.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
MINIX 3 user programs, such as emacs, kermit, and telnet are
|
|
organized into packages. The complete list is avail\%able at
|
|
\fIwww.minix3.org/software\fR. While most packages are included
|
|
on the downloadable CD-ROM image, the larger ones are not.
|
|
Any package can be easily downloaded and installed by just
|
|
giving one simple easypack command listing the package names
|
|
taken from the Website.
|
|
Each package is a .tar.bz2 file that is fetched from \fIwww.minix3.org\fR,
|
|
and then copied to \fI/usr/src/commands\fR, decompressed and untarred.
|
|
Then the \fIbuild\fR script in the top-level directory is executed
|
|
to install it. This command should be called when logged in as bin
|
|
to provide write access to the relevant directories. A log file,
|
|
\fILog\fR, is produced for debugging in case building fails.
