- ash: ! Kenneth Almquist's ash shell.
- ash:
- ash: A lightweight (62K) Bourne compatible shell. Great for machines with
- ash: low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash,
- ash: tcsh, and zsh. Runs most shell scripts compatible with the Bourne
- ash: shell. Note that under Linux, most scripts seem to use at least some
- ash: bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup scripts are a notable
- ash: exception, since ash is the shell used on the install disks. NetBSD
- ash: uses ash as its /bin/sh.

- texinfo: ! GNU texinfo-3.1
- texinfo:
- texinfo: 'Texinfo' is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
- texinfo: produce both on-line information and printed output. Using Texinfo,
- texinfo: you can create a printed document with the normal features of a book,
- texinfo: including chapters, sections, cross references, and indices. From the
- texinfo: same Texinfo source file, you can create a menu-driven, on-line Info
- texinfo: file with nodes, menus, cross references, and indices.
- texinfo:
- texinfo: This package is needed to read the documentation files in /usr/info.

- mt_st: ! mt-st-0.1 - controls magnetic tape drive operation
- mt_st:
- mt_st: This mt originates from BSD NET-2. Some Linux SCSI tape-specific
- mt_st: ioctls have been added to the original source and the man page has
- mt_st: been updated. Although this mt program is tailored for SCSI tape, it
- mt_st: can also be used with the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with other Linux
- mt_st: tape drivers using the same ioctls (some of the commands may not work
- mt_st: with all drivers).

- #gonzo: Sample users 'gonzo', 'snake', and 'satan'.
- #gonzo:
- #gonzo: NOTE: These sample users will be created without passwords. Be sure to
- #gonzo: assign passwords to them after rebooting. If you decide you want to
- #gonzo: remove them later, you can remove a user (and the user's home
- #gonzo: directory) with this command:
- #gonzo:

- gp9600: ! This is a script that allows you to set your modem speed. If you do
- gp9600: not install this script, your baud rate will be set to 9600. If you
- gp9600: install it, a menu will be presented later on allowing you to select
- gp9600: any of the following baud rates:
- gp9600:
- gp9600: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400.
- gp9600:
- gp9600: If you need something faster than this, you should set the baud to
- gp9600: 38400, which can be changed to mean a faster rate with setserial.

- groff: ! GNU troff 1.09 document formatting system.
- groff:
- groff: The groff package provides versions of troff, nroff, eqn, tbl, and
- groff: other Unix text-formatting utilities. Groff is used to 'compile' man
- groff: pages stored in groff/nroff format into a form which can be printed or
- groff: displayed on the screen. These man pages would be in /usr/man/man?.
- groff: Most of the man pages in the Slackware Linux distribution (except in
- groff: the groff package) have been preformatted, GNU zipped, and placed in
- groff: the /usr/man/preformat/cat? directories. Groff is not needed to view
- groff: preformatted man pages.
