Thanks :) This dialog has been designed to ease the installation for common users. In my opinion, many users want to only install the base system with "some" patterns and then install additional software later. If you select the "base" or "minimal" system type, then the checkbox does something, e.g., selects or doesn't select the OpenOffice and friends. Actually, the software selection is pattern-based and the pattern is called "office". Of course, the label has been selected to attract your attention to get some reports and opinions from the community. > At present, the new usage boxes don't appear to actually do anything.

There is a bug/old behavior in software proposal that doesn't expect anyone else to select a pattern/package/etc. to be installed/upgraded... Have a nice day Lukas
