What is in /extra?

I've torrented the first 3 cds of 12.1, and I'm just wondering if the /extra folder on the fourth disk warrants the download?

You can decide by looking here:

12.1 Extras

I use GRUB and usually keep that updated. I also update parted because I like the gparted front-end to that tool.

/extra contains the following:

Code:

bash-3.1$ pwd
/media/data1/Slackware/slackware-12.1/extra
bash-3.1$ ls
CHECKSUMS.md5      aspell-word-lists  btmgr-3.7           inn                       parted
