- <title>Introduction</title>
- <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>
