In that case, the other package will also be running mkfontdir/mkfontscale after the files are installed, so any issues will be cleaned up then.

+Slackware PXE Server Help
+_________________________
+
+First, a little help on help. Whenever you encounter a text
+viewer like this during the installation, you can move around
+with these commands:
+
+PGDN/SPACE - Move down one page
+PGUP/'b' - Move up one page
+ENTER/DOWN/'j' - Move down one line
+UP/'k' - Move up one line
+LEFT/'h' - Scroll left
+RIGHT/'l' - Scroll right
+'0' - Move to beginning of line
+HOME/'g' - Move to beginning of file
+END/'G' - Move to end of file
+'/' - Forward search
+'?' - Backward search
+'n' - Repeat last search (forward)
+
+Also, you're running a real multitasking operating system now, so
+you're not confined to the installation program. You can log into
+other consoles and look around at any time without disturbing the
+installation process. To do this, you need to learn the commands
+that control the Linux console. You'll use these commands all the
+time when you're logged into Linux.
+
+"Virtual" consoles and scrollback:
+
+Right now, the screen you're looking at is probably VIRTUAL CONSOLE
+NUMBER ONE, (or /dev/tty1 in Linux-speak). There are usually
+several virtual consoles available. When you log into the install
+disk, there are four consoles. To switch among them, use Alt-F1,
+Alt-F2, Alt-F3, or Alt-F4 to select which of the four consoles you
+wish to use. While you're using a console, you get a small amount
+of text scrollback buffer. To scroll the console back, hold down
+the right shift key and hit PageUp. To scroll the console forward,
+hit PageDown while holding the right shift key down. This can be
+especially useful for reading the boot messages, which can go by
+too fast to read otherwise.
+
+
+RUNNING THE PXESETUP PROGRAM
+
+
+The pxesetup main menu is kept as easy as possible, because only a
+limited configuration is needed.
+
+
+NETWORK (configure the network device and optional DHCP server)
+SOURCE (select the source location for the Slackware Linux
+ packages)
+ACTIVATE (start the PXE server)
+
+
+In the NETWORK configuration stage, you configure an IP address for
+your network card. If you have already a DHCP server in your local
+network, the pxesetup program will offer you the choice of using the
+DHCP server to configure your network device fully automatic, but
+there is always the option to enter an IP address manually. If no
+DHCP server has been detected running inside your local network,
+then pxesetup will start its own DHCP server (we need one). You will
+get the chance to define the IP address range which that internal
+DHCP server uses. You should check the lower and upper IP addresses
+carefully and verify that none of your local network's computers,
+including your local gateway, use an IP address in that DHCP range.
+If you spot a conflict, you can adjust these lower and upper bounds.
+Press 'Accept' once you are satisfied.
+
+In the SOURCE configuration stage, you determine where you have
+your local Slackware copy. This should be a complete directory
+tree including the packages, the kernels and the isolinux directory.
+The package sources are not needed and can be omitted from the medium
+if you are using a bootable USB stick for instance. The choices
+for SOURCE location are: a DVD medium, a local disk partition or
+a pre-mounted directory. These are the standard setup dialogs you
+will certainly know from installing Slackware. Be sure to enter the
+full directory path to (and including) the directory which contains
+the 'a', 'ap', 'd', ..., 'y' subdirectiries. You know the drill.
+
+
+When you are done configuring NETWORK and SOURCE, it is time to
+ACTIVATE your PXE server. The screen will show a live view of the
+server's connection log for client boot requests. This goes on
+until you press 'Exit' which will drop you back into the main menu
+after killing the PXE service. Selecting ACTIVATE will restart the
+PXE service. Computers who boot from your PXE server will see the
+usual Slackware installation routine. When it comes to selecting the
+SOURCE, these computers have one choice, and is the entry "Install
+from FTP/HTTP server". The PXE server offers Slackware packages to
+willing computers using its own internal HTTP server. The default
+values that you will see for the URL and the PATH input fields are
+being supplied by the PXE server and should not be changed.
+
+
+...WHEN YOU'RE DONE:
+
+
+EXIT: This leaves Slackware PXE Server setup.
+
+
+Have fun running this PXE server!
