Sous-marin tools are bash scripts for analyzing and maintaining a minimized Slackware installation. They can all be used on normal Slackware installations as well.

This release combines all tools in a single tarball. It is also the first sous-marin release of what was formerly Slack Bash Scripts. Because some scripts rely on the output of other scripts, this style of release avoids missing tools. Documentation, beyond normal internal script help and usage output, will remain on the Web site to avoid further versioning confusion.
This release adds footprint.sh, which gives the Mb
footprint of selected partitions and the overall installed package count. It alters postpkg by removing the call to
updatedb.
postpkg was added, which contains all elements of the run-control scripts pertaining to software changes. On a single-user box that is not a server, it makes more sense for these to come out of the boot sequence and be run after package and software alterations. Removing postpkg elements from the rc scripts (and any other bits you never use) dramatically speeds up the boot time.
