WELCOME!

 A SlackBuild script is nothing more than a list of commands structured in such a 
 way as to end up with a binary Slackware-based package that can be installed via 
 pkgtool, installpkg or upgradepkg. All commands are standard Linux commands such as 
 make, gcc and cat. This is almost exactly like building the packages from source by 
 hand, EXCEPT that it's all automated and repeatable.
 
 A NOTE:
 
 Due to the greatly increased number of contributions I have recently restuctured 
 SlackBuild Central. The start page was really starting to get too long. These are
 the new categories:

 generic.builder/	-- Generic build scripts that are known to work with _most_
			   Slackware and Slackware-based distributions. Some tweaks
			   may be necessary to individual scripts, depending on which
			   distribution you're building the packages on. The "filesize"
			   utility (found in this directory) may be needed for these
			   scripts, depending on the distribution you build them on.

 slack.8.1.builder/	-- Build scripts specific to Slackware 8.1. Many thanks go
 			   to Bruno Henrique Collovini for creating and contributing 
 			   this series.
 			   
 slack.9.0.builder/	-- Alak Trakru's first collection of scripts for Slackware 9.0.
 
 slack.9.1.builder/	-- The most recent addition until 12/12/04. A huge "thank you" to Alak 
 			   Trakru for his work in creating such a large number of SlackBuilds 
 			   for this Slackware release.
 			   
 			   Thanks to Fabien Soulier for his cowsay contribution. Another
 			   "thank you" goes to Juuso Raitala for a number of recent 
 			   contributions.
 
 slack.10.0.builder/	-- Now the most recent addition. Another "thank you" to Alak Trakru 
 			   for his work on the latest Slackware release (as of this writing).
 			   
 slackintosh.builder/	-- Gnome packages dedicated to Slackware on the Macintosh. These 
 			   scripts were provided by Boris Bezlaj. The original ftp site is at
			   ftp://ftp.knjiznica-jesenice.org/pub/slackintosh/source/gnome/

   Enjoy!
