Downloading components for target discovery
If you select to pull updates from the web, when you click Next on the Source Selections screen
you see the Download Permissions screen. This list includes both Linux and Windows components
used for target discovery. If your environment does not include targets running Linux or Windows,
you can remove these components from the list to reduce the number of components that HP SUM
downloads to your system.
