Select Package Groups For Installation

This is were you will select one or more groupings of software packages for installation along with the cAos core packages. In this example all available packages will be installed (which is not necessarily recommended, but you can if you wish):

  Standard Base Utilities? [y]

  Installing this group will supplement the core OS with many commonly used
  utilities. This is not the specification for the core itself.

  Base>

The default is "y", and it is recommended to install this unless you desire a very "stripped down" installation.

  Basic Network Utilities? [y]

  This should be installed on most systems. It will install packages like
  openssh, wget, ncftp, etc...

  Network>

The default is "y", and it is recommended to install this unless you desire a very "stripped down" installation.

  Desktop packages (X and Gnome)? [y]

  This will install a working X and Gnome desktop. Select this if you are 
  planning on using this system as a desktop or you require GUI application 
  support.

  Desktop>

The default is "y", and it is recommended to install this unless you desire only a command line interface on this box.

  Development Packages? [n]

  Selecting this will install a core development environment on your system, This
  should be installad if you plan on compiling any packages from source.

  Development>

The default is "n", and it is recommended to not install this unless you plan on developing and/or compiling software on this machine.

  General Server Packages? [y]

  This will install packages like VSFTPD, Apache, Samba, etc... Select this if 
  you will be using this system as a server.

  Server>

The default is "n", and it is recommended to not install this unless you desire a multifunctional server installation. If you only want one of the servers, it is easy to install packages (and their dependencies) after installation with "yum".

After select is complete you will be asked to confirm your choices:

  You have selected the following package groups(s):

  Core
  Base System
  Network
  Desktop
  Development
  Server

  Is this correct: [1]

  1. yes
  2. no

  >

When you confirm the choices, the selected packages will be added to the list that 'yum' will be installing a little later in the installation.
