you install or update your system.
Recommended (default-installed)
To install a minimal operating system configuration (base OS) you can deselect
the recommended bundles. Only the minimal core OS will be installed on your
system when you deselect the recommended bundles.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software
bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the
software contained in these bundles is not required for your operating environment.
Software might have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software might prevent
products with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning
correctly.
Software bundles that are not installed or updated by default. You must manually
select these bundles before you install or update your system.
