+Some hints for using this package alongside Slackware's default
+init system:
+
+I added the following to my /etc/inittab:
+
+ # S6
+ sv:12345:respawn:/sbin/s6-svscanboot
+
+Then did a 'telinit q' to start it.
+
+Note that the default s6-svscanboot provided disables polling
+(-t0). So after adding a new service to /service you should call:
+
+ /bin/s6-svscanctl -a /service
+
+where /service is a directory that contains all the services that
+s6 will supervise. You can change it to other places such as
+/etc/service, /var/service, etc., and edit the provided
+/sbin/s6-svscanboot script to change the scan directory to the new
+service directory (i.e. change /service in the script to the new service
+directory).
