| 16 | <para>The packages are listed in the same order as they are installed in

|

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