+The Metasploit Framework is a development platform for creating
+security tools and exploits. The framework is used by network
+security professionals to perform penetration tests, system
+administrators to verify patch installations, product vendors to
+perform regression testing, and security researchers world-wide.
+The framework is written in the Ruby programming language and
+includes components written in C and assembler.
+
+This is just a repackaged version of the tarball you get from the
+Metasploit download page. To succesfully run the framework web
+interface, install the rubygems package (avalaible on SlackBuilds.org)
+and then get the Ruby On Rails gem via the commannd:
+
+# gem install -v=1.2.2 rails
+
+If you want to use the Autopwn feature of metasploit, install the
+PostgreSQL database server (also avalaible on SlackBuilds.org) and
+create a "metasploit3" database.
+Finally, if you want to run the selfupdate feature, be sure you
+have subversion installed.
