 DejaVu fonts included with Slackware are based on the Bitstream fonts).
 
 NOTES:
-1) Google updates the GoogleEarth bin-file without changing the download
-   link location and they don't use version numbering in the filename 
-   (the version is more an internal numbering).  
-   
-   Therefore, this script is subject to failing (and a different MD5SUM) 
-   at any time due to the fact that you might get a newer version 
-   of GoogleEarth than what the script is designed to use. Please notify 
-   the maintainer if this is the case.

-2) Google Earth 7 is "LSB compliant" meaning it was built on a LSB system. 
-   Slackware however does not have that symlink which is part of the LSB 3.0 
-   specification. You'll need to create the symlink manually after installing 
-   the package:
-    
-   32-bit:    ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
-   64-bit:    ln -sf /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

-3) Google Earth tends to crash when the 65-fonts-persian.conf is available on
-   the system. Please remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf prior to
-   launching this application. The easiest way to do this is:
+1) Google Earth 7 is "LSB compliant" meaning it was built on a LSB
+   system.  Slackware however does not have that symlink which is part
+   of the LSB 3.0 specification.  Before, you had to add that symlink
+   manually; that is now handled in doinst.sh.

+2) Google Earth sometimes crashes when the 65-fonts-persian.conf is
+   available on the system. If you experience crashes, try removing
+   /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf prior to launching this
+   application. The easiest way to do this is:
 
             mv /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf \
                /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf.old

+3) GoogleEarth requires that you have OpenGL drivers installed on your
    system (and Xorg configured to use them). Not doing so will cause X
    to crash.
 
-5) On 32 bit, the VERSION is still at 7.3.0.3832.
+4) This is the legacy version 7.3.0, which is confirmed to run on
+   Slackware 14.2.  The newer versions (7.3.1 and later) tend to hang
+   on 14.2.  On startup, a nag screen will pop up advising you that a
+   new version is availble, which you can safely ignore.
