— or —
Hold down the right mouse button and choose Unmark for install.
At this point, all desired targets should be listed and have Yes in the Marked? column. If you
have not marked any targets, you cannot proceed to the Selecting Software phase.
Selecting Individual Targets
You can add or delete individual targets.
To add a new target:
1. Select Actions→Add Targets.... The Add Targets dialog appears.
2. Type in the name of the desired target and click on Add. The Select Target Path dialog appears.
3. Click OK to accept the default (/) or click on the Root Path...button to display the Shared Root
Paths dialog, which contains more selection options.
4. Select the desired root and click OK to return to the Select Target Path dialog.
5. Click OK to return to the Add Targets dialog
6. Click OK. You have now marked an additional target.
To delete targets, select one or more targets from the Target Selection Window, then select
Actions→Unmark for Install.
Saving a Target Group
You may want to re-use your list of targets for a later session. To do so,
1. Select Actions→Save Target Group...
The Select File dialog appears. If target groups already exist, the first file path appears in the
text box in the bottom of the dialog. Type a name for a new group or re-use an existing group
(saving your current list to existing target group overwrites that group). Groups are saved in
the directory:
$HOME/.sw/targets
2. To save the group, click OK.
This saves all the target selections you have just marked (all targets listed with Yes in the
Marked? Column). This group will automatically appear in the Select File dialog for all
subsequent target group selections.
Adding a Target Group
To re-use a target group that you previously saved:
1. Select Actions→Add Target Group.... The Select File dialog appears. All existing target groups
appear in the list.
2. Select the target group you want and click OK.
The targets from that group are now marked, along with any other targets you had already
marked.
