perfect, but should be sufficient to indicate problematic packages. If necessary, check
the version numbers.
Installing Packages
To install packages, select packages for installation and click Accept. Selected packages
should have the Install status icon. The package manager automatically checks the de-
pendencies and selects any other required packages (resolution of dependencies). To
view other packages required for installation before clicking Accept, choose Extras →
Show Automatic Package Changes from the main menu. After installing packages,
continue working with the package manager by clicking Install More or close it by
clicking Finish.
The package manager provides preselected groups for installation. You can select an
entire group instead of single packages. To view these groups, use Filter in the left
frame.
TIP: List of All Available Packages
To display all packages on your installation media, use the filter Package Groups
and select zzz All at the bottom of the tree. SUSE Linux Enterprise contains a
number of packages and it might take some time to display this long list.
The Patterns filter groups the program packages according to their application purpose,
such as multimedia or office applications. The various groups of the Patterns filter are
listed with the installed packages preselected. Click the status box at the beginning of
a line to install or uninstall this pattern. Select a status directly by right-clicking the
pattern and using the context menu. From the individual package overview to the right,
which displays the packages included in the current pattern, select and deselect individ-
ual packages.
To find language-specific packages, such as translated texts for the user interface of
programs, documentation, and fonts, use the Language filter. This filter shows a list of
all languages supported by SUSE Linux Enterprise. If you select one of these, the right
frame shows all packages available for this language. Among these, all packages apply-
ing to your current software selection are automatically tagged for installation.
