We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider

+.TH SETUP 8 "21 May 1994" "Slackware Version 2.0.0"
+.SH NAME
+setup \- Slackware system setup tool.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B setup
+.LP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B setup
+is the system installation and setup tool provided with the Slackware Linux
+distribution.
+.LP
+.B setup 
+is usually used to install software packages from your hard drive, a CD,
+NFS, or floppy disks. It is also a frontend for 
+.B pkgtool
+and many configuration scripts that come with various packages, such as the
+scripts which allow you to install LILO, configure your timezone, set your
+keyboard fonts, make bootdisks, and many other tasks.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B HELP
+Read the
+.B setup
+help file.
+.TP
+.B KEYMAP
+Change your keyboard map to one of many international and specialized keymaps
+available. 
+.B NOTE:
+This change will not become permanent unless you go through the 
+.B CONFIGURE option.
+.TP
+.B MAKE TAGS
+This allows you to write out custom tagfiles. A
+.B tagfile
+is a list of package names followed by one of these tags:
+.B ADD
+(required),
+.B SKP
+(skip),
+.B REC
+(recommended) or,
+.B OPT
+(optional). These allow you to completely automate your software installation.
+You can either put these files on the first disk of each disk series 
+(optionally using a custom 3 character extension), or in a custom location
+altogether, such as on a floppy disk in ./a1, ./ap1, ./d1, ..., directories.
+The format of a line in a 
+.B tagfile
+is like this:
+.LP
+package: 
+.B TAG
+.TP
+.B SOURCE
+Select your source media, such as hard disk, NFS, CD, or floppy. You should
+select installation from a directory if your CD or NFS directory has already
+been mounted, as it probably is if you're using 
+.B setup
+on your hard drive.
+.TP
+.B TARGET
+Select your target directory. For testing purposes, you may install the
+packages to a directory other than '/'. Don't expect them to run from there,
+though.
+.TP
+.B DISK SETS
+Select the disk sets you want to install. You can also install custom disk
+sets by tagging the
+.B CUS
+selection. The disk sets must be Slackware-like: they require the diskxxx?
+index on each disk, such as diskxyz1 for the first disk of the XYZ series.
+On the last disk there must be a file called
+.B install.end
+to signal the end of the disk series.
+.TP
+.B INSTALL
+Once you've gone through 
+.B SOURCE
+and
+.B DISK SETS
+( and possibly 
+.B TARGET
+), then you select this choice to go on with the software installation. You'll
+be asked what type of tagfiles you want to use and then 
+.B pkgtool
+will be called to install the software.
+.TP
+.B CONFIGURE
+This option runs through several scripts that configure various aspects of your
+Linux system. These might include LILO installation, timezone configuration,
+and other things.
+.TP
+.B PKGTOOL
+This option calls the 
+.B pkgtool(8)
+utility for you.
+.TP
+.B EXIT
+Exit the
+.B setup
+program.
