-Slim is a lightweight login manager based on GNUstep's Login.app
-It makes a great replacement for XDM for those who want something
-that looks good, but still do not want Gnome or KDE.
-
-This package also includes a BSD-style rc.d script to start slim;
-you will need to make /etc/rc.d/rc.slim executable:
- chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.slim
-
-Also, you will need to add something like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
- if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.slim ]; then
- /etc/rc.d/rc.slim start
- fi
-
-Note that your system should use runlevel 3 for this to work.
-I (rworkman) did a bit of tinkering to try and make slim work properly
-from runlevel 4 (starting it from rc.4) a few versions ago, but I was
-not successful, and it wasn't worth the effort to continue.
-
-Finally, if you have PAM installed and wish to build slim with support
-for it, have a look inside the build script for instructions; otherwise,
-it will work as is.

+Included is a custom Slackware theme that goes nicely with the lilo boot

+should see README.SLACKWARE for configuration hints (this file is also
+installed into the package's documentation directory).
