## 1. Why something is missing

There are different reason why something might be missing from your system.

- You did not install all the packages. Most Linux distribution let you add the packages on the fly. On Debian systems, this is done with the `dselect` command. On RedHat systems, this is done with the `glint` command. On Slackware systems, this is done with the `pkgtool` command.
- Your distribution have non-standard components. Most distributions (for some time now) agree on the FSSTND. This document describes where things should go. At least one distribution is fun. Some RedHat 3.0.3 cdroms contain `/usr/sbin/portmap` and some contain `/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap`. Most distributions contain the later. Anyway, you will have to investigate this and fix the path used by Linuxconf.
- You did not intend to run this package anyway, so you did not install it.
