+README.SLACKWARE
+================
+
+Some post-installation tips:
+
+1) PATH environment variable
+
+As the binaries of BRL-CAD are installed in /opt/brlcad/bin, you will need to
+log out & log in after installing the package, as the script that sets the
+PATH variable (/etc/profile.d/brlcad.{c,}sh) is only started when logging in.
+
+2) man pages
+
+To read the brlcad man-pages, use "brlman <subject>" from the command line.
+This was necessary, as some of BRL-CAD's man-pages conflict with standard man-
+pages. Example: "man kill" explains how to kill a process, while "brlman kill"
+explains how to remove an object from a model.
