-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B pkgtool
-is a menu-driven package maintenance tool provided with the Slackware Linux
-distribution. It allows the user to install, remove, or view
-software packages through an interactive
-system. Pkgtool can also be used to re-run the menu-driven scripts normally
-executed at the end of a Slackware installation. This is useful for doing
-basic reconfiguration (like changing the mouse type).
-.SH OPTIONS
-Most users will not want to use any options when running
-.B pkgtool.
-These are generally used only when
-.B pkgtool
-is run during the initial system installation.
-Feel free to try them, but be careful.
-.TP
-.B \--sets #A#B#C#
-Install the disk sets A, B, C. Seperate the disk set names by '#' symbols.
-.TP
-.B \--source_mounted
-When this flag is present,
-.B pkgtool
-will not attempt to unmount and remount the source device with each disk.
-.TP
-.B \--ignore_tagfiles
-When this flag is present,
-.B pkgtool
-will install every package encountered no matter what the tagfiles say.
-.TP
-.B \--tagfile tagfile
-This flag is used to specify from the command line which tagfile should be
-used for the installation.
-.TP
-.B \--source_dir directory
-Used when installing multiple packages from disk sets. This is the directory
-in which the subdirectories for each disk are found. This isn't used when
-installing from floppy.
-.TP
-.B \--target_dir directory
-The directory where the target root directory is located. This is '/' when
-installing on the hard drive, or typically '/mnt' when installing from an
-install disk.
-.TP
-.B \--source_device device
-The source device to install from. This is not used if you've provided the
-.B \--source_mounted
-flag. It's usually used when installing from floppy, as in:
- \--source_device /dev/fd0u1440
-or
- \--source_device /dev/fd1h1200.
