14. Choosing Packages to be + Installed

Depending on your selections here, you may + be offered further screens to fine tune your choices.

After the selection step(s), you will see a slide show during package + installation. The slide show can be disabled by pressing the + Details button

14.1. Desktop Selection

Choose whether you prefer to use the KDE + or Gnome desktop environment. Both come with a + full set of useful applications and tools. Tick + Custom if you want to use neither or both, or if you + want something other than the default software choices for these desktop + environments. The LXDE desktop is lighter than + the previous two, sporting less eye candy and fewer packages installed by + default.

14.2. Package Group Selection

Packages have been sorted into groups, to make choosing what you + need on your system a lot easier. The groups are fairly self explanatory, + however more information about the content of each is available in + tool-tips which become visible as the mouse is hovered over them.

  • Workstation.

  • Server.

  • Graphical Environment.

  • Individual Package Selection: You can use this option to + manually add or remove packages.

14.3. Minimal Install

You can choose a Minimal Installation by de-selecting everything in + the Package Group Selection screen. Minimal Installation is intended for + those with specific uses in mind for their + Mageia, such as a server or a specialised + workstation. You will probably use this option combined with Manual + Package Selection. If you choose this installation class, then the next + screen will offer you a few useful extras to install, such as + documentation and X.

14.4. Choose Individual + Packages

Here you can add or remove any extra packages to customise your + installation.

After having made your choice, you can click on the + floppy icon at the bottom of the page to save your + choice of packages (saving to a USB key works, too). You can then use this + file to install the same packages on another system, by pressing the same + button during install and choosing to load it.

14.5. Choose Packages - Links

[Note]

Clicking the Help button may have led you to + a wrong section of this page. Please click on the relevant link below to + go to the correct section, or scroll up to see it.
