It is the Package Management which you can find under 'System settings/Add/Remove Applications'.

For example, after a fresh installation with the 9.A disks, I was not able to install the SQL Database Servers programm group.

After inserting the requested cd-rom, it simply failed. Sure enough, I just tried to re-create the error, now it works...weird.
I had the very same problem on 4 different machines and 6 different installations.

It did happen after a regular "Workstation" installation when I tried to install KDE afterwards.

But now I noticed, that the checkboxes for adding/removing the X Window system + Gnome Desktop enviroment and KDE Desktop enviroment are gone.
Now I can't uninstall KDE...sure in the shell it'll work...but not in the application window.

best regards
Klaus
