+PROMPT MODE HELP
+
+Software packages are about to be transfered onto your
+hard drive. Several options exist for selecting which
+packages you wish to install.
+
+If you select "full", the install program will just go
+ahead and install everything from the disk sets
+you have selected. If you've got enough disk space, this
+should work fine. You'll have some packages you don't
+need on your hard drive, though, like fairly large X
+servers for display hardware you don't own. Not a problem,
+if you run short of space, go into /var/log/packages and
+read any or all of the files with 'less' to see what
+packages you have installed, and remove any unnecessary
+ones using 'removepkg'.
+
+For people who know what they want to install and would
+like to select the packages from menus instead of
+individually, there are two menu installation modes:
+"menu" and "expert".
+
+"menu" mode puts up a menu at the start of each series of
+packages, from which you can install systems such as
+the GNU C/C++ compiler, or the Linux source code. It's
+easy to use, and makes installation go much faster than
+"newbie" mode.
+
+"expert" mode is similar, but allows the toggling of every
+individual package. This offers the greatest control over
+what gets installed on the machine, but can be tricky for
+beginners.
+
+The so-called "newbie" mode will follow a defaults file in
+the first directory of each series you install that will
+install some required package automatically, while prompting
+you about the rest of them, one by one. This mode of
+installation _really_ is no longer recommended. There are
+so many packages now that the time added to the installation
+is quite significant, and the chance of accidentally leaving
+out an important package is high. If you haven't installed
+Slackware before, the best thing to do is make sure you have
+plenty of space and go for a "full" installation.
+
+About the "tagfile" files:
+
+The package installation defaults are user definable - you
+may set any package to be added or skipped automatically by
+editing your choices into a file called TAGFILE that will be
+found on the first disk of each series. The tagfile contains
+all the instructions needed to completely automate your
+installation.
+
+NOTE: Software may be added to your system after the
+initial installation. Just type 'setup' to add software
+to your system. Another script, 'pkgtool', may be used to
+add software packages from the current directory, or to
+cleanly remove packages that you want uninstalled. Also,
+command line utilities (installpkg, removepkg, makepkg,
+etc) are available, and (once learned) more efficient to
+use. These are what I use for package management.
+
+If you use tagfiles, you might want to use a custom
+tagfile that you have created yourself instead of the
+default ones that come with Slackware (the ones named
+'tagfile'). For instance, I use custom tagfiles called
+'tagfile.pat' that you might see on your disks. :^) You
+make a custom tagfile by copying the 'tagfile' on the
+first disk of a series to a file named 'tagfile.???'
+where .??? is a custom extension of your choosing. (I use
+'.pat') Once you've done this, you can edit the defaults
+any way you like. (but be careful about changing stuff
+that was installed by default)
+
+To use a custom tagfile, just choose "custom" on the
+prompt mode menu, and enter your custom extension. Any
+tagfiles with this extension will then be used for the
+duration of the installation. If at any point a tagfile
+with that extension cannot be found, the default tagfile
+will be used instead.
