepkg only upgrades packages that are already installed on the system, and
+will skip any packages that do not already have a version installed.
+If
+.B --install-new
+is specified, the behavior is modified to install new packages in addition to upgrading
+existing ones.
+.TP
+.B \--reinstall
+Upgradepkg usually skips packages if the exact same package
+(matching name, version, arch, and build number) is already installed on the system.
+Use the --reinstall option if you want to upgrade all packages even if the same
+version is already installed.
+.TP
+.B \--terse
+Upgrade the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
+.TP
+.B \--terselength <length>
+Maximum line length of --terse mode output. Default is the number of terminal columns.
+.TP
+.B \--verbose
+Show all the gory details of the upgrade.

+# pass.
+#
+# Wed May 19 18:11:44 UTC 2021
+# Don't run the install script if this is a pre-install pass as indicated by
+# upgradepkg setting PRE_INSTALL_PASS="true". Some of the install scripts can
+# take a significant amount of time to process, and there aren't any known

+# If the package contains /install/douninst.sh, copy the uninstall script to
+# $ADM_DIR/douninst.sh/$shortname and add the filename to the package list

+#
+# Fri Oct  4 06:04:39 UTC 2019
+# Add support for --no-overwrite so that upgradepkg can be kind to SSDs.
+#
+# Mon Jun  4 21:17:58 UTC 2018
+# Migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
+# /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
+# considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
+# space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
+# (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
+# and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
+# know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
+#
+# Thu May 24 20:23:55 UTC 2018
+# Added --terselength option to set the line length in --terse mode.
+# Allow adding NOLOCK in an install script to allow it to run without locking.
+#
+# Sat May 19 22:42:03 UTC 2018
+# Implement locking to prevent screen output or install script collisions if
+# multiple copies of installpkg are running simultaneously.
+# Use ${MCOOKIE} instead of $$ (might as well, since we already generated it).
+#
+# Tue Apr 17 17:26:44 UTC 2018
+# Quit with the funny business in /install. Note however that /install still
+# isn't a safe directory to use in a package for anything other than package
+# metadata. Other files placed there are going to be left on the system in
+# /installpkg-$(mcookie). That could be worked around, but we'll wait until
+# someone reports there is a need. The main reason to do this is that /install
+# was a collision point if more than one copy of installpkg was running at
+# once. With this change, the pkgtools are (more or less) thread-safe.
+#
+# Tue Feb 13 01:19:46 UTC 2018
+# Use recent tar, and support restoring POSIX ACLs and extended attributes.

+# If possible, use multiple decompression threads.
+#
+# Thu Dec  7 04:09:17 UTC 2017
+# Change meaning of .tlz to tar.lz (lzip)
+#
+# Sun Sep  6 21:58:36 BST 2009
+# Replaced usage of "cat" with STDIN redirection or file name parameters
+# to speed up execution on ARM.
+# Replaced pkgbase & package_name code with 'sed' script by Jim Hawkins.
+#
+# Sat Apr 25 21:18:53 UTC 2009
+# Converted to use new pkgbase() function to remove pathname and
+# valid package extensions.

+# Support additional compression formats if the supporting utilities exist:
+# .tbz - bzip2
+# .tlz - lzma
+# .txz - xz (also LZMA)
+# And of course, .tgz (gzip) is not going anywhere.  :-) <volkerdi>
+# Add command switches to determine the uncompressed package size even if
+# that will slow things down, and to add the package's md5sum to the
+# metadata stored in /var/log/packages/.
+#
+# Fri Dec 21 17:21:35 CST 2007
+# Added a patch from Johnny Morano to work around package removal issues
+# caused by packages that do not comply with FHS combined with a grep
+# regex error in installpkg.  Any package with a single-letter top-
+# level directory could not be removed.
+#
+# Shortened some of the top-line dialog output to avoid overflowing the

+Usage: installpkg [options] <package_filename>
+
+Installpkg is used to install a .t{gz,bz,lz,xz} package like this:
+   installpkg slackware-package-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz)
+
+options:      --warn (warn if files will be overwritten, but do not install)
+              --root /mnt (install someplace else, like /mnt)
+              --infobox (use dialog to draw an info box)
+              --terse (display a one-line short description for install)
+              --terselength <length> (line length in terse mode - default is
+                    the number of columns available)
+              --menu (confirm package installation with a menu, unless
+                    the priority is [required] or ADD)
+              --ask (used with menu mode: always ask if a package should be
+                   installed regardless of what the package's priority is)
+              --priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP (provide a priority for the entire
+                    package list to use instead of the priority in the
+                    tagfile)
+              --tagfile /somedir/tagfile (specify a different file to use
+                    for package priorities. The default is "tagfile" in
+                    the package's directory)
+              --threads <number> For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the max
+                    number of threads to be used for decompression. Only has
+                    an effect if a multithreaded compressor was used, and then
+                    only on large packages. For plzip, the default is equal to
+                    the number of CPU threads available on the machine. For xz,
+                    the default is equal to 2.
+              --md5sum (record the package's md5sum in the metadata file)
+              --no-overwrite When extracting the package, do not overwrite
+                    existing files. Usually, this option should not be used.
+                    It exists so that upgradepkg can use it for the second
+                    installation pass. The first pass has already overwritten
+                    the previous package's files, and this will catch the few
+                    corner cases without generating unnecessary writes.

+Usage: makepkg package_name.tgz

+
+Makes a Slackware compatible package containing the contents of the current
+and all subdirectories. If symbolic links exist, they will be removed and
+an installation script will be made to recreate them later. This script will
+be called "install/doinst.sh". You may add any of your own ash-compatible
+shell scripts to this file and rebuild the package if you wish.
+
+options:  -l, --linkadd y|n (moves symlinks into doinst.sh: recommended)
+          -p, --prepend (prepend rather than append symlinks to an existing
+               doinst.sh.  Useful to link libraries needed by programs in
+               the doinst.sh script)
+          -c, --chown y|n (resets all permissions to root:root 755 - not
+               generally recommended)
+          --threads <number> For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the max
+               number of threads to be used for compression. Only has an
+               effect on large packages. For plzip, the default is equal to
+               the number of CPU threads available on the machine. For xz,
+               the default is equal to 2 (due to commonly occuring memory
+               related failures when using many threads with multi-threaded
+               xz compression).
+          --compress <option> Supply a custom option to the compressor.
+               This will be used in place of the default, which is: -9
+          --acls Support storing POSIX ACLs in the package. The resulting
+               package will not be compatible with pkgtools version < 15.0.
+          --xattrs Support storing extended attributes in the package. The
+               resulting package will not be compatible with pkgtools
+               version < 15.0.
+          --remove-rpaths (remove all rpaths from ELF objects)
+          --remove-tmp-rpaths (remove rpaths from ELF objects if we find one
+               that contains '/tmp')
+

+# Add --skip-douninst option to skip running the uninstall script.
+# Save removed uninstall scripts in /var/log/removed_uninstall_scripts.
+#
+# Tue Mar 31 03:06:25 UTC 2020
+# Support an uninstall script to be executed when the package is removed.
+# The script should be a standard sh script with the same name as the package
+# (without the .txz or other extension), and should be installed in
+# /var/lib/pkgtools/douninst.sh.
+#
+# Tue Jun  5 20:04:45 UTC 2018
+# Use /var/lib/pkgtools for the package database, not /var/log.
+# Logs of the removed packages and scripts will remain in /var/log, but moved
+# into /var/log/pkgtools.
+#
+# Sun May 27 18:02:23 UTC 2018
+# Added --terse mode to print one line per removed package.

+# remove the most recently installed matching package, not the oldest one.
+#
+# Thu Sep 15 08:09:01 BST 2016 <mozes>
+# - Handle finding >1 match for a package.  Thanks to SeB on LQ for the feedback.
+#
+# Wed Sep 14 20:44:00 BST 2016 <mozes>
+# - Modify package_name function to cater for package file names that contain
+#   >=4 hyphens.
+#   Thanks to coralfang on LQ for the report and to Jim Hawkins for the patch.
+# - Modified to handle packages that contain file names with backslashes
+#   Thanks to aaazen on LQ for the report and the patch.
+#

+#
+# Sat Apr 25 21:18:53 UTC 2009 (12.34567890b)

+# Revision 12.34567890 Sun Apr  5 20:59:32 CDT 2009 <volkerdi>
+# - Support packages with the extensions: .tgz, .tbz, .tlz, .txz
+#
+# Revision 1.9 Wed Oct 31 14:04:28 CDT 2007 volkerding
+# - Fix problem removing packages with a large number of fields.
+#   Thanks to Niki Kovacs for noticing this, and to Piter Punk
+#   for the patch.
+# - Use LC_ALL=C locale, which is much faster with "sort".
+#   Thanks to Tsomi.
+# - Don't try to remove any package that starts with '-'.  This
+#   is not a proper package name (usually a typo), and results
+#   in the package database being broken.  Thanks to Jef Oliver.
+# - Patched cat_except() to allow the last Slackware package on
+#   a partition to be removed (using ROOT=, of course)
+#   Thanks to Selkfoster for the patch, and to everyone else who
+#   proposed solutions before.  This issue really wasn't given
+#   the highest priority before, but I figured while I'm in here...
+#
+# Revision 1.8 Thu Nov 22 14:00:13 PST 2001 volkerding Rel $
+# - Move $TMP underneath $ROOT
+# - Understand the idea of a base package name, so that packages

+# Revision 1.7  2001/03/30 12:36:28 volkerding
+# - Strip extra ".tgz" from input names.
+#
+# Revision 1.6  1999/03/25 18:26:41 volkerding
+# - Use external $ROOT variable, like installpkg.
+#
+# Revision 1.5.1  1998/03/18 15:37:28 volkerding
+# - Since removepkg is always run by root, the temp directory has been
+#   moved from /tmp to a private directory to avoid symlink attacks from
+#   malicious users.
+#
+# Revision 1.5  1997/06/26 12:09:53  franke
+# - Fixed old bug in TRIGGER regex setting
+# - -preserve/-copy options now preserve non-unique files
+#   and empty directories also
+#
+# Revision 1.4  1997/06/09 13:21:36  franke
+# - Package file preserve (-preserve, -copy) added.
+# - Don't execute "rm -rf" lines from doinst.sh, removing links explicit.
+# - Warning on no longer existing files added.
+# - Warning on files changed after package installation added.
+# - Intermediate file preserve (-keep) added.
+# - Check for required files/links now done on a combined list.
+# - Write access to /var/log/{packages,scripts} no longer necessary for -warn.

+
+Where "/dev/sda1" is the partition you want to boot, and "ro" specifies that

+the partition read-write, use "rw" instead. To set the video console mode,
+use the vga= parameter (press F1 to see a table). You may also add any other
+kernel parameters you might need depending on your hardware, and which
+drivers are included in your kernel.
