   Creating a custom Slackware package with some configuration settings   
   (like a customized startup script) is a good way to document your custom   
   changes. There are of course also other ways like keeping notes on paper   
   och copying those customized files to a separate directory for each   
   macine.   
      
   Custom Slackware packages are great if you intend to apply the same   
   customizations to multiple machines.
