UPGRADING FROM SLACKWARE:
First read the file README.RIGHT.NOW. Then:
2.x: This version of Slackware used a different boot up scripts
from the later versions. For your convenience the bootscripts
from slackware 3.0 (that should work) are included in the
slackware/ directory. You'll have to install them yourself.
3.x: You shouldn't have to upgrade the boot scripts.
You should just re-install the following binaries into /sbin:
halt
init
shutdown
runlevel
killall5
reboot should be a symbolic link to halt
pidof should be a symbolic link to killall5
