9.16. Package Group Selection

Now that you have made most of the choices for your installation, you are ready to confirm the default package selection or customize packages for your system.

The Package Installation Defaults screen appears and details the default package set for your Fedora installation. This screen varies depending on the version of Fedora you are installing.

Installing in text mode

If you install Fedora in text mode, you cannot make package selections. The installer automatically selects packages only from the base and core groups. These packages are sufficient to ensure that the system is operational at the end of the installation process, ready to install updates and new packages. To change the package selection, complete the installation, then use the Add/Remove Software application to make desired changes.

Choose which package groups you want to install.

図9.49 Package Group Selection

By default, the Fedora installation process loads a selection of software that is suitable for a system deployed as a basic server. Note that this installation does not include a graphical environment. To include a selection of software suitable for other roles, click the radio button that corresponds to one of the following options:

Graphical Desktop: このオプションは OpenOffice.org 生産性スイート、 GIMP などのグラフィカルツール群、及びマルチメディアのアプリケーションを提供します。
Software Development: This option provides the necessary tools to compile software on your Fedora system.
Web サーバー: このオプションは Apache ウェブサーバーを提供します。
最低限: This option provides only the packages essential to run Fedora. A minimal installation provides the basis for a single-purpose server or desktop appliance and maximizes performance and security on such an installation.

To customize your package set further, select the Customize now option on the screen. Clicking Next takes you to the Package Group Selection screen.

9.16.1. Installing from Additional Repositories

You can define additional repositories to increase the software available to your system during installation. A repository is a network location that stores software packages along with metadata that describes them. Many of the software packages used in Fedora require other software to be installed. The installer uses the metadata to ensure that these requirements are met for every piece of software you select for installation.

基本オプションには以下が含まれます:

The Installation Repo repository is automatically selected for you. This represents the collection of software available on your installation CD or DVD.
The Fedora 16 - i386 repository contains the complete collection of software that was released as Fedora 16, with the various pieces of software in their versions that were current at the time of release. If you are installing from the Fedora 16 DVD or set of CDs, this option does not offer you anything extra. However, if you are installing from a Fedora Live CD, this option provides access to far more software than is included on the disk. Note that the computer must have access to the internet to use this option.
The Fedora 16 - i386 - Updates repository contains the complete collection of software that was released as Fedora 16, with the various pieces of software in their most current stable versions. This option not only installs the software that you select, but makes sure that it is fully updated as well. Note that the computer must have access to the internet to use this option.

For more information about clustering with Fedora 16, refer to the Fedora 16 Cluster Suite Overview, available from https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/manuals/.

図9.50 Adding a software repository

To include software from extra repositories, select Add additional software repositories and provide the location of the repository.

To edit an existing software repository location, select the repository in the list and then select Modify repository.

Network Access Required

If you change the repository information during a non-network installation, such as from a Fedora DVD, the installer prompts you for network configuration information.

The Select network interface dialog.

図9.51 Select network interface

Select an interface from the drop-down menu.
Click OK.

Anaconda activates the interface that you selected, then starts NetworkManager to allow you to configure the interface.

For details of how to use NetworkManager, refer to 「ホスト名の設定」

If you select Add additional software repositories, the Edit repository dialog appears. Provide a Repository name and the Repository URL for its location.

Fedora Software Mirrors

To find a Fedora software mirror near you, refer to http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/.

Once you have located a mirror, to determine the URL to use, find the directory on the mirror that contains a directory named repodata.

Once you provide information for an additional repository, the installer reads the package metadata over the network. Software that is specially marked is then included in the package group selection system.

Backtracking Removes Repository Metadata

If you choose Back from the package selection screen, any extra repository data you may have entered is lost. This allows you to effectively cancel extra repositories. Currently there is no way to cancel only a single repository once entered.
