You mean the scripts that are in most or all packages, that have

Thanks for youre reply. What I mean is the setup script used
immediately after booting off the installation disk, in order to make a
new installation.

Some are, what's the problem you're trying to address?

No these scripts are not present on the installed system. They are
only part of the installer image.

That's not entirely true. They are just not in any default PATH.

You can find them in /var/log/setup

Hope you find what you're looking for.

No, it was entirely true, at least for "setup". "setup" is not
installed by any package into $ROOT by the installer. In fact, the
installer is the one and only place you can find this script, apart
from the Slackware source archive of course. /var/log/setup only
contains some of the scripts used to install the OS, namely those that
might come in handy later on. "setup" isn't among them.

Yep, but pkgtool -> Setup will re-run the last bits of the install if you
can't remember the script names, for example, xwmconfig.

Any reason why? Would have been handy the other day when trying to build a
root file system on an SD card. Ended up using Qemu.

It is not used by Slackware after installation, is why.

You can easily extract the setup script from the initrd.img file using
cpio.

Would it do any harm if left?

Did not know that. Have never felt the need for cpio before.
