Figure 26-8. Distribution Settings in Preferences
In Distribution Settings, you can set the options for choosing the most appropriate pack-
age out of the selections Rpmfind returns, as well as which mirror you would like to use.
The higher the rating you indicate for your selection (as shown in Figure 26-8), the higher
the priority it will receive; a lower rating (such as "-1") will specify that packages not be
recommended.
26.5. Package Manipulation
26.5.1. Querying Packages
The easiest way to query packages is to use the Query option from the menu at the top.
If you want to query more than one package, make all your selections and then press the
Query button on the menu.
You will see a window like the one shown in Figure 26-9. The more packages you have
queried, the more tabs you will find within the Query box, each tab representing a Query
window for a package.
