Figure 3-18. Selecting Individual Packages
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. When you expand this list and pick one group, the list
of packages in that group appears in the panel on the right. Flat view allows you to see all of the
packages in an alphabetical listing on the right of the screen.
To sort alphabetically, click on the
Package tab. To sort packages by size, click on the Size (MB) tab.
To select an individual package, double-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.
Note
Some packages (such as the kernel and certain libraries) are required for every Red Hat Enterprise
Linux ES system and are not available to select or deselect. These base packages are selected by
default.
