>From http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/:

"The most important pieces of NetworkManager are desktop-environment and 
distribution agnostic, functioning just as well in Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc. 
across distributions like Fedora Core, Ubuntu, SuSE, Debian, and Gentoo."

So if these are the aims.. can I compile Netmanager on slackware without gnome 
? (after long searches, on some gentoo-page, I discovered one has to 'configure 
--without-gnome') and still had to install quite a few other packages: hal, 
dbus, libnl, libgcrypt before to run into the required redhat-specific dhcbd... 
I gave up here, seems to be no end of dependencies.

Maybe it would be VERY helpful if more specific installation/configuring-info 
is given in the README file; i.e. required packages; specific configuration 
options to bypass above problems etc??? 
Or maybe you sould state that the application is only for that restricted set 
of 5 (Fedora Core, Ubuntu, SuSE, Debian, and Gentoo) distributions ...

If anyone can give me some hint how to proceed, that would be very appreciated..
