I guess I'm going to have to go ahead and just accept the defaults ...
but I am confused. It seems like some of the "reccomeneded" packages
are not marked with a + because they are only for a 64 bit hardware.
But others it seems SHOULD be marked:
patch-10242RecommendedRecommended update for Postfix
patch-10246Security Security update for tcpdump
patch-10261Security Security update for sudo
This system has postfix installed, for one, and tcpdump is universal I
believe, and sudo is in use currently. So, why would these items not
be selected automagically?
I have looked on the novell site and at the sles 9 documentation, but
I can find no comprehensive guide on how to interpete these
options/selections.
<sigh> ok, here goes 'something' ... hopefully not a system implosion!
