Here comes an up to date list of available sets for RiscBSD.
I have mainly put in sets which are currently of interest. There may be more
(outdated ones) on the ftp site but these will be removed anyway one time.
I hope I listed all sets which are provided by Mark. I left out the user
contributed programs as I don't have time to make a list and because it's hard
to tell what some programs do without installing them as they are not provided
as sets.

I didn't use alphabetical ordering to put together sets that are related.

Feel free to make comments, propose better descriptions...
This list may and indeed should be included in documentation like the FAQ or
the installation guide.
