|
|---|
| 23 | .PP
|
|---|
| 24 | MINIX 3 user programs, such as emacs, kermit, and telnet are
|
|---|
| 25 | organized into packages. The complete list is avail\%able at
|
|---|
| 26 | \fIwww.minix3.org/software\fR. While most packages are included
|
|---|
| 27 | on the downloadable CD-ROM image, the larger ones are not.
|
|---|
| 28 | Any package can be easily downloaded and installed by just
|
|---|
| 29 | giving one simple easypack command listing the package names
|
|---|
| 30 | taken from the Website.
|
|---|
| 31 | Each package is a .tar.bz2 file that is fetched from \fIwww.minix3.org\fR,
|
|---|
| 32 | and then copied to \fI/usr/src/commands\fR, decompressed and untarred.
|
|---|
| 33 | Then the \fIbuild\fR script in the top-level directory is executed
|
|---|
| 34 | to install it. This command should be called when logged in as bin
|
|---|
| 35 | to provide write access to the relevant directories. A log file,
|
|---|
| 36 | \fILog\fR, is produced for debugging in case building fails.
