Re: Setup as recommended reading

["René Møller Fonseca" <fonseca@mip.sdu.dk>]

The RPM package application Gnome RPM (gnorpm) has a filter selection 
box in the install dialog with the following possibilities:

All packages
All but installed packages
Only uninstalled packages
Only newer packages
Uninstalled or newer packages

Very convenient, I think.
