-.SH OPTIONS
-.FL "\-\fIo\fR" "If package is already installed, overwrite it
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.EX "easypack gzip-1.2.4" "Fetch gzip-1.2.4 package"
-.EX "easypack -o  indent telnet" "Refetch these 2 packages"
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-MINIX 3 user programs, such as emacs, kermit, and telnet are
-organized into packages. The complete list is avail\%able 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,
-and then 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.
-
