- bash: GNU bash-1.14.5
- bash:
- bash: The GNU Bourne-Again SHell. Bash is a sh-compatible command language
- 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.

- comms: Serial file-transfer and communication packages.

- comms: Minicom - a full featured menu-driven communications package similar
- comms: to the DOS program 'Telix'.

- comms: sz/rz - utilities used to upload and download files using the Zmodem
- comms: protocol.

- cpio: The GNU cpio backup and archiving utility v. 2.3
- cpio:
- cpio: This is GNU cpio, a program to manage archives of files. This package
- cpio: also includes mt, a tape drive control program. cpio copies files into
- cpio: or out of a cpio or tar archive, which is a file that contains other
- cpio: files plus information about them, such as their pathname, owner,
- cpio: timestamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on
- cpio: the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.

- e2fsbn: Utilities for the second extended file system v. 0.5b
- e2fsbn:
- e2fsbn: Utilities needed to create and maintain ext2 filesystems under Linux.
- e2fsbn: Included in this package are: chattr, lsattr, mke2fs, mklost+found,
- e2fsbn: tune2fs, e2fsck, and badblocks.
- e2fsbn:
- e2fsbn: These utilities were written by Remy Card (the developer and
- e2fsbn: maintainer of the ext2 fs) and Theodore T'so.

- etc: System configuration files that go into the /etc directory.
- etc:
- etc: The /etc directory is traditionally the location where configuration
- etc: files and administration binaries are found. Under Linux, the binaries
- etc: have been moved out of the /etc directory and into the /sbin
- etc: directory; the /etc directory is now reserved for configuration files
- etc: only.

- find: GNU findutils-4.1
- find:
- find: This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs.
- find: find and xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, as far as I know. They
- find: also support some additional options, some borrowed from Unix and
- find: some unique to GNU.

- getty: getty_ps 2.0.7e
- getty:
- getty: /sbin/getty and /sbin/uugetty.
- getty: These control the process of logging into your system, and may be used
- getty: instead of 'agetty', which is the default getty included with
- getty: util-linux-1.6. getty_ps supports a number of enhancements such as
- getty: ringback support.

- gpm: General purpose mouse support v1.00
- gpm:
- gpm: This program is based on the 'selection' package, and allows you to
- gpm: use the mouse to cut and paste text from the screen. It also acts as
- gpm: a mouse server for applications running on the Linux console, such as
- gpm: the Midnight Commander file manager and dialog.
- gpm:
- gpm: NOTE: This program may cause problems when you start X on systems
- gpm: that do not use a serial mouse. If you get an 'unable to open mouse
- gpm: device' error from X, remove gpm from /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
- gpm:
- grep: GNU grep 2.0
- grep:
- grep: Grep searches the named input files (or standard input if no files are
- grep: named, or the file name - is given) for lines containing a match to
- grep: the given pattern. This is the 'fastest grep in the west' (we hope).

- gzip: GNU zip compression utilities. (v. 1.2.4)
- gzip:
- gzip: Gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding
- gzip: (LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the
- gzip: extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and
- gzip: modification times.

- ldso: ld.so 1.7.3, the dynamic linker/loader.
- ldso:
- ldso: ld.so completes the final process of linking all necessary references
- ldso: to sharable objects and unreferenced symbols in an impure executable,
- ldso: (usually a dynamically linked executable), to produce a runnable file.
- ldso: Nearly all Linux binaries in a.out format will be 'incomplete' and
- ldso: require further linking at run time. ld.so's job is thus to complete
- ldso: the linking process started at compilation. ld.so was written by David
- ldso: Engel, Eric Youngdale, Peter MacDonald, Hongjiu Lu, Linus Torvalds,
- ldso: Lars Wirzenius and Mitch D'Souza.
