Installation with YaST
Alternatively, right-click the package line to access a pop-up menu listing
all the possible status settings. However, most of them are not really rele-
vant for the installation. To learn more about them, read the detailed de-
scription of this module in Section 2.3.4 on page 56.
Other Filters
Click the filter selection box to view the other possible filters. The selection
according to ‘Package Groups’ can also be used for the installation. This fil-
ter sorts the program packages by subjects in a tree structure to the left. The
more you expand the branches, the more specific the selection of packages
is and the fewer packages are displayed in the list of associated packages to
the right.
Use ‘Search’ to search for a specific package. This is explained in detail in
Section 2.3.4 on page 56.
Package Dependencies and Conflicts
As with all operating systems, SUSE LINUX has certain restrictions as to
which software combinations are possible and which are not. The differ-
ent software packages must be compatible. Otherwise they might interfere
with each other and cause conflicts that affect the system as a whole. There-
fore, you may see alerts about unresolved package dependencies or con-
flicts after selecting or deselecting software packages in this dialog. If you
install SUSE LINUX for the first time or if you do not understand the alerts,
read Section 2.3.4 on page 56, which provides detailed information about
the operation of the package manager.
Exiting the Software Selection
When satisfied with your software selection and all package dependen-
cies or conflicts are resolved, click ‘Accept’ to apply your changes and exit
the module. If this module is started in the installed system, the changes
are applied immediately. During the installation, however, the changes are
recorded internally and applied later when the actual installation starts.
