4.23. Package Group Selection
Now that you have made most of the choices for your installation, you are ready to confirm the default
package selection or customize packages for your system.
The Package Installation Defaults screen appears and details the default package set for your Red
Hat Enterprise Linux installation. This screen varies depending on the version of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux you are installing.
If you choose to accept the current package list, skip ahead to Section 4.24 Preparing to Install.
To customize your package set further, select Customize the set of packages to be installed option
on the screen. Clicking Next takes you to the Package Group Selection screen.
You can select package groups, which group components together according to function (for example,
X Window System and Editors), individual packages, or a combination of the two.
