text file showing how a list could be formatted

Currently, when running something like 'yum update', or 'yum install lots of packages', the only way to then reduce the number of packages being installed is to cancel and re-run the command, being more specific about which packages.

A more user-friendly behaviour could be to allow users to remove some packages from the list when asking if they want to continue (assumes running without "-y")

Current behaviour:

rum 'yum update'

if there are updates, you will be given a Y/N choice.

enter choice, yum proceeds accordingly

Possible new behaviour:

run 'yum update'

if there are updates, you are given a Y/N/S choice; Yes, No, or Select.

enter "S"

You are provided an indexed list of packages, and their dependencies, and you choose which packages to update, by entering the index number of the appropriate packages.

Additional info:

See attached text file for envisioned output after entering "S" at the prompt, displaying which package created which dependency.
