+<h5>Optional packages:</h5>
+In addition to the core requirements these packages are quite useful and
+some GRASS modules won't work without them:
+<UL>
+<li><b>bc</b> - command line calculator
+<li><b>netpbm</b> - image conversions
+<li><b>util-linux</b> - provides "more", nice for g.list
+<li><b>wget</b> - command line WWW download utility
+</UL>
+
+A good text editor, such as <b>nedit</b>, which can translate between
+DOS and UNIX end-of-line text formats is also handy to have around.
