|

| 22 | <para>
|
---|
| 23 | The packages are listed in the same order as they are installed in
|

| 24 | chapter 5 (Intel system) or chapter 11 (PPC systems).

|

| 27 | <para>
|
---|
| 28 | Most information about these packages (especially the descriptions of
|
---|
| 29 | it) come from the man pages from those packages. I'm not going to print
|
---|
| 30 | the entire man page, just the core elements to make you understand what
|
---|
| 31 | a program does. If you want to know full details on a program, I suggest
|
---|
| 32 | you start by reading the complete man page in addition to this appendix.
|
---|
| 33 | </para>
|
---|
| 34 |
|
---|
| 35 | <para>
|
---|
| 36 | You will also find that certain packages are documented more in depth
|
---|
| 37 | than others. The reason is that I just happen to know more about certain
|
---|
| 38 | packages than I know about others. If you have anything to add on the
|
---|
| 39 | following descriptions, please don't hesitate to email me. This list is
|
---|
| 40 | going to contain an in depth description of every package installed, but
|
---|
| 41 | I can't do this on my own. I have had help from various people but more
|
---|
| 42 | help is needed.

|

| 46 | Please note that currently only what a package does is described and not
|
---|
| 47 | why you need to install it. That will be added later.
