On this screen, you can choose which packages you would like to upgrade
(see Figure A-6).
You can choose to view the individual packages in tree
view or flat view.
Tree view allows you to see the packages
grouped by application type.
Flat view allows you to see all of the packages
in an alphabetical listing on the right of the screen.
Using Tree view, you see a listing of package
groups. When you expand this list (by double-clicking on the folder
arrow beside a package group name) and pick one group, the list of
packages in that group appears in the panel on the right.
To sort packages alphabetically, click on the
Package tab. To sort packages by size, click on
the Size (MB) tab.
To select an individual package, click the checkbox beside the package
name. A check mark in the box means that a package has been selected.
For more information about a specific package, click on the individual
package name. The package information will appear at the bottom of the
screen.
You can also select or deselect all packages listed within a particular
group, by clicking on the Select all in group or
Unselect all in group buttons.
Certain packages (for example, the kernel and certain libraries) are
required for every Red Hat Linux system and are not available to select or
deselect. These base packages are selected by default.
If any package requires another package which you have not selected to
install, the program presents a list of these unresolved
dependencies and gives you the opportunity to resolve them
.
The Unresolved Dependencies screen appears only
if you are missing packages that are needed by your customized package
selection.
At the bottom of the screen, under the list of missing packages,
an Install packages to satisfy dependencies radio
button is selected by default. If you leave this checked, the
installation program will resolve package dependencies automatically
by adding all required packages to the list of selected packages.
If you do not wish to install packages that require other
packages, select Do not install packages that have
dependencies.
To install only the packages you have selected and leave the
dependencies unresolved, select Ignore package
dependencies.
