Good luck with /etc/setup/setup.rc:
chooser_window_settings
        44,0,1,4294967295,4294967295,4294967295,4294967295,101,401,1090,1181

You should always check Pending last, to see what will be installed
or upgraded, if there is anything you forgot, don't need, or don't
want upgraded, and the download sizes, if time, speed, or space are
concerns, or you just don't want a pile of time or space used up by
some bloated packages.
