I bought a retail box of 4.7 about 2 years ago.It had no printed material.I tried for about a month to get it up and running but I gave up. I was to new. I talked to people in my department about how to learn the program and they suggested I get Redhat 9 off our UCI mirror site. I have done that and have learned a lot over about one year.I got a copy of 5.2.1 off your site and began again.I have done ok now but have questions.I understand what I should be doing to install but areas I believe I should select ALL I cann't figure out how to select the all choice.One spot I select all and the next screen says no packages selected and I cann't backup.This time I am not giving up. Can you help me get back on track?
