-A package in .tar.bz2 format is fetched from \fIwww.minix3.org\fR,
+MINIX 3 user programs, such as emacs, kermit, and telnet are
+organized into packages. The list is available at
+\fIwww.minix3.org/software\fR. While most packages are included
+on the downloadable CD-ROM image, the larger ones are not.
+Any package can be easily downloaded and installed by just
+giving one simple easypack command listing the package names
+taken from the Website.
+Each package is a .tar.bz2 file that is fetched from \fIwww.minix3.org\fR,
 copied to \fI/usr/src/commands\fR, decompressed and untarred.
 Then the \fIbuild\fR script in the top-level directory is executed
 to install it. This command should be called when logged in as bin
 to provide write access to the relevant directories. A log file,
-\fILog\fR is produced for debugging in case building fails.
