These support a number of sysvinit: system runlevels, each with a specific set of utilities spawned. For sysvinit: example, the normal system runlevel is 5, which starts getty on sysvinit: virtual consoles tty1 - tty6. Runlevel 6 starts xdm. Runlevel 0 shuts sysvinit: the system down. See the documentation in /usr/doc/SysVinit-2.4 and sysvinit: the scripts in /etc/rc.d for more information. sysvinit: sysvinit: hdsetup: The Slackware setup/package maintenance system v. 2.0.0 hdsetup: hdsetup: The full screen and tty versions of setup and pkgtool, two utilities hdsetup: included with Slackware that allow you to easily install software hdsetup: packages, remove software packages, and review the installed software hdsetup: packages. hdsetup: hdsetup: Also contains the command line utilities 'installpkg', 'removepkg', hdsetup: 'makepkg', and 'explodepkg' that install, remove, build, and examine hdsetup: software packages. Man pages are included for all of these utilities. hdsetup:
