Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Linux

3.27. Package Group Selection

After your partitions have been selected and configured for formatting, you are ready to select pack 

ages for installation.

Note

Unless you choose a custom installation, the installation program will automatically choose most

packages for you.

You can select package groups, which group components together according to function (for example,

X Window System, Editors), individual packages, or a combination of the two.

To select a component, click on the checkbox beside it (see Figure 3 25).

Figure 3 25. Package Group Selection

Select each component you wish to install. Selecting Everything (at the end of the component list)

during a custom installation installs all packages included with Red Hat Linux.

Once a package group has been selected, click on Details to view which packages will be installed by

default and to add or remove optional packages from that group.
