CONTENTS: ldso lilo loadlin lprng pnp umsprogs ldso: ld.so 1.8.10, the dynamic linker/loader. ldso: ldso: ld.so completes the final process of linking all necessary references ldso: to sharable objects and unreferenced symbols in an impure executable, ldso: (usually a dynamically linked executable), to produce a runnable file. ldso: Nearly all Linux binaries are 'incomplete' and require further linking ldso: at run time. ld.so's job is thus to complete the linking process ldso: started at compilation. ld.so was written by David Engel, ldso: Eric Youngdale, Peter MacDonald, Hongjiu Lu, Linus Torvalds, ldso: Lars Wirzenius and Mitch D'Souza. ldso: lilo: LILO 19 lilo: lilo: Generic Boot Loader for Linux ('LInux LOader') by Werner Almesberger. lilo: LILO boots Linux from your hard drive. It can also boot other lilo: operating systems such as MS-DOS and OS/2, and can even boot DOS from lilo: the second hard drive. LILO comes with utilities and documentation lilo: that make it easier to install, such as 'liloconfig' and 'QuickStart'. lilo: NOTE: Installing boot loaders is inherently dangerous. Be sure to have lilo: some means to boot your system from a different media if you install lilo: LILO on your hard disk. lilo: loadlin: LOADLIN v1.6 loadlin: loadlin: LOADLIN.EXE, a loader (running under DOS) for LINUX kernel images loadlin: fully supporting the kernel's command line feature. loadlin: loadlin: LOADLIN is the safest way to boot Linux from your hard disk, if you loadlin: have a bootable DOS partition on your machine. loadlin: loadlin: LOADLIN is (C) 1994...1995 Hans Lermen (lermen@elserv.ffm.fgan.de) loadlin: loadlin: lprng: LPRng - An Extended Print Spooler System v.3.1.3. lprng: lprng: The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable version of lprng: the Berkeley LPR software. While providing the same general lprng: functionality, the implementation is completely new and provides lprng: support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed) lprng: lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; lprng: automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers lprng: serving a single queue; client programs do not need to run SUID root; lprng: greatly enhanced security checks; and a greatly improved permission lprng: and authorization mechanism. pnp: Plug'n'Play configuration utility. pnp: pnp: This package installs the 'pnpconfig' utility. NOTE: This program pnp: requires special pnp kernel patches to work. Use one of the pnp: included pnp bootdisks or kernels, or patch and compile your own pnp: kernel using the kernel patches in /usr/src. pnp: pnp: pnp: pnp: pnp: umsprogs: umsdos_progs 0.8 umsprogs: umsprogs: Various utilities needed by Jacques Gelinas' UMSDOS filesystem. umsprogs: umsprogs: umsprogs: umsprogs: umsprogs: umsprogs: umsprogs: umsprogs:
