1.  Use on production servers
    -------------------------

    Do NOT run slacktrack on production servers.  It should only
    be run on a development box.

2.  Slackware versions
    ------------------

    slacktrack has only been tested on Slackware 8.1 & Slackware v9.
    and Splack (Slackware on SPARC, using Slackware 9's pkgtools & tar-1.13).

    It may works on previous releases of Slackware, it may not.

3.  slacktrack default working space
    --------------------------------

    By default, slacktrack puts its work space in 
    /var/tmp/<randomnumber>slacktrack

    It is essential that you have enough disk space on the
    partition on which /var/tmp resides - particularly if you use
    ${SLACKTRACKSCRATCHDIR}

    If you do not have enough space in /var/tmp then you can
    pass --tempdir to slacktrack to change the base temporary directory.

    eg you may do
    # slacktrack --tempdir /tmp/slacktrack -jefknzp "foobar-4.1-sparc-2.tgz" "/bin/sh foobar.build"



You have been warned.
