Therefore installation of all the packages is a testing step . Such a test will show installability of packages and missing parts if any , and possible conflicts . Therefore package selection process rules may be adjusted accordingly . After marking selected packages I inspected every category list toward backward to see whether a last selection reverted a previously marked selection . Such a mark erasing did not occurred . Marking is able to select dependencies but at present it is not de-select conflicting selections . Another reason is that I am writing a multimedia information management system since 1986 and it is continuation of my PhD thesis subject . Concepts coverage is vast and I am studying every possible information sources one by one t= o learn at least their main ideas .

In this first boot , = I have included gnome_enable=3D=C2=A8YES=C2=A8 into rc.conf and re-booted . Thank you very much Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
