Did you read the Preface? Thanks!
OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 is the most recent distribution of Linux from Caldera as this book goes to production (or ... not, as it came down, see the Preface for details). We have included a copy for you on CD-ROM at the back of the book. It is identical to the downloadable product from the Caldera Website, and contains none of the commercial packages that are incorporated with the retail distribution.
Note
For details about the commercial packages, and the various flavors of retail OpenLinux products, visit the online store at http://www.calderasystems.com/.
Before installation, we recommend reading Chapter 2, which provides guidance for planning a Linux installation. If you'd rather just jump right in at the deep end, then Chapter 3 starts right in on the nuts and bolts of installing OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4, which includes all of the software packages listed in the pages that follow.
Like most Linux distributions, the software is packaged. This means that all of the files that work together to provide a specific function or sub-function are placed together in single files, and these files are extracted to the system at installation time. Altogether, there are 655 packages in the non-commercial version of eDesktop 2.4. These are mixed and matched in package groups to provide specific sets of functionality for the completely installed system. Let's look at the package groupings.
These brief group descriptions repeat the coverage that is in Chapter 2 of this book. They are here to provide a legend and context for Table B-1 that follows. They are introduced in the order they appear on the installer screen. Each package group is numbered to correspond with the notations in the third column of the table. For instance, line 4 of the table is shown below, and is included in all of the package groups.
Herein, we omit the Custom group, since it is a user selectable package list mode of installation. However, the following table may be useful in deciding which packages to include in a Custom install.
Taking up 1310 M, this installs (surprise) all the packages on the non-commercial install CDROM. The package selection includes software development tools for many different languages, graphic manipulation software, text processing utilities, all server programs, and much more. This is also disparagingly called a "kitchen-sink install" by Linux aficionados who are in favor of installing the tools you use and no more. We see that point of view, and gently suggest that until a person knows what she wants to use, let the experimentation continue in the easiest possible manner. In the table below, all packages is not noted explicitly - rather obviously, all of the line items are included in the All Packages group.
This setup requires only 220 Mb of space, but has minimum functionality. This is an ideal core installation for setting up a server, or a space-constrained machine where adding packages/functionality is going to be a one-at-a-time process. You can also use this installation option to give yourself a working base operating system, then add packages and functionality a bit at a time.
Recommended installs all of the basic requirements for workstation and server use. 750 M of hard disk space is required. The graphical user environment is installed (X Window system plus KDE), along with a variety of user and server packages.
This 610 M package selection offers the KDE environment, business productivity software, and Internet connectivity tools. This is a good basic install for someone that doesn't want to do any software development.
At 910 M of required space, Development Workstation installs most of the packages from Business Workstation, and adds the tools for editing and debugging software. Language development support includes C/C++, Fortran, Java, Perl, Python and Tcl/Tk.
This collection is a superset of Business workstation, including more games and "entertainment value" packages.

Additionally the output format of dump is readable on other platforms (like SunOS, BSD) and vice versa. But BEWARE, this software is still under development (BETA)!!! Don't rely too much it -- but without testing, there would be no further improvement! Interleave with another backup method would be a good idea. |
| dviutils | 1.0 | RH | These utilities re-arrange TeX DVI files, creating DVI files as output. Dvibook rearranges pages so that the file can be printed as a booklet on a duplex printer. Dvitodvi rearranges pages according to a complex page specification. It can be used to rearrange for booklet printing, extract odd or even pages, overlay pages, and many other functions. |

| glibc-devel | 2.1.2 | RD | To develop programs which use the standard C libraries (which nearly all programs do), the system needs to have these standard header files and object files available for creating the executables. |
| glibc-devel-static | 2.1.2 | D | While most programs are distributed dynamically linked, and therefore need access to the standard shared libraries, some developers prefer to ship programs statically linked, which includes all of the standard library code in the executable. While this results in significantly larger programs and increases their memory usage, it does increase the portability of programs between Linux systems. |
| glibc-localedata | 2.1.2 | MRBDH | Locale data for the internationalization features of the GNU libc. |
| gnuchess | 4.0.pl80 | RH | Gnuchess is an updated version of the GNU chess playing program. It has a simple alpha-numeric board display, an IBM PC compatible interface, or it can be compiled for use with the chesstool program on a SUN workstation or with the xboard program under X-windows. |
| gnupg | 1.0.1 | MRBDH | Gnupg, the GNU privacy guard, is a highly secure public key encryption program intended to replace by Phillip Zimmermann. |
| gnuplot | 3.7 | RD | Gnuplot was originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Gnuplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers (including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is easily extensible to include new devices. Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3 dimensions). Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot on the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles, including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses (crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key. |
| gperf | 2.7.1 | D | gperf reads a set of `keys' from keyfile and attempts to find a non-minimal perfect hashing function that recognizes a member of the key set in constant, i.e., O(1), time. If such a function is found the program generates a pair of C source code routines that perform the hashing and table lookup. |
| gphoto | 0.4.2 | H | gPhoto is part of the GNU project; it is an universal, free GTK+ application and library framework that lets you download images from several different digital camera models or from the local harddrive. It will also automatically generate HTML albums suitable for web pages. |
| gpm | 1.17.8 | MRBDH | The gpm (general purpose mouse) daemon tries to be a useful mouse server for applications running on the Linux console. Its roots are in the "selection" package, by Andrew Haylett, and the original code comes from selection itself. This package is intended as a replacement for "selection", to provide additional facilities. |
| gpm-devel | 1.17.8 | D | Dynamic development libraries and header files for GPM mouse support. |
| gpm-devel-static | 1.17.8 | The static GPM mouse support library. | |
| grep | 2.4 | MRBDH | The GNU family of grep utilities may be the "fastest grep in the west". GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to look at every character. The result is typically many times faster than Unix grep or egrep. (Regular expressions containing backreferencing will run more slowly, however.) |

On other machines using the NIS services, you have to run ypbind as client or under Linux you could use the libc with NYS support. ypbind must run on every machine which has NIS client processes; ypserv may or may not be running on the same node, but must be running somewhere on the network. On startup or when receiving the signal SIGHUP, ypserv parses the file /usr/etc/ypserv.conf if it exists. | |

| rstatd-devel | 3.03 | D | This packages contains header and object files needed to build applications, that take advantage of rstatd. |
| rsync | 2.3.1 | RD | rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files. A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with this package. |
| rvplayer | 5.0 | RBDH | The Ultimate Entertainment Center which plays all RealAudio and RealVideo on the Internet |
| samba | 2.0.6 | RB | Samba provides an SMB server which can be used to provide network services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients, including various versions of MS Windows, OS/2, and other Linux machines. Samba also provides some SMB clients, which complement the built-in SMB filesystem in Linux. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol. Samba-2 features an almost working NT Domain Control capability and includes the new SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool) that allows samba's smb.conf file to be remotely managed using your favourite web browser. For the time being this may be enabled on TCP port 901 via inetd. Please refer to the WHATSNEW.txt document for fixup information. This binary release includes encrypted password support. Please read the smb.conf file and ENCRYPTION.txt in the docs directory for implementation details. NOTE: Caldera OpenLinux uses PAM which has integrated support for Shadow passwords.

This is the protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or Lan Manager use to talk to each other. It was inspired by samba, the program by Andrew Tridgell that turns any unix site into a file server for DOS or Windows clients. See http://samba.org/samba for this interesting program suite and lots of more information on SMB and NetBIOS over TCP/IP. There you also find explanation for conceps like NetBIOS name or share. |
| sox | 12.16 | RH | Sox translates sound samples between different file formats, and performs various sound effects. This release understands "raw" files in various binary formats, raw textual data, Microsoft Windows .WAV files, MAUD files, Sound Blaster .VOC files, IRCAM SoundFile files, SUN Sparcstation .au files, mutant DEC .au files, Apple/SGI AIFF files, CD-R (music CD format), Macintosh HCOM files, Sounder files, NeXT .snd files, SUN ADPCM (compressed) .au files, Soundtool (DOS) files, and Psion (palmtop) A-law files. The sound effects include changing the sample rate, adding echo delay lines, applying low-, high, and band-pass filtering, examining sample loops and grabbing the looped parts, xlating between stereo and monophonic channels nicely, reversing a sample in order to search for Satanic messages, adding masking noise to avoid buzzing voices, and the infamous Fender Vibro effect. |

Sound Tools includes skeleton C files to assist you in writing new formats and effects. The full skeleton driver, skel.c, helps you write drivers for a new format which has data structures. The simple skeleton drivers help you write a new driver for raw (headerless) formats, or for formats which just have a simple header followed by raw data. | |
| strace | 4.1 | RDH | 'strace' is a useful diagnositic, instructional, and debugging tool. System adminstrators, diagnosticians and trouble-shooters will find it invaluable for solving problems with programs for which the source is not readily available since they do not need to be recompiled in order to trace them. Students, hackers and the overly-curious will find that a great deal can be learned about a system and its system calls by tracing even ordinary programs. And programmers will find that since system calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel interface, a close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug isolation, sanity checking and attempting to capture race conditions. |
| svgalib | 1.4.0 | RDH | SVGAlib is a library which allows applications to use full screen graphics on a variety of hardware platforms. Many games and utilities are available which take advantage of SVGAlib for graphics access, as it is more suitable for machines with little memory than the X Window System. |

| sysklogd | 1.3.31 | MRBDH | The sysklogd package implements two system log daemons. The syslogd daemon is the general system logging daemon which is responsible for handling requests for syslog services. The klogd daemon runs either standalone or as a client of syslogd. Klogd 'listens' to kernel log messages, prioritizes them and routes them to either output files or to syslogd. |
| syslinux | 1.45 | SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue- and other special-purpose boot disks. | |
| SysVinit | 2.76.3 | MRBDH | System V compatible 'init' program. The parent of all processes... Its primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file '/etc/inittab' (see inittab(5)). This file usually has entries which cause 'init' to spawn 'getty's on each line that users can log in. It also controls autonomous processes required by any particular system. Also contained are equally vital programs closely related to 'init', like 'shutdown(8)' or 'sulogin(8)' and others needed mostly by 'SysVinit-scripts' (the vital configuration part to this package). |
| SysVinit-scripts | 1.05 | MRBDH | This package contains the scripts use to boot a system, change run levels, and shut the system down cleanly. It also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate most network interfaces. |
| tar | 1.13 | MRBDH | The Tape Archiver (tar) is the preferred tool for UNIX archiving, that is wrapping up whole sets of file trees into a single file or tape (hence the name), eventually compressed. You can recognize those archives by their ".tar.gz", ".tar.Z" or ".tgz" suffix (extension). For (de-)compression gzip is required. The tar program provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as various other kinds of manipulation. For example, you can use tar on previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or to update or list files which were already stored. Initially, tar archives were used to store files conveniently on magnetic tape. The name `tar' comes from this use; it stands for tape archiver. Despite the utility's name, tar can direct its output to available devices, files, or other programs (using pipes). tar may even access remote devices or files (as archives). |
| tcl | 8.0.4 | RDH | TCL is a simple scripting language that is designed to be embedded in other applications. This package includes tclsh, a simple example of a tcl application.

| Xbae | 4.7 | RBDH | Library that supplies Motif widgets `XbaeMatrix' and `XbaeCaption' What the widgets do: -------------------- XbaeMatrix: XbaeMatrix is a Motif widget which presents an editable array of string data to the user in a scrollable table similar to a spreadsheet. The rows and columns of the Matrix may optionally be labeled. Also, a number of "fixed" rows or columns may be specified - these behave similarly to the labels. While XbaeMatrix looks and acts like a grid oF XmTextField widgets, it actually contains only one XmTextField. This means that XbaeMatrix widgets with hundreds or thousands of rows have much less overhead than they would if they used an XmTextField for each cell. XbaeMatrix has callbacks for doing field validation and customizing traversal. It allows cells to be assigned independent colors. It allows rows, columns and regions of cells to be selected or highlighted. The matrix can be dynamically grown or shrunk by adding and deleting rows and columns at any position. The widget has many resources to allow individual customisation and can be made to look and behave like an extended list widget with added functionality. Pixmaps (both colour xpm and standard bitmaps) can be displayed in individual cells with the callbacks available in the widget. XbaeCaption: XbaeCaption is a simple Motif manager widget used to associate an XmLabel (caption) with it's single child. The label may be either an XmString or Pixmap and can be displayed in any one of twelve positions around the perimeter of the child. XbaeCaption's geometry management technique is to simply "shrink wrap" it's child and display the caption alongside it. By using XbaeCaption with an XmFrame child, groups of related widgets can be labeled similarly to the IBM CUA "Group Box", but with more flexibility. XbaeCaption is also useful for associating labels with individual XmTextField widgets. |

You can start xcdroast in paranoia mode as well (easy access via xcdroast_paranoia). It will then require you once to check a sample config file for cdparanoia before being able to use xcdroast in this mode. The advantage is, that in cdparanoia mode lot's of ATAPI and other CD drives are supported as an audio read device. Note, that for drives capable of reading/writing in higher speeds than offered in the menus you should leave the option set to 'default' to take advantage of the full speed. |

The design of xdm was guided by the needs of X terminals as well as the X Consortium standard XDMCP, the X Display Manager Control Protocol. Xdm provides services similar to those provided by init, getty and login on character terminals: prompting for login name and password, authenticating the user, and running a session. Be aware: Xdm is currently not working with PAM. | |
| XFree86-Xnest | 3.3.6 | Xnest is a client and a server. Xnest is a client of the real server which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf. Xnest is a server to its own clients. Xnest manages windows and graphics requests on their behalf. To these clients Xnest appears to be a conventional server. | |
| XFree86-Xprt | 3.3.6 | The Xprt print server is simply an X server with the print extension and special DDX implementations. The print extension supports output to hardcopy devices using the core X drawing requests. The print extension adds requests for job and page control and defines how specific printer attributes are communicated between the server and printing clients. | |
| XFree86-xsm | 3.3.6 | MRBDH | The xsm session manager for X11R6. A session is a group of applications, each of which has a particular state. xsm allows you to create arbitrary sessions - for example, you might have a 'light' session, a 'development' session, or an 'xterminal' session. Each session can have its own set of applications. Within a session, you can perform a 'checkpoint' to save application state, or a 'shutdown' to save state and exit the session. When you log back in to the system, you can load a specific session, and you can delete sessions you no longer want to keep. |
| XFree86-xterm | 3.3.6 | MRBDH | The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized. |
| XFree86-Xvfb | 3.3.6 | D | Xvfb is an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory. The primary use of this server is intended to be server testing. The mfb or cfb code for any depth can be exercised with this server without the need for real hardware that supports the desired depths. A secondary use is testing clients against unusual depths and screen configurations. |
| xmbase-grok | 1.4.1 | RB | xmbase-grok is a simple database manager and UI builder that can: * keep phone and address lists (like a rolodex) * store phone call logs * keep todo lists * manage any other database after simple GUI-driven customization * customized data export, HTML export built in |
| xmgr | 4.1.2 | RB | Xmgr is a Motif application for two-dimensional data visualization. Xmgr can transform the data using free equations, FFT, cross- and auto-correlation, differences, integrals, histograms, and much more. The generated figures are of high quality. Xmgr is a very convenient tool for data inspection, data transformation, and and for making figures for publications. In this package the Motif libraries are linked statically for users who have no Motif runtime libraries. |
| xmms | 1.0.0 | RBDH | XMMS is a sound player written from scratch. Since it uses the WinAmp GUI, it can use WinAmp skins, and play mp3s, mods, s3ms, and other formats. It now has support for input, output, and general plugins, and has also been GPL'd. Authors: Peter Alm |
| xmms-devel | 1.0.0 | D | Static libraries and header files required for compiling xmms plugins. |
| xntp | 4.0.97 | MRD | ... |
| xpdf | 0.90 | RBDH | Xpdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from the name of Adobe's PDF software.) Xpdf runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2. Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient. It does not use the Motif or Xt libraries. It uses standard X fonts. Xpdf is quite usable on a 486-66 PC running Linux. |
| xpm | 4.11 | MRBDH | XPM (X PixMap) is a format for storing/retrieving X pixmaps to/from files. Here is provided a library containing a set of four functions, similar to the X bitmap functions as defined in the Xlib: XpmCreatePixmapFromData, XpmCreateDataFromPixmap, XpmReadFileToPixmap and XpmWriteFileFromPixmap for respectively including, storing, reading and writing this format, plus four other: XpmCreateImageFromData, XpmCreateDataFromImage, XpmReadFileToImage and XpmWriteFileFromImage for working with images instead of pixmaps. This new version provides a C includable format, defaults for different types of display: monochrome/color/grayscale, hotspot coordinates and symbol names for colors for overriding default colors when creating the pixmap. It provides a mechanism for storing information while reading a file which is re-used while writing. This way comments, default colors and symbol names aren't lost. It also handles "transparent pixels" by returning a shape mask in addition to the created pixmap. |
| xpm-devel | 4.11 | D | Header files and documentation to develope programs that use the X Pixmap library. |
| xpm-devel-static | 4.11 | Static library to develope programs that use the X Pixmap library. | |
| xscreensaver | 3.22 | H | The xscreensaver package contains a variety of screensavers for your mind-numbing, ambition-eroding, time-wasting, hypnotized viewing pleasure. Install the xscreensaver package if you need screensavers for use with the X Window System. |
| xselection | 1.6 | R | utility to get or set an X selection or cutbuffer property value |
| xswallow | 1.0.17 | RBDH | X Swallow is a plugin cobbled together to allow any X program to be used as an inline viewer for any appropiate MIME type. So a MIME type (e.g. x-world/x-vrml) for which there does not exist, as of the moment, a plug-in for Linux Netscape can be viewed inline with ordinary VRML viewers such as VRweb/Liquid Reality. Also, it has all the abilities of mimeplugin by Carl Shimer & Michael J. Long, on which Xswallow is based, and can be therefore be used to handle MIME types that are handled by programs with no graphical interface, audio formats for the most part. This RPM is configured to use acroread for PDFs and gv for Postscript Documents. Edit /opt/netscape/communicator/xswallow.conf to change. |
| xterm-color | 2.0 | RH | This is just a set of symlinks to help ancient scripts which used some replacement for the standard xterm. Now the xterm which came out of XFree86 has got much better. This includes ansi-xterm, color-xterm, xterm-color The version number is just a hint to rpm that would otherwise not replace version 1.1 (the actual). |
| xtoolwait | 1.2 | R | Xtoolwait starts an X client and waits for it to map a window. Xtoolwait notably decreases the startup time of an X session by reducing the load on the X server and the OS. Xtoolwait starts the X client command in the background. It then waits until a window is mapped on the root window and exits. Xtoolwait also exits if a time-out occurs (by default after 15 seconds), or if command exits. |
| xv | 3.10a | RBDH | The xv program displays images in the GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PBM, PGM, PPM, X11 bitmap, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR, Sun Rasterfile, BMP, PCX, IRIS RGB, XPM, Targa, XWD, possibly PostScript, and PM formats on workstations and terminals running the X Window System. |
| xwatch | 2.11 | R | XWatch is a small program to monitor logfiles and to see any changes directly instead of having to read all the logs after a breakdown or a crash. |
| ytalk | 3.1 | R | YTalk is in essence a multi-user chat program. It works almost exactly like the UNIX talk program and even communicates with the same talk daemon(s), but YTalk allows for multiple connections. |
| zip | 2.3 | RBDH | Zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS, OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari and Macintosh. It is analogous to a combination of the UNIX commands tar and gzip and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katz's ZIP for MSDOS systems). |
| zoneinfo | 1999d | MRBDH | These are the famous "Olson Tables" in machine-readable form to be used by the libc function localtime() and friends. They state almost any offset to the international standard time "UTC" for any country in the world. |
| zoo | 2.10 | RDH | Zoo is used to create and maintain collections of files in compressed form. It uses a Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm that gives space savings in the range of 20% to 80% depending on the type of file data. Zoo can store and selectively extract multiple generations of the same file. |
| zsh | 3.1.5 | R | Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles ksh but includes many enhancements. Zsh has comand line editing, builtin spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a host of other features |
| zsh-doc-html | 3.1.5 | Extensive documentation and introduction for the zsh command shell. |
