Yes, but that accounts for Netscape serveral others but there are a
number of free
distributable packages that are missing as well. I already received an
email from one
of the people who made the 2.1.5 CD-ROM appologizing for not cleaning
the install-list from 
packages that are not on the CD. Guess we will learn to live with it.
