|

| 14 | hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment
|
---|
| 15 | while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized

[071a954] | 27 | <para>The first three packages are the XFree86 programs, the fourth and fifth are fonts,
|
---|
| 28 | the sixth is normal documantation, and the seventh is hardcopy documentation.
|
---|
| 29 | There are also two packages <filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, which
|
---|
| 30 | contain programs to regenerate hardcopy documentation, and
|
---|
| 31 | <filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename>, which contain <filename>gnutar</filename>
|

| 32 | and <filename>zlib</filename> which are already installed on an LFS system.
