Group removal is exactly what I brought up yesterday. I would be satisfied
with the above mockup, provided that the screen that comes up with details
gives the apportunity to toggle the selection of individual packages in the
group - dependencies permitting of course (one option is to gray out with
package locked if required by another package; or ripple through to
dependants, where if I toggle off a package that others depend on those get
deselected too).
Group install should have the similar capability. I may not want the exact set
that is defined in comps.
Thanks, Willem Riede.
