Hi,

Suding the install process a rather nice tool is displayed where
packages/groups can be selected for installation.

Is this tool available also when fedora is installed, and if so what
it it's name?
KPackagekit simply is too buggy for my taste, and yum a bit clumsy
when searching packages without knowing its name

Thank you in advance, Clemens

Hi Jatin,

Thanks for your answer.
Basically I would prefer the gtk packagekit frontend that is presented
during the fedora installation as part of the installer.

Thanks, Clemens

In that case,

# yum install gnome-packagekit

Run gpk-application

You could try yumex as an interface to yum.

Thats strange - all the package-groups are empty, as with kpackagekit.
Is this a known problem/bug?
