---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : bootparamd
Version : 0.17
Release : 19.FC3
Summary : A server process which provides boot information to diskless clients.
Description :
The bootparamd process provides bootparamd, a server process which provides the information needed by diskless clients in order for them to successfully boot. Bootparamd looks first in /etc/bootparams for an entry for that particular client; if a local bootparams file doesn't exist, it looks at the appropriate Network Information Service (NIS) map. Some network boot loaders (notably Sun's) rely on special boot server code on the server, in addition to the RARP and TFTP servers.
This bootparamd server process is compatible with SunOS bootparam clients and servers which need that boot server code.
You should install bootparamd if you need to provide boot information to diskless clients on your network.

To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply add this line to your ~/.procmailrc:

CVS (Concurrent Version System) is a version control system that can record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of every version of every file you have ever created. CVS also keeps a log of who, when, and why changes occurred.
CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of providing version control for a collection of files in a single directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These directories and files can then be combined together to form a software release.
