I'm new to this list (and fairly new to Linux). I'm curious, is the "Description" below the description that is displayed during install if you put your mouse over this package name? If so, can we submit descriptions for packages that currently have no description? How? (I currently have Mandrake 7.2 installed, maybe all the packages have descriptions in 8.0?) One last thing, may I suggest that the first sentence of the description be rearranged as follows: Basilisk II is a free, portable, Open Source 68k Mac emulator. It requires a copy of a Mac ROM and a MacOS to run (not included for copyright reasons). (I think it is better if the parenthetical phrase is after the main thought of the sentence instead of breaking it up. Also, "to run" could be deleted, and neither could be substituted for not (but I think "not" is clearer). If, by chance, only the ROM or OS is not included (instead of both), I can offer a different revision of the sentence.) (My intent is not to be critical of non-native English speakers, but only an attempt to make language displayed to a wide audience as clear as possible.)
