+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pkgtool
+is a menu-driven package maintenance tool provided with the Slackware Linux 
+distribution.  It allows the user to install, remove, or view
+software packages through an interactive
+system.  Pkgtool can also be used to re-run the menu-driven scripts normally
+executed at the end of a Slackware installation.  This is useful for doing
+basic reconfiguration (like changing the mouse type).
+.SH OPTIONS
+Most users will not want to use any options when running
+.B pkgtool.
+These are generally used only when
+.B pkgtool
+is run during the initial system installation.
+Feel free to try them, but be careful.
+.TP
+.B \--sets #A#B#C#
+Install the disk sets A, B, C. Seperate the disk set names by '#' symbols.
+.TP
+.B \--source_mounted
+When this flag is present, 
+.B pkgtool
+will not attempt to unmount and remount the source device with each disk.
+.TP
+.B \--ignore_tagfiles
+When this flag is present, 
+.B pkgtool
+will install every package encountered no matter what the tagfiles say.
+.TP
+.B \--tagfile tagfile
+This flag is used to specify from the command line which tagfile should be
+used for the installation.
+.TP
+.B \--source_dir directory
+Used when installing multiple packages from disk sets. This is the directory
+in which the subdirectories for each disk are found. This isn't used when
+installing from floppy.
+.TP
+.B \--target_dir directory
+The directory where the target root directory is located. This is '/' when 
+installing on the hard drive, or typically '/mnt' when installing from an
+install disk.
+.TP
+.B \--source_device device
+The source device to install from. This is not used if you've provided the
+.B \--source_mounted
+flag. It's usually used when installing from floppy, as in:
+ \--source_device /dev/fd0u1440
+or
+ \--source_device /dev/fd1h1200.
