Hi all,

This is a very newbie question. I'm trying to get my bearings in Fedora 13 (64-bit) in a virtual machine.

I'm using the version with the Gnome DE.

Now I'd like to install Koffice. But when I got to the package manager to select packages to install, I get a huge list of components to select for installation -- Kwrite, Kspread, Core support for Koffice, Libraries needed for Koffice, etc.

Is there any way to select the version of Koffice that I want and have the whole set of necessary packages automatically be selected too?

Thanks,

Which package manager?

It's not selecting them automatically?

Use yum?

System -> Administration -> Add/Remove Software

No. I don't see an option for "Koffice" I can select Kword, and the package manager will find the dependencies, but it won't select the spreadsheet, drawing program, etc. In other words, there doesn't seem to be a way to select the whole shebang at once. I have to select the components that I want.

Perhaps. I love the command line and yum is a great tool. I simply hoped that there was an easy graphical way of doing things.

Edit: I just discovered Yumex and it seems to do what I want.

Regards,

If you try to go ahead anyway does it select them for you?
