HOWTO

# eel
# ===
# Slackware 9.0's 'eel' package includes version 2.2.2, 9.1's includes
# 2.4.0, 10.0 and 10.1's include 2.6.2  As of Slackware 10.2, Gnome is no
# longer included.

# I include several different versions below to cover different releases
# of Gnome.  I'll keep them all updated, but keep in mind that I only
# use Gnome 2.12.x myself.

# If you ever want to uninstall eel, or remove files from an old version
# before installing a new one, cd into the source directory, run 'make
# uninstall' (as root), remove the source directory, then remove the
# tarball.
