By preselected I mean that their square boxes on the left were ticked by
default. :-)

Yes thhe kernel packages  were shown at first. I am talking about the next
screen where glibc, Xfree etc packages were shown ut only few were
preselected, the rest had empty square boxes on their left. I selected them
all and installed. It found some dependencies and installed those too, so I
now wonder if I chose updates for non-installed items which had as a result
their updated versions to be installed...
