| etherboot | 5.2.2 | GPL | Software package for booting x86 PCs over a network | Etherboot is a free software package for booting x86 PCs over a network. In principle this could be any network technology that TCP/IP runs on that supports broadcasting. In practice, the bandwidth required means it's only practical over LANs and some WANs. Etherboot is useful for booting PCs diskless. This is desirable in various situations, for example: - Maintaining software for a cluster of equally configured workstations centrally.` - A low-cost X-terminal. - A low cost user platform where remote partitions are mounted by NFS and you are willing to accept the slowness of data transfers that results from NFS, compared to a local disk. - Various kinds of remote servers, e.g. a tape drive server that can be accessed with the RMT protocol. - Routers. - Machines doing tasks in environments unfriendly to disks. A basic example of creating a boot floppy for a 3Com 3c90x: cat /usr/share/etherboot/floppyload.bin /usr/share/etherboot/start16.bin /usr/share/etherboot/zimg/3c90x.zimg > /dev/fd0 A pxe image: cat /usr/share/etherboot/pxeprefix.bin /usr/share/etherboot/start16.bin /usr/share/etherboot/3c90x.zimg > 3c90x.zpxe A lilo image: cat /usr/share/etherboot/liloprefix.bin /usr/share/etherboot/start16.bin /usr/share/etherboot/3c90x.zimg | dd ibs=64k conv=sync of=3c90x.zlilo A dos .com image: cat /usr/share/etherboot/comprefix.bin /usr/share/etherboot/start16.bin /usr/share/etherboot/3c90x.zimg > 3c90x.com A rom image for a NIC: cat /usr/share/etherboot/rloader.bin /usr/share/etherboot/start16.bin /usr/share/etherboot/3c90x.zimg > 3c90x.zrom makerom -i'3c90x.zrom 5.2.2 (GPL) etherboot.org' 3c90x.zrom |
| kernel22-source | 2.2.20 | GPL | The source code for the Linux kernel. | The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux kernel. These source files are needed to build most C programs, since they depend on the constants defined in the source code. The source files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is better tuned to your particular hardware, if you are so inclined (and you know what you're doing). |
| kernel24-tmb-source | 2.4.25 | GPL | The source code for the Linux kernel. | The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux kernel. These source files are needed to build most C programs, since they depend on the constants defined in the source code. The source files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is better tuned to your particular hardware, if you are so inclined (and you know what you're doing). For instructions for update, see: http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/kernelupdate.php !! The tmb kernels is an experimental kernel based on the mdk kernels, with added patches. Some of them may/will never end up in the main mdk kernels due to their experimental nature. Some refer to this kernel as a 'hackkernel' ... Use these kernels at your own risk !! |
| kernel-multimedia-source | 2.4.22 | GPL | The source code for the Linux kernel. | This kernel sources package is specifically for use with the multimedia kernel, which includes O(1)-scheduler, preemption and low-latency patches. The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux kernel. These source files are needed to build most C programs, since they depend on the constants defined in the source code. The source files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is better tuned to your particular hardware, if you are so inclined (and you know what you're doing). |
| kernel-source | 2.6.3 | GPL | The source code for the Linux kernel. | The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux kernel. These source files are needed to build most C programs, since they depend on the constants defined in the source code. The source files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is better tuned to your particular hardware, if you are so inclined (and you know what you're doing). |
| kernel-source-stripped | 2.6.3 | GPL | The source code of the Linux kernel stripped for post build. | The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux kernel. These source files are needed to build most C programs, since they depend on the constants defined in the source code. The source files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is better tuned to your particular hardware, if you are so inclined (and you know what you're doing). |

| libcap1-devel | 1.10 | BSD/GPL | Development files for libcap | Development files (Headers, libraries for static linking, etc) for libcap. libcap is a library for getting and setting POSIX.1e (formerly POSIX 6) draft 15 capabilities. Install libcap-devel if you want to develop or compile applications supporting Linux kernel capabilities. |
| ltp | 0.20040206 | GPL | Linux Test Project | The Linux Test Project is a joint project with SGI, IBM, OSDL, and Bull with a goal to deliver test suites to the open source community that validate the reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. The Linux Test Project is a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel and related features. Our goal is to improve the Linux kernel by bring test automation to the kernel testing effort. Interested open source contributors are encouraged to join the project. |
| strace | 4.5.1 | BSD | Tracks and displays system calls associated with a running process. | The strace program intercepts and records the system calls called and received by a running process. Strace can print a record of each system call, its arguments and its return value. Strace is useful for diagnosing problems and debugging, as well as for instructional purposes. Install strace if you need a tool to track the system calls made and received by a process. |
There is sufficient light for those who desire to see,
and there is sufficient darkness for those of contrary disposition.
