In this video we'll look at how you can customize the packages which get loaded
during the installation process. After youÔve selected a root password you're
taken to the package selection screen where you can do some elementary
customization, you can choose to install or not install the office and
multimedia package groups. Office includes the open office dot org suite,
multimedia includes a number sound and video packages. In this tutorial we'll do
more so we'll want to customize the software selection. Whatever you do you
should know the options well so you could go though this process quickly when
you take the RHCT exam. So we select customize software selection and click OK.
This takes us to the package group selection screen. There's lots of package groups
there. How do you figure them all out? If you want to know a little bit more
about each package group select it and press F2. That brings you to package
group details but in summary if you're taking the RHCT exam you're configuring a
workstation on an existing network. You'll generally want to install a GUI
desktop you know and or KDE as specified on your exam but whatever you do don't
get lost in details. You can use the per root command after installation to
install more or less. RHCTs generally aren't developers so chances are good you
won't be installing development package groups and there are a lot of them in here.
Your RHCE exam uses servers so as a RHCT you probably won't be installing things
like DNS name servers web servers or Windows file servers but remember to follow
the instructions on your exam really closely assuming you're installing a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5 client package groups of note include administration
tools such as those which can help you configure things in the GUI, editors such
as the VI editor and EMACS the gnome desktop environment sometimes you might
even be told to install games and entertainment. The graphical Internet package
group includes tools like firefox and the evolution mail manager. Graphics
includes things like the gimp which is the equivalent of Photoshop. You may be
interested the KDE desktop environment. Sometimes you'll be told to install
legacy network server such as telnet. As I said before the office and
productivity group includes the open office dot org suite. Sometimes you'll be
told to configure printing support during an exam. I've heard of candidates
who've had to configure sound or video during their exams. System tools include
more tools that start with system config dash whatever. Text space Internet
tools can be useful, if you can't get to a GUI you can still check things like
web servers with text space Internet tools such as Elinks and mail readers such
as Mutt. If you install a GUI desktop like you know markde that normally takes
in the x window system package group as a dependency. Review these package
groups in detail so you don't have to waste time trying to figure out what to
install during your exam. Thank you and on to the next video.
