On the other hand, some packages cannot co-exist with others on the system.
In this case a list of packages that have automatically been chosen for deletion
is presented. Accept them by clicking Continue.
If your choice results in a dependency conict that cannot be automatically
solved, you need to manually solve these conicts as described in Sec-

Software, ↑Reference).

Procedure 3.2 Installing Single Software Packages under GNOME
1 Start YaST and click Software > Software Management to start the package
manager.
2 From the grouping menu in the upper left corner, select Groups. Choose All
Packages from the left pane. Enter the name of the software you want to install
in the search eld (for example, jhead, a tool for manipulating JPEG meta data).
3 Right-click the package you want to install in the main pane and click Install.
4 In order to select more packages, repeat the previous steps. Once you are
nished click Apply twice to start the installation.
5 Certain packages are dependent on other packages, such as shared libraries.
YaST automatically resolves these dependencies. In this case, a list of addi-
tional packages that have automatically been chosen for installation is pre-
sented in the Summary Of Changes window. Accept them by clicking Apply.

You can also install software patterns. Patterns are a set of packages consisting of
tools for a specic task; for example, there is a pattern for “Technical Writing” that
consists of XML tools, special editors, the LaTeX environment, and more. To install
a pattern, proceed as follows (if you have KDE running—for GNOME see below):
