Do you want to compare ownerships/permissions with those listed on your
system with those in MANIFEST.bz2? If so, I've written a perl script
that can do this:
<http://www.mark.ukfsn.org/nix/slackware/comparepkg.txt>
(You'll have bunzip2 the MANIFEST.bz2 file before use.)

If you want to find 'orphan' files that aren't listed in MANIFEST.bz2,
then perhaps this recent posting will help:

As root:
find / > /tmp/all-files.txt
(This will take some time.)

However, you may want to skip some directories like /home. man find has
details on how you can make find do this.
