<P CLASS="western">Mandrake has taken most of the installable
packages (*.rpms found in Mandrake/RPMS ...) and categorized them,
hierarchically, into Groups (eg. Office, KDE) and then refined it a
bit further into sub-groups (packages which should only be installed
if the corresponding tag has been selected) and then finally applied
a numerical rating (1 through 5) to each package. If you look in the
file <FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">Mandrake/base/rpmsrate</FONT>,
you can see the group/sub-group tags, followed by the rating levels
and each package assigned to that level.
</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.15in">When you use
<FONT FACE="Courier, monospace">'compssListLevel'</FONT>, DrakX will
install every package which has a rating greater than or equal ( '>='
) to the value you specify with this option, regardless of the group
or sub-group they have been listed in.</P>
