The base gcc package is also required. GNU gcc-g77: Fortran supports a variety of extensions to, and dialects of, the gcc-g77: Fortran language. Its primary base is the ANSI FORTRAN 77 standard, gcc-g77: with some some extensions popularized by the 'f77' and 'f2c' compilers, gcc-g77: other compilers (such as Digital products), and the Fortran 90 gcc-g77: standard. gcc-g77: PACKAGE NAME: gcc-gnat-3.4.0-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/gcc-3.4.0 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 8066 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 25960 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: gcc-gnat: gcc-gnat (Ada support for GCC) gcc-gnat: gcc-gnat: Ada 95 support for the GNU Compiler Collection. gcc-gnat: gcc-gnat: This package contains those parts of the compiler collection needed to gcc-gnat: compile Ada 95 code. Ada95 is the object oriented successor to the gcc-gnat: Ada83 language. gcc-gnat: PACKAGE NAME: gcc-java-3.4.0-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/gcc-3.4.0 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 11968 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 45450 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: gcc-java: gcc-java (Java support for GCC) gcc-java: gcc-java: Java support for the GNU Compiler Collection. gcc-java: gcc-java: This package contains those parts of the compiler collection needed to gcc-java: compile programs written in the Java programming language. The base gcc-java: gcc package is also required. gcc-java: PACKAGE NAME: gcc-objc-3.4.0-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/gcc-3.4.0 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 1588 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 3610 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: gcc-objc: gcc-objc (Objective-C support for GCC) gcc-objc: gcc-objc: Objective-C support for the GNU Compiler Collection. gcc-objc: gcc-objc: This package contains those parts of the compiler collection needed to gcc-objc: compile code written in Objective-C. Objective-C was originally gcc-objc: developed to add object-oriented extensions to the C language, and is gcc-objc: best known as the native language of the NeXT computer. gcc-objc: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-generic-2.6.7-i486-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.7 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 1519 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 2130 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-generic: kernel-generic (a general purpose Linux kernel) kernel-generic: kernel-generic: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most IDE controllers kernel-generic: and the ext2 filesystem. If you need more advanced filesystems, or kernel-generic: need to load support for a SCSI or other controller, then you'll need kernel-generic: to load one or more kernel modules using an initial ramdisk, or kernel-generic: initrd. For more information about creating an initrd, see the kernel-generic: README.initrd file in the /boot directory. kernel-generic: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-headers-2.6.7-i386-1.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.7 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 1369 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 5540 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-headers: kernel-headers (Linux kernel include files) kernel-headers: kernel-headers: These are the include files from the Linux kernel. kernel-headers: kernel-headers: You'll need these to compile most system software for Linux. kernel-headers: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-modules-2.6.7-i486-2.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-2.6.7 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 10461 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 27470 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-modules: kernel-modules (Linux kernel modules) kernel-modules: kernel-modules: A kernel module is a piece of object code that can be dynamically kernel-modules: loaded into the Linux kernel to provide new kernel functions.
