+Cacti is a complete network graphing solution designed to
+harness the power of RRDTool's data storage and graphing funcionality.
+
+Cacti provides a fast poller, advanced graph templating, multiple
+data acquisition methods, and user-management features out of the box.
+
+All of this is wrapped in an intuitive, easy to use interface that
+makes sense for LAN-sized installations up to complex networks with
+hundreds of devices.
+
+This SlackBuild uses the following defaults:
+* DOCROOT=/var/www/htdocs
+* PHPUSER=root
+* PHPGROUP=apache
+
+Change these at build time if preferred:
+# DOCROOT=/your/preferred/directory \
+ PHPUSER=youruser PHPGROUP=yourgroup \
+ ./cacti.SlackBuild
+
+Requires:
+- rrdtool (available on SlackBuilds.org)
+- httpd, php & mysql (as included in Slackware) configured & running
+
+Check the included documentation to setup your MySQL database and users.
