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