Installation Summary
After selecting the packages for installation, update, or deletion, view the installation
summary with Installation Summary. It shows how packages will be affected when you
click Accept. Use the check boxes to the left to filter the packages to view in the indi-
vidual package window. For example, to check which packages are already installed,
deactivate all check boxes except Keep.
The package status in the individual package window can be changed as usual. However,
the respective package may no longer meet the search criteria. To remove such packages
from the list, update the list with Update List.
Information about Packages
Get information about the selected package with the tabs in the bottom right frame. If
another version of the package is available, you get information about both versions.
The Description tab with the description of the selected package is automatically active.
To view information about package size, version, installation media, and other technical
details, select Technical Data. Information about provided and required files is in De-
pendencies. To view available versions with their installation sources, click Versions.
Disk Usage
During the selection of the software, the resource window at the bottom left of the
module displays the prospective disk usage of all mounted file systems. The colored
bar graph grows with every selection. As long as it remains green, there is sufficient
space. The bar color slowly changes to red as you approach the limit of disk space. If
you select too many packages for installation, an alert is displayed.
Checking Dependencies
Some packages depend on other packages. This means that the software of the package
only works properly if another package is also installed. There are some packages with
identical or similar functionalities. If these packages use the same system resource, they
should not be installed at the same time (package conflict).
