Fedora Core divides included software into package groups that make software selection easier.

The default groups for the chosen installation type are already selected. Select or remove any group of packages as desired. None of the packages from a group will be installed unless the checkbox next to the group is selected.

To change which packages within a selected group will be installed, select the Details link next to the name of the group. Fedora Core automatically installs Base Packages of a group if the group is selected. Change the selection of Optional Packages by using the checkbox next to the name of the individual package.

Fedora Core lists with each group the number of packages currently selected for installation, and the total number of packages within that group.
