10.2. Customizing the Software Selection
Fedora divides the included software into
package groups. For ease of use, the
package selection screen displays these groups as six categories:
To view the package groups for a category, select the category
from the list on the left. The list on the right displays the
package groups for the currently selected category.
To specify a package group for installation, select the check box
next to the group. The box at the bottom of the screen displays
the details of the package group that is currently highlighted.
None
of the packages from a group will be
installed unless the check box for that group is selected.
If you select a package group, Fedora automatically installs the
base and mandatory packages for that group. To change which
optional packages within a selected group will be installed,
select the
Optional Packages
button under
the description of the group. Then use the check box next to an
individual package name to change its selection.
