+The Metasploit Framework is a development platform for creating security
+tools and exploits. The framework is used by network security professionals
+to perform penetration tests, system administrators to verify patch
+installations, product vendors to perform regression testing, and security
+researchers world-wide. The framework is written in the Ruby programming
+language and includes components written in C and assembler.
+
+This is just a repackaged version of the installer you get from the Metasploit
+download page. This is an all-in-one installer with Metasploit's own versions
+of Ruby, Java, and PostgreSQL.
+
+Take a look at README.SLACKWARE for important build requirements and upgrading
+suggestions.
