You must have root privileges to start it. + +It has some flaws, though. Resizing it is not that beautiful, and +there are also some spelling issues. + +Note that the slackins binary will install with root:wheel ownership +and mode 4750, meaning that it's setuid root and executable only by +root and members of the wheel group. This should be a safe enough +approach since this will prevent everyone else from executing it, +and even so, slackins will prompt for the root password before doing +anything. If you don't want to install the binary suid, then run +the build script as follows: + SETSUID=no ./slackins.SlackBuild |
