User Installed Packages Help

This application is intended to facilitate the re-installation of packages that the user has added to the default installation.

It can display a list of packages manually installed by the user that can be saved in a simple text file. Furthermore, the application allows loading a saved list of packages for review and selection to be reinstalled. Such a procedure is especially easy and useful after a new system installation.

There are two options to choose from:

1. quickly and easily create a list of those packages.
2. use that list in another location to review and reinstall those packages, if still available.

Create a list of user-installed packages

• A list of user-installed packages is displayed.
• Note: Packages of installed Linux kernels or NVIDIA graphics drivers will not be listed.

• Press [Save List] and select the location where the package list should be saved.

Open a previously saved list to install selected packages

• Uncheck any packages in the displayed list that you do not wish to install.
• A notification is provided for any missing packages that can no longer be installed.

• Press [OK] and the selected packages will be installed.

Unavailable packages will be listed

• Packages that are unavailable or uninstallable will be listed.
• Such a situation arises when the main package or one of its dependencies can not function within the new system.
• Press [Save List] and select the location to save the list of unavailable packages.

Packages available will be installed

• The installation process is started within a new terminal window.
• Authentication and confirmation are required to perform installation.
• Press [N] to cancel.
