Group : User Interface/X Requires : (none) Description : If you want to install the X Window System (TM) on your machine, you'll need to install XFree86. The X Window System provides the base technology for developing graphical user interfaces. Simply stated, X draws the elements of the GUI on the user's screen and builds methods for sending user interactions back to the application. X also supports remote application deployment--running an application on another computer while viewing the input/output on your machine. X is a powerful environment which supports many different applications, such as games, programming tools, graphics programs, text editors, etc. XFree86 is the version of X which runs on Linux, as well as other platforms. This package contains the basic fonts, programs and documentation for an X workstation. However, this package doesn't provide the program which you will need to drive your video hardware. To control your video card, you'll need the particular X server package which corresponds to your computer's video card. In addition to installing this package, you will need to install the XFree86 package which corresponds to your video card, the X11R6-contrib package, the Xconfigurator package and the XFree86-libs package. You may also need to install one of the XFree86 fonts packages. And finally, if you are going to develop applications that run as X clients, you will also need to install XFree86-devel. ======================================== Name : XFree86-ISO8859-2 Version : 1.0 Size : 2983152 bytes Summary : Central European language fonts for the X Window System.

The fonts included in this package are distributed free of charge and can be used freely, subject to the accompanying copyright: Copyright (c) 1996, 1997 BIZNET Poland, Inc. All Rights Reserved. BIZNET is a registered trademark of BIZNET Poland, Inc. You may also need to install one or more other XFree86 fonts packages. To install the X Window System, you will need to install the XFree86 package, the XFree86 package which corresponds to your video card, the X11R6-contrib package, the Xconfigurator package and the XFree86-libs package. Finally, if you are going to develop applications that run as X clients, you will also need to install XFree86-devel. ======================================== Name : XFree86-ISO8859-9 Version : 2.1.2 Size : 1244129 bytes Summary : Turkish language fonts and modmaps for X.

If you need to display Turkish language fonts on your X Window System, or if you need a to use the Q and F style keyboard mappings, you should install the XFree86-ISO8859-9 package. You may also need to install other XFree86 font packages. If you're installing the X Window System, you'll need to install the XFree86 package, the XFree86 video card package which corresponds to your video card, the X11R6-contrib package, the Xconfigurator package and the XFree86-libs package. If you're going to develop applications that run as X clients, you will also need to install XFree86-devel. ======================================== Name : Xaw3d Version : 1.3 Size : 325503 bytes Summary : A version of the MIT Athena widget set for X. Group : System Environment/Libraries Requires : (none) Description : Xaw3d is an enhanced version of the MIT Athena Widget set for the X Window System.

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. ======================================== Name : Xconfigurator Version : 4.2.3 Size : 233162 bytes Summary : The Red Hat Linux configuration tool for the X Window System.

Ypbind must be running on any machines which are running NIS client programs. Install the ypbind package on any machines which are running NIS client programs (included in the yp-tools package). If you need an NIS server, you'll also need to install the ypserv package to a machine on your network. ======================================== Name : ytalk Version : 3.1 Size : 84256 bytes Summary : A chat program.
