    <para>Note that there are two additional packages you can install that

    You can install the <ulink
    url="http://mtools.linux.lu/?power-to-the-parliament">Mtools</ulink>
    package to enable the <quote>floppy</quote> ioslave protocol. This will
    allow easy access to the floppy disk drives on your system. The <ulink
    url="http://packages.debian.org/stable/source/hfsplus">hfsplus</ulink>
    package can be installed to access HFS+ partitions on a Mac OS system
    using the <quote>mac</quote> ioslave.</para>

    <para>One additional package that can be used at run time is <xref
    linkend="pciutils"/>.  This enables the <application>KDE Info
    Center</application> to use <application>lspci</application> for its "pci"
    info section.</para>

    <para>Another package usable at run time is <ulink
    url="http://www.htdig.org">htdig</ulink>. The enables <command>

    manuals.</para>
