PACKAGE NAME:  kernel-firmware-2.6.38.4-noarch-1.txz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./testing/packages
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  1008 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  2430 K
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
kernel-firmware: kernel-firmware (Firmware installed by the kernel)
kernel-firmware:
kernel-firmware: These are the firmware files from the Linux kernel.
kernel-firmware:
kernel-firmware: You'll need these to use certain hardware with Linux.

PACKAGE NAME:  kernel-generic-smp-2.6.38.4_smp-i686-1.txz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./testing/packages
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  3088 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  4360 K
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
kernel-generic-smp: kernel-generic-smp (a general purpose SMP Linux kernel)
kernel-generic-smp:
kernel-generic-smp: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most disk
kernel-generic-smp: controllers.  To use filesystems, or to load support for a SCSI or
kernel-generic-smp: other controller, then you'll need to load one or more kernel
kernel-generic-smp: modules using an initial ramdisk, or initrd.  For more information
kernel-generic-smp: about creating an initrd, see the README.initrd file in the /boot
kernel-generic-smp: directory.
kernel-generic-smp:
kernel-generic-smp: SMP is "Symmetric multiprocessing", or multiple CPU/core support.

PACKAGE NAME:  kernel-headers-2.6.38.4_smp-x86-1.txz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./testing/packages
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  556 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  2910 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.

PACKAGE NAME:  kernel-huge-smp-2.6.38.4_smp-i686-1.txz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./testing/packages
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  6092 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  7970 K
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
kernel-huge-smp: kernel-huge-smp (a fully-loaded SMP Linux kernel)
kernel-huge-smp:
kernel-huge-smp: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most disk
kernel-huge-smp: controllers.  If you're looking for a more stripped down kernel
kernel-huge-smp: (this one contains everything but the kitchen sink ;-), then install
kernel-huge-smp: the kernel-generic-smp in the /boot directory along with an initrd to
kernel-huge-smp: load support for your boot device and filesystem.  For instructions
kernel-huge-smp: on the initrd, see README.initrd in the /boot directory.

PACKAGE NAME:  kernel-modules-smp-2.6.38.4_smp-i686-1.txz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./testing/packages
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  20244 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  77610 K
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
kernel-modules-smp: kernel-modules (SMP Linux kernel modules)
kernel-modules-smp:
kernel-modules-smp: A kernel module is a piece of object code that can be dynamically
kernel-modules-smp: loaded into the Linux kernel to provide new kernel functions.  Most of
kernel-modules-smp: these modules provide support for devices such as CD-ROM drives, tape
kernel-modules-smp: drives, and ethernet cards.  You can choose which modules to load by
kernel-modules-smp: editing /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.
kernel-modules-smp:

PACKAGE NAME:  kernel-source-2.6.38.4_smp-noarch-1.txz

kernel-source:
kernel-source: Source code for Linus Torvalds' Linux kernel.
kernel-source:
kernel-source: This is the complete and unmodified source code for the Linux kernel.

PACKAGE NAME:  libdrm-2.4.25-i486-1.txz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./testing/packages
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  96 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  430 K
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
libdrm: libdrm (A library to support Direct Rendering)
libdrm:
libdrm: This library implements an interface to the kernel's DRM services.
libdrm: It is used to support hardware accelerated 3-D rendering.
