+After installing this package, make sure the /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd
+script is executable; if necessary, do:
+ chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd
+
+Results have varied, but you will probably need/want to remove
+any references to interfaces from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf - in
+other words, make that file look as if netconfig has never been
+run.
+
+When you start X, you should see a wicd icon in the system tray;
+click on it to open the gui interface and configure as desired.
+Your user account will need to be a member of the 'netdev' group
+in order to use wicd.
+
+Note that urwid will need to be installed if you want to use the
+curses client.
+
+Also, if you don't have kde installed, you won't have a graphical
+sudo client available; you might wish to consider ktsuss from
+SlackBuilds.org.
