+README.SLACKWARE for rsyslog
+
+The package contains the /etc/rc.d/rc.rsyslogd init script which will
+start rsyslogd.
+
+Since rsyslog basically supersedes the klogd/syslogd daemons, the stock
+Slackware sysklogd package should be removed and its leftovers cleaned up:
+
+ 1. Remove useless logrotate configuration:
+
+ rm /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
+
+ 2. Make rsyslog start automatically on boot, without modifications to rc.M:
+
+ cd /etc/rc.d && ln -sf rc.rsyslogd rc.syslog
+ cd /usr/sbin && ln -sf rsyslogd syslogd
+
+To make the transition even easier, you will find /etc/rsyslog.conf in the
+proper format, which was converted from sysklogd's syslog.conf.
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.rsyslogd is written to emulate syslogd. To prevent rc.inet1
+from attempting to run rc.syslog again, rc.syslogd will copy/remove the
+/var/run/syslogd.pid file on successful start/stop invocations.
+
