<para>This appendix describes the following aspect of each and every package
|
|
that is installed in this book:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para> What every package contains</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para> What every program from a package does</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The packages are listed in the same order as they are installed in
|
|
chapter 5 (Intel system) or chapter 11 (PPC systems).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Most information about these packages (especially the descriptions of
|
|
it) come from the man pages from those packages. I'm not going to print
|
|
the entire man page, just the core elements to make it possible to understand
|
|
what
|
|
a program does. To get knowledge of all details on a program, I suggest
|
|
to start by reading the complete man page in addition to this appendix.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Certain packages are documented more in depth
|
|
than others, because I just happen to know more about certain
|
|
packages than I know about others. If anything should be added on the
|
|
following descriptions, please don't hesitate to email me. This list is
|
|
going to contain an in depth description of every package installed, but
|
|
I can't do this on my own. I have had help from various people but more
|
|
help is needed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Please note that currently only what a package does is described and not
|
|
why it needs to be installed. That will be added later.</para>
