Doc about the additional programs we have included and the problems
they solve.  It is not uncommon to see in news groups people asking
for a proggram doing this and that when they have one sitting in their
distrib.

> be done to add Xf 3.3.5 printers and acceleration?  I like being current

XFree 3.3.5 is a matter of downloading the SRPM from rufus.w3.org,
adding a couple of patches that I included in the 3.3.4 version (they
are leaytec to config files not to XFRee proper, so they will apply).
Then recompile the baast (you need at least 300 free megs and better
you are not using a 386 :-), and then uploading.

Printers: I wanted to add the support for HP's winprinters and add
them in the config tool, also because I work in a windows-dominated
company I find the config tool for SMB printers unadequate.
