Sure. Most of them are on disk 1 (the installation CD-ROM) in the directory /packages. Each package is in two places: subdirectory /packages/All and a subdirectory relating to the type of software. For example, you'll find the Emacs editor in /packages/editors, and the mutt mail reader in /packages/mail. Some of the packages don't fit on this CD-ROM. They're mainly foreign-language things, but there are a few others there as well. Look for them on the third CD-ROM (CVS Repository), also in the directory /packages. Greg
