+# This is a simple script to install a package series from the command line.
+# If you're already running Slackware, you can just run this script to install
+# the packages.
+#
+# I originally got the idea for this tool because Slackware with both KDE and
+# GNOME doesn't fit on a single CD-ROM anymore, so I wanted to provide a quick
+# way to add a series later on with the same ease as the initial installation.
+#
+# To use this script, just run it as root in the current directory like this:
+#
+# ./install-packages
+#
+# Note that this script does not make any attempt to remove or upgrade existing
+# packages. If you want to upgrade an existing installation, you will be better
+# served using the pkgtools directly. Here's how to upgrade all the packages in
+# this series:
+#
+# upgradepkg *.t?z (upgrades already installed packages)
+# installpkg *.t?z (installs all packages, to make sure new ones are installed)
+#
+# If you upgrade a series like this, afterwards you might need to merge over any
+# required changes in the new config files, which will have the suffix .new.
+# These can be found like this:
+#
+# find / -name "*.new"
+#
+# OK, on with the show! Enjoy! :-)

+# Use the existing maketag script to provide a package selection menu:
+sh maketag
+
+# Quick bail if nothing was requested:
+if grep ADD /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
+ true
+else
+ rm -f /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag
+ exit
+fi
+
+# Install the selected packages:
+for PKG in *.t?z ; do
+ if [ ! "$ROOT" = "" ]; then
+ installpkg -root $ROOT -infobox -tagfile /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag $PKG
+ else
+ installpkg -infobox -tagfile /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag $PKG
+ fi
