HOWTO

# GNU adns 1.6.1
# ==============
# As this is written, there is no Slackware package for adns
# I use the default prefix /usr/local below, but if a Slackware package is
# added in the future, I would change it to /usr to match the paths in that.
#
# Here are 3rd party options for packages if you do not want to install it
# from source yourself or just want to see how they did it.  I have not
# tried them.
# Slackers package via slackware.pkgs.org
# ftp.belnet.be hosted package for the salixos.org Slackware-based distribution
