PACKAGES.TXT; Tue Feb 23 22:09:29 UTC 2021 This file provides details on the Slackware packages found in the ./testing/ directory. Total size of all packages (compressed): 178 MB Total size of all packages (uncompressed): 1335 MB PACKAGE NAME: kernel-generic-5.11.1-x86_64-1.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-5.11.1 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 7640 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 12010 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-generic: kernel-generic (a general purpose SMP Linux kernel) kernel-generic: kernel-generic: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most disk kernel-generic: controllers. To use filesystems, or to load support for a SCSI or kernel-generic: other controller, then you'll need to load one or more kernel kernel-generic: modules using an initial ramdisk, or initrd. For more information kernel-generic: about creating an initrd, see the README.initrd file in the /boot kernel-generic: directory. kernel-generic: kernel-generic: SMP is "Symmetric multiprocessing", or multiple CPU/core support. kernel-generic: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-headers-5.11.1-x86-1.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-5.11.1 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 1020 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 5640 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-huge-5.11.1-x86_64-1.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-5.11.1 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 11284 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 17110 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-huge: kernel-huge (a fully-loaded SMP Linux kernel) kernel-huge: kernel-huge: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most disk kernel-huge: controllers. If you're looking for a more stripped down kernel kernel-huge: (this one contains everything but the kitchen sink ;-), then install kernel-huge: the kernel-generic in the /boot directory along with an initrd to kernel-huge: load support for your boot device and filesystem. For instructions kernel-huge: on the initrd, see README.initrd in the /boot directory. kernel-huge: kernel-huge: SMP is "Symmetric multiprocessing", or multiple CPU/core support. kernel-huge: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-modules-5.11.1-x86_64-1.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-5.11.1 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 46508 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 280070 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-modules: kernel-modules (Linux kernel modules) kernel-modules: kernel-modules: Kernel modules are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into kernel-modules: the kernel upon demand. They extend the functionality of the kernel kernel-modules: without the need to reboot the system. These modules provide support kernel-modules: for hardware such as USB devices, RAID controllers, network kernel-modules: interfaces, and display devices, or add other additional capabilities kernel-modules: to the kernel. kernel-modules: PACKAGE NAME: kernel-source-5.11.1-noarch-1.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./testing/packages/linux-5.11.1 PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 115828 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 1052700 K PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: kernel-source: kernel-source (Linux kernel source) 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. kernel-source:
