 ---- ----
 +=== The Automated Way ===
 +There is a new, automated way of installing Bumblebee thanks to Slacker: Ryan McQuen.
 +<note warning>USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
 +If you have modified the SlackBuilds in any way, this script may not be for you.</note>
 +
 +You can run this as root:
 +<code>
 +curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanpcmcquen/linuxTweaks/master/slackware/crazybee.sh | sh
 +</code>
 +
 +Alternatively you can download the script and run it as root on your system directly.
 +
 +This script detects multilib, creates the necessary group, adds users and applies the necessary /etc/rc.d/rc.local entries.
 +
 +It also uses upgradepkg's --reinstall --install-new features for use after kernel upgrades.

 A fellow Slacker, jgeboski, originally provided SlackBuilds that mostly follow the [[http://www.slackbuilds.org/guidelines/|SlackBuilds.org]] requirements for Bumblebee. Now, another Slacker has taken over where he has left off on his own [[https://github.com/WhiteWolf1776/Bumblebee-SlackBuilds|github repo]]. Remember to check which directory you're in first, as they will be downloaded to that directory. Assuming you're ready, the SlackBuilds can simply be git cloned as such. Then we're going to change into the new directory and begin the build process. A fellow Slacker, jgeboski, originally provided SlackBuilds that mostly follow the [[http://www.slackbuilds.org/guidelines/|SlackBuilds.org]] requirements for Bumblebee.
