+You will need "postgres" user and group before running the installer, if you
+haven't installed SlackBuilds PostgreSQL you should run these commands to be
+compatible:
+
+  # groupadd -g 209 postgres
+  # useradd -u 209 -g 209 -d /var/lib/pgsql postgres
+
+otherwise, you're already setup. Also, remember to add something like:
+
+  # Start Metasploit Framework PostgreSQL
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.framework-postgres ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.framework-postgres start
+  fi
+
+to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start the shipped PostgreSQL daemon and something
+like:
+
+  # Stop Metasploit Framework PostgreSQL
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.framework-postgres ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.framework-postgres stop
+  fi
+
+to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown to stop the service.
+Default database server listening port is 7175, if you want to use another
+port, just export the PG_PORT variable when running the SlackBuild, like this:
+
+  # PG_PORT="5454" ./framework.SalckBuild
+
+An optional cron script to keep the framework up to date is distributed inside
+the /usr/doc/framework-${VERSION} directory and it's called "msfupdate.sh",
+there also is a logrotate config file called "msfupdate.logrotate" which can
+be useful.
+With older version of the framework, if you used the autoupdate script, future
+package updates could break your current working copy, tainting the .svn
+metadata. To avoid doing so, the tip was to run:
+
+  # removepkg framework
+  # rm -rf /opt/metasploit3
+
+both as root, before proceeding with the package update.
+Starting with Metasploit Framework 3.6.0, the installation directory changed
+again, this time to /opt/framework-${VERSION}. Unless there will be any other
+changes from upstream, this is a great solution as it will enable seamless
+upgrades between svn and packaged versions, just remember to backup PostgreSQL
+data stored inside "/opt/framework-${OLDER_VERSION}/postgresql/data/".
