+To hear the in-game music, either use the Music Pack (see
+eduke32_hires_pack), or else install a set of MIDI patches (either
+freepats or eawpats) from slackbuilds.org. The game looks for
+/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg, but timidity doesn't actually have to be
+installed.
+
+By default, the Build utilities (kextract kgroup transpal wad2art wad2map)
+are built by this script and installed in /usr/games. If you don't want
+these, you can set BUILD_UTILS=no in the environment before running the
+SlackBuild script.

+Note for 64-bit users: Despite the "32" in the name, this software
+builds and runs just fine as 64-bit native binaries :)
