Total size of all packages (compressed): 42 MB Total size of all packages (uncompressed): 116 MB PACKAGE NAME: lvm-1.0.8-i486-2.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/ap PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 326 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 1140 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: lvm: lvm (Logical Volume Manager) lvm: lvm: Heinz Mauelshagen's LVM (Logical Volume Manager) for Linux. lvm: LVM adds an additional layer between the physical peripherals and the lvm: I/O interface in the 2.4.x kernel to get a logical view of disks. lvm: This allows the concatenation of several disks (so-called physical lvm: volumes or PVs) to form a storage pool (so-called Volume Group or VG) lvm: with allocation units called physical extents (called PE). With LVM, lvm: you can actually extend, resize, or relocate storage dynamically. lvm: lvm: PACKAGE NAME: sudo-1.6.8p4-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/ap PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 132 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 300 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: sudo: sudo (give limited root privileges to certain users) sudo: sudo: 'sudo' is a command that allows users to execute some commands as sudo: root. The /etc/sudoers file (edited with 'visudo') specifies which sudo: users have access to sudo and which commands they can run. 'sudo' sudo: logs all its activities to /var/log/ so the system administrator sudo: can keep an eye on things. sudo: sudo: sudo: sudo: PACKAGE NAME: a2ps-4.13b-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/ap PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 897 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 3570 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: a2ps: a2ps (any to PostScript filter) a2ps: a2ps: GNU a2ps is an Any to PostScript filter. Of course it processes a2ps: plain text files, but also pretty prints quite a few popular a2ps: programming languages. Also contained in this package is psutils, a a2ps: collection of programs for manipulating PostScript files. a2ps: a2ps: a2ps is used by Apsfilter, so be sure to install this package if you a2ps: plan to do any printing. a2ps: a2ps: PACKAGE NAME: imlib-1.9.15-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/l PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 618 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 1410 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: imlib: imlib imlib: imlib: Imlib is a display depth-independent image loading and rendering imlib: library. Imlib is designed to simplify and speed up the process of imlib: loading images and obtaining X Window System drawables. Imlib imlib: provides many simple manipulation routines which can be used for imlib: common operations. imlib: imlib: imlib: imlib: PACKAGE NAME: samba-3.0.9-i486-2.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/n PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 14920 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 33850 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: samba: samba (SMB file and print server) samba: samba: Samba is an SMB file and print server for SMB and CIFS clients. It samba: allows you to make file space or printers on a Samba host available to samba: any PCs running SMB clients (such as PCs running Windows). samba: samba: If you have any SMB servers (such as Windows NT/2K Server), you may be samba: able to replace them by or supplement them with Samba. One of Samba's samba: big strengths is integration, so you can use it to tie together your samba: Linux hosts and Windows PC clients. samba: PACKAGE NAME: nfs-utils-1.0.6-i486-3.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/n PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 156 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 400 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: nfs-utils: nfs-utils (Network File System daemons and utilities) nfs-utils: nfs-utils: The nfs-utils package contains the necessary daemons and utilities to nfs-utils: run an NFS server on Linux. nfs-utils: nfs-utils: You'll also need the portmap package to use NFS. nfs-utils: nfs-utils: nfs-utils: nfs-utils: nfs-utils: PACKAGE NAME: x11-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/x PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 17788 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 52830 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: x11: x11 (X11 base package) x11: x11: This is the base package for X11, and provides the required binaries, x11: shared libraries, and support files (except fonts) to run X on Linux. x11: x11: x11: x11: x11: x11: x11: PACKAGE NAME: x11-devel-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/x PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 5445 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 16990 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: x11-devel: x11-devel (Libraries and other files for X programming) x11-devel: x11-devel: This is a set of include files (found in /usr/X11R6/include), static x11-devel: libraries (found in /usr/X11R6/lib/*.a) and configuration files x11-devel: (found in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/) needed to compile X programs. x11-devel: x11-devel: x11-devel: x11-devel: x11-devel: x11-devel: PACKAGE NAME: x11-xdmx-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/x PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 822 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 1870 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx (Distributed Multi-head X server) x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx: Xdmx is a proxy X server that uses one or more other X servers as its x11-xdmx: display devices. It provides multi-head X functionality for displays x11-xdmx: that might be located on different machines. x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx: x11-xdmx: PACKAGE NAME: x11-xnest-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/x PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 1230 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 3380 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: x11-xnest: x11-xnest (a nested X server) x11-xnest: x11-xnest: Xnest is an experimental nested server for X that acts as both a x11-xnest: client and a server. Xnest is a client of the real server which x11-xnest: manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf. Xnest is a x11-xnest: server to its own clients. Xnest manages windows and graphics x11-xnest: requests on their behalf. To these clients Xnest appears to be a x11-xnest: conventional server. x11-xnest: x11-xnest: x11-xnest: PACKAGE NAME: x11-xvfb-6.8.1-i486-3.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/x PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 1331 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 3580 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: x11-xvfb: x11-xvfb (virtual framebuffer X server) x11-xvfb: x11-xvfb: Xvfb is an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware x11-xvfb: and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using x11-xvfb: virtual memory. The primary use of this server is intended to be x11-xvfb: server testing. The mfb or cfb code for any depth can be exercised x11-xvfb: with this server without the need for real hardware that supports the x11-xvfb: desired depths. A secondary use is testing clients against unusual x11-xvfb: depths and screen configurations. x11-xvfb: x11-xvfb:
