Recipe 4 : I know I need to add package ZZZ but can't find it in the GUI?

I know I need to add package ZZZ but can't find it in the GUI?

When you use the targetconf utility to manage your filesystem, you are presented with a split display along the horizontal axis. The left pane gives you groups, which can be somewhat arbitrary, and the right pane lists the packages provided by the selected group.

As described here, you can use the command-line utility targetpkg to answer this question.

targetpkg x86_586 > package_in_group.list

The above command gives you a text file that you can grep for a specific package name. Replace 'x86_586' with your architecture string, e.g. 'ppc_8xx' for a PowerPC 823 system.

grep modutils package_in_group.list

indicates that the modutils package is in the admin group.

The above commands can be combined into a single Linux command:

targetpkg x86_586 | grep modutils
