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. +.SH AUTHOR +Patrick J.
