Package Group Selection

Computers have uses that fall into different categories and the software they have installed also falls into different categories. Package Group Selection tries to classify the computer use (Workstation, Server) and the groups of tools each user might want. There are thousands of individual packages and some packages require other packages. The Mandrake distribution has figured out these groupings and dependent relationships and made installation much easier.

Once we make choices the program tries to decide if all of the dependent software is included and, if it is, proceeds to expand and copy our selections to the hard drive root partition.
