+Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash
+firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices.
+
+The "Heimdall Suite" is composed by:
+Heimdall command line
+Heimdall Frontend.
+
+Heimdall command line package includes: Heimdall command line tool and
+udev rules (for non-root USB access).
+Heimdall Frontend package includes: Heimdall Frontend - graphical UI only.
+
+So, this script comes with an option (GUI) that can be set at build time.
+The default is GUI=yes, but if you don't want to install the frontend, you
+could do that by setting GUI to 'no' in command line:
+GUI=no ./heimdall.SlackBuild
+
+Don't forget to reloaded udev after installing this package
+/etc/rc.d/rc.udev reload
+

+DISCLAIMER:
+
+ This software attempts to flash your Galaxy S device. The very nature of
+ flashing is dangerous. As with all flashing software, Heimdall has the
+ potential to damage (brick) your phone if not used carefully. If you're
+ concerned, don't use this software. Flashing ROMs onto your phone may also
+ void your warranty. Benjamin Dobell and Glass Echidna are not responsible
+ for the result of your actions.
