List installed software and each one's purpose


As slackware installs each package, the screen shows the app's name and describes its purpose. Is there a file in the Slackware dvd that contains all these descriptions?

It's PACKAGES.TXT. The file tree on a Slackware's FTP mirrors is the same as on a DVD.
