About Installation Expert in Linux Package Editor
Installation Expert lets you create and edit RPM packages and provides an easy-to-use,
task-oriented user interface to perform the most common installation tasks. Each page
of Installation Expert lets you configure a specific aspect of the package.
In Installation Expert, the pages are organized into logical groups and listed in the order
in which you usually use them.
You also can create a package by importing an RPM file or Linux archive file.
You can add WiseScripts to the package to provide additional package functionality.
