These interact with hardware clrngd -> sys-hardware (it's related to rng-tools) coldplug -> sys-hardware (related to hotplug) All of the following are usable as text editors. less -> app-editors (I consider it a read-only editor) ed -> app-editors (You can use it on a serial terminal nicely) sed -> app-editors These all deal with file-system data in specific ways. acl -> sys-fs (filesystem ACLs) attr -> sys-fs (filesystem extended attributes) dmapi -> sys-fs (XFS specific stuff) dnotify -> sys-fs (detect changes in filesystem, maybe sys-misc) All of these handle processes. runit -> sys-process minit -> sys-process daemontools* -> sys-process supervise-scripts -> sys-process (maybe sysvinit too) linux32 -> app-emulation (or maybe sys-devel with mips32/sparc32) cracklib-words -> app-dicts (this is where all other wordlists are) The following are not core packages. gcloop -> sys-block (loops mounted as block devices) subterfugue -> dev-util (strace is there) tcng -> net-misc (it's an extension of iproute2) ucspi-* -> net-misc (network interaction) showconsole -> app-admin (with the rest of the syslog stuff) tic98 -> media-gfx (it compresses images, similar to pngcrush) biosdisk -> sys-hardware (similar to memtest86) tmpreaper -> sys-misc dchroot -> sys-misc -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
