[[[ Emerde 1.0.4-1 "BETA" release ]]]
		:: Ultimate packages solution for Slackware ::
                	 http://emerde.freaknet.org/

Emerde is the port of Gentoo's portage system that installs, removes, updates, 
mantains your system rapidly and easily. Furthermore on Slackware distribution it 
cooperates with the Slackware's db and allows to install .tgz files directly, using
dependeces checking.

If you want to port it for other distros follow the instructions at the end of the README.

You can do whatever you want to do with Emerde, feel free to use it
on your own.

I don't take any responsibilities if you'll get in troubles with emerde (^_-)

***** Porting Emerde to other distros

  If you want to port Emerde into other system you must have all the packages of your
  system updated (Glibc 2.3.2, Gcc 3.2.3, etc...) then you want to reflect the system
  configuration editing the conf files that the install script shows to you.
  
  Then run "install.sh --nopor", follow the install instructions,
  cross your fingers and Enjoy it! (^_^)

Note: You must have python 2.2.1 installed in your system.
    : Emerde in this moment was tested in Slack 9.1, Mandrake, Redhat 8.0/9.0 and fedora
    : linux so if you successfull port it to other system let us know
