Installation Summary<br />

After selecting the packages for installation, update, or deletion, view the installation<br />

summary with Installation Summary. It shows how packages will be affected when you<br />

click Accept. Use the check boxes to the left to filter the packages to view in the individual<br />

package window. For example, to check which packages are already installed,<br />

deactivate all check boxes except Keep.<br />

The package status in the individual package window can be changed as usual. However,<br />

the respective package may no longer meet the search criteria. To remove such packages<br />

from the list, update the list with Update List.<br />

Information about Packages<br />

Get information about the selected package with the tabs in the bottom right frame. If<br />

another version <strong>of</strong> the package is available, you get information about both versions.<br />

The Description tab with the description <strong>of</strong> the selected package is automatically active.<br />

To view information about package size, version, installation media, and other technical<br />

details, select Technical Data. Information about provided and required files is in Dependencies.<br />

To view available versions with their installation sources, click Versions.<br />

Disk Usage<br />

During the selection <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware, the resource window at the bottom left <strong>of</strong> the<br />

module displays the prospective disk usage <strong>of</strong> all mounted file systems. The colored<br />

bar graph grows with every selection. As long as it remains green, there is sufficient<br />

space. The bar color slowly changes to red as you approach the limit <strong>of</strong> disk space. If<br />

you select too many packages for installation, an alert is displayed.<br />

Checking Dependencies<br />

Some packages depend on other packages. This means that the s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>of</strong> the package<br />

only works properly if another package is also installed. There are some packages with<br />

identical or similar functionalities. If these packages use the same system resource, they<br />

should not be installed at the same time (package conflict).
