When updating our GroupWise systems, we have to manually check which components are installed on a give server and manually track which have been done as we proceed. Typically this is done with a separate terminal session with the command "rpm -qa |grep group", but it would be nice to see it in the install screen, perhaps just with the installed build listed next to the option as per this example.

¦ Please select an option install build 125534 ¦
¦ +-------------------------------------------------------+ ¦
¦ ¦1 GroupWise Server (crnt bld 125534) ¦ ¦
¦ ¦2 GroupWise WebAccess (crnt bld 125534) ¦ ¦
¦ ¦3 GroupWise Calendar Publishing Host(crnt bld 125091) ¦ ¦
¦ ¦4 GroupWise Monitor Agent (crnt not instld) ¦ ¦
¦ ¦5 GroupWise Monitor Application (crnt not instld) ¦ ¦
¦ ¦6 GroupWise Calendar Server (crnt bld 125091) ¦ ¦
¦ +-------------------------------------------------------+ ¦

This would help admins' in having a faster install with fewer errors.
