Re: Setup as recommended reading
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.
