|

| 18 |
|

| 19 | <para>Most information about these packages (especially the descriptions of
|
|---|
| 20 | them) come from the man pages from those packages. We are not going to print
|
|---|
| 21 | the entire man page, just the core elements to make it possible to
|
|---|
| 22 | understand what a program does. To get knowledge of all details on a program,
|
|---|
| 23 | we suggest you start by reading the complete man page in addition to
|
|---|
| 24 | this appendix.</para>
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | <para>Certain packages are documented in more depth
|
|---|
| 27 | than others, because we just happen to know more about certain
|
|---|
| 28 | packages than I know about others. If anything should be added to the
|
|---|
| 29 | following descriptions, please don't hesitate to email the mailing
|
|---|
| 30 | lists. We intend that the list should contain an in-depth description
|
|---|
| 31 | of every package installed, but we can't do it without help.</para>
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | <para>Please note that currently only what a package does is described and not
|
|---|
| 34 | why it needs to be installed. This may be added later.</para>
