Just to reiterate: if looking at that route, then just go direct to the
'./texlive.SlackBuild' file and skim-read it:
http://slackware.org.uk/people/rworkman/sources/14.1/texlive/texlive.SlackBuild
; it's the central point - no need to start/get-bogged-down elsewhere. And
go from there - see how the other materials hook-in from there.
