CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not deselect recommended software
bundles or remove them from your system unless you know for certain that the
software contained in these bundles is not required for your operating environment.
Software might have unstated dependencies. Deselecting software might prevent
products with dependencies on the software you deselected from functioning
correctly.
