rb3b10a0 rcca5d8a 2 2 <title>Introduction to <application><acronym>GPM</acronym></application></title> 3 3 4 <para>The <application><acronym>GPM</acronym></application> package contains a 5 mouse server for the console and <command>xterm</command>. This is useful for 6 cutting and pasting text in console mode, and also because many console-based 7 programs need it to compile mouse support into themselves.</para> 4 <para>The <application><acronym>GPM</acronym></application> (General 5 Purpose Mouse daemon) package contains a mouse server for the console 6 and <command>xterm</command>. It not only provides cut and paste support 7 generally, but its library component is used by various software such as 8 <application>Links</application> to provide mouse support to the 9 application generally. It is useful on desktops, especially if following 10 (Beyond) Linux From Scratch instructions - it's often much easier (and 11 less error prone) to cut and paste between two console windows than to 12 type everything by hand!</para> 8 13 9 14 <sect3><title>Package information</title>
