Examining software packages

In the Software Manager, you can examine two different sets of software:

• The first window of the Software Manager lists the software currently installed.

• The Install Selection window of the Software Manager, which appears after you specify a source (media, image directory, loaded software, or remote machine) for the software you are installing, lists the software available on that installation source.

To examine software on a machine across the network, from the Host menu, select Open Host. Then, type in the host name, or click on Select to choose from a list of hosts. (Sort the list by host name or IP address by toggling the Sort by buttons, or type one or more characters into the ``Filter'' field to search for a host name.) Then, examine the software as you would locally.
