Figure 3.7 Installing and Removing Software with the YaST Package Manager
Changing the Installation Scope
If you have specific software needs, modify the current selection with the package
manager, which greatly eases this task. The package manager offers various filter criteria
to simplify selection from the numerous packages in SUSE Linux Enterprise.
The filter selection box is located at the top left under the menu bar. The default filter
is Patterns. Patterns install packages based on the intended use or task of your system.
For example, select File Server to set up your system as an NFS server or Web and
LAMP Server to install the Apache Web server. The groups included in the current
system type are preselected. Click the check boxes to select or deselect groups for in-
stallation.
The right part of the window displays a table listing the individual packages included
in the current group. The table column furthest to the left shows the current status of
each package. Two status flags are especially relevant for the installation: Install (the
box in front of the package name is checked) and Do Not Install (the box is empty). To
select or deselect individual software packages, click the status box until the desired
status is displayed. Alternatively, right-click the package line to access a pop-up menu
