+The TeXLive Package Manager, i.e. tlmgr(1), is not shipped with this

-The *proper* way to upgrade TeXLive (or any part of it) is through your
-distribution's package manager, which in this case would mean that you wait
-for a new/updated build script from SlackBuilds.org (or a package from the
-person who built your package). If you elect to try tlmgr(1) (by installing
-it yourself) and it doesn't work at all, or worse, it messes up part of your
-TeXLive installation, you have only yourself to blame.
+The *proper* way to upgrade the TeXLive Slackware package (or any
+part of it) is through your Slackware's package manager. If you
+elect to try tlmgr(1), and it doesn't work at all, or worse, it messes
+up part of your TeXLive installation, too bad. On the other hand,
+if you are able to document exactly what we need to do in order to
+make it:
+ 1) work
+ 2) put updates and such in a user-specific directory, i.e.
+ *not* alter/replace system package contents
+then we would love to hear from you. :-)
