PACKAGES.TXT; Sun Aug 23 08:05:39 UTC 2009 This file provides details on the Slackware packages found in the ./testing/ directory. Total size of all packages (compressed): 69 MB Total size of all packages (uncompressed): 433 MB PACKAGE NAME: bash-4.0.024-x86_64-1.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 860 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 3240 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: bash: bash (sh-compatible shell) bash: bash: The GNU Bourne-Again SHell. Bash is a sh-compatible command bash: interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or bash: from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn bash: and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is ultimately intended to be a bash: conformant implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools bash: specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2). bash: bash: Bash must be present for the system to boot properly. bash: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-firmware-2.6.30.5-noarch-1_testing.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 464 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 1520 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-firmware: kernel-firmware (Firmware installed by the kernel) kernel-firmware: kernel-firmware: These are the firmware files from the Linux kernel. kernel-firmware: kernel-firmware: You'll need these to use certain hardware with Linux. kernel-firmware: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-generic-2.6.30.5-x86_64-1_testing.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 3004 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 4210 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-generic: kernel-generic (a general purpose SMP Linux kernel) kernel-generic: kernel-generic: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most disk kernel-generic: controllers. To use filesystems, or to load support for a SCSI or kernel-generic: other controller, then you'll need to load one or more kernel kernel-generic: modules using an initial ramdisk, or initrd. For more information kernel-generic: about creating an initrd, see the README.initrd file in the /boot kernel-generic: directory. kernel-generic: kernel-generic: SMP is "Symmetric multiprocessing", or multiple CPU/core support. kernel-generic: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-headers-2.6.30.5-x86-1_testing.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 520 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 2730 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-headers: kernel-headers (Linux kernel include files) kernel-headers: kernel-headers: These are the include files from the Linux kernel. kernel-headers: kernel-headers: You'll need these to compile most system software for Linux. kernel-headers: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-modules-2.6.30.5-x86_64-1_testing.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 16340 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 84340 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-modules: kernel-modules (Linux kernel modules) kernel-modules: kernel-modules: A kernel module is a piece of object code that can be dynamically kernel-modules: loaded into the Linux kernel to provide new kernel functions. Most of kernel-modules: these modules provide support for devices such as CD-ROM drives, tape kernel-modules: drives, and ethernet cards. You can choose which modules to load by kernel-modules: editing /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. kernel-modules: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-source-2.6.30.5-noarch-1_testing.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 49700 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 348330 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-source: kernel-source (Linux kernel source) kernel-source: kernel-source: Source code for Linus Torvalds' Linux kernel. kernel-source: kernel-source: This is the complete and unmodified source code for the Linux kernel. kernel-source:
