+1. Do not Use on production servers
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Do NOT run slacktrack on production servers.
+
+ It should only be run on a development box.
+
+ This is because slacktrack version 2.0 and upwards install onto
+ the filesystem of the server, rather than into a pseudo root.
+
+2. Slackware versions
+ ------------------
+
+ slacktrack has been tested on:
+ - Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0
+ - ARMedslack, all versions.
+
+ 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 -Qp "foobar-4.1-sparc-2.tgz" "/bin/sh foobar.build"
