[b822811]16<para>The packages are listed in the same order as they are installed in
17chapter 5 (Intel system) or chapter 11 (PPC systems).</para>
[6370fa6]18
[b822811]19<para>Most information about these packages (especially the descriptions of
[6370fa6]20it) come from the man pages from those packages. I'm not going to print
[7d90bd3]21the entire man page, just the core elements to make it possible to understand
22 what
23a program does. To get knowledge of all details on a program, I suggest
[b822811]24to start by reading the complete man page in addition to this appendix.</para>
[6370fa6]25
[b822811]26<para>Certain packages are documented more in depth
[7d90bd3]27than others, because I just happen to know more about certain
28packages than I know about others. If anything should be added on the
[6370fa6]29following descriptions, please don't hesitate to email me. This list is
30going to contain an in depth description of every package installed, but
31I can't do this on my own. I have had help from various people but more
[b822811]32help is needed.</para>
[6370fa6]33
[b822811]34<para>Please note that currently only what a package does is described and not
35why it needs to be installed. That will be added later.</para>
